MA

There is an interesting Japanese philosophy called MA. Its basic premise is that the space between things is an important factor in composition and mostly goes unnoticed by the photographer, but that space holds meaning. It’s not emptiness because it is ripe with potential. It should be used deliberately and add value to a photo. The same principles hold true in music.

 

Secondly I used silence to allow the spaces to develop without intrusion.

 

And I used a Meyerowicz rule; “leave the center empty and make the viewer read around your photo.”
