Negative space (or white space as it is sometimes called) has been used in art, architecture, design, sculpture, and photography. Negative space (and it does not have to be black as the word 'negative' connotes) is the area that surrounds the main subject (which is often called the 'positive space'). The subject does not have to appear in the center of the composition; rather it can be offset to draw the eye toward it. The space created around it is the 'negative' space, and it has nothing attracting the eye away from the main subject.
A single color, or gradual shades of that color (monochromes), or bokeh that is muted can all serve as the background to the main subject.
Negative space can provide a natural background and give 'breathing room' to the main subject. It may take some practice to achieve this as this is subjective in nature.

8x10 Paper Negative
expired Ilford Matt paper
Caltar 305mm f/8
B&W negative scanned as colour negative.
Amongst the neglected negatives I was scanning yesterday I also found these lovelies.
Taken in the early 1990's, still in our previous flat but about to move (across the landing) to the present one.
Some show clear evidence of camera malfunction but none the worse for that.
On the last Kitty is with my parents in Covent Garden.
Mixing modern technology with vintage technology.
3 shots were taken with a 90 year old camera and paper negatives with different exosures and just like with digital photos, they were merged together in Photoshop to obtain an HDR (High Dynamic Range) photo with better shadows, highlights and middle tones.
I am driving in and out of the city today. I have a feeling that I will be wiped out when I get in tonight. I figured I had better use my morning to get a shot for my daily. This cat sitting in the window seemed to lend itself to a b&w treatment that I though might also work for totw negative space.
I was just curious as to what a negative image of a peacock would look like. Was it worth it? Original photo by John Ward Kelly IV
Original Vase of Flowers artist Jan Davidsz de Heem
The picture reflects reality. The painting reflects the imagination. When I flip both images, sometimes my eyes don't understand which one is more realistic.

Rodenstock Sironar 1:6,8/360mm (6 836 747). Ott: Compur 3.
EV9 grey card with common light meter in artificial light 5600°Kelvin (plus three flash lamps).
f8; 30 minutes.
Paper: Canson Marker
Iodizing and Sensitization: Pelegry (No whey, just water and lactose), dextrin and tannin as preservatives
Developed Gallic acid for 20 minutes, followed by adding Silver nitrate in the bath and further developing by inspection (18 minutes for this negative)
Washed in H2O, than tap running water.
Fixed in Thyosulfate 15% 5 minutes and washed again.
It is my first calotype.
The scan of the negative has been made trying to reproduce how it looks like at visual inspection in reflected light.
I've tried to reverse the image and figure a result.
The scene digital shot is provided too.
Better than nothing, for a first try. In the following days I'll try to wax the paper and print it in some way (salted paper? Albumin?)

I gave away my first fold of this model, partly to motivate me to fold it a second time. Worked. Hated the offgrid precreasing, loved the collapse. The EH is treated with oil pastels, but that's almost not to see when back lit.
Gave this one away too as a Christmas present to my mum, who decorated it like this. I really do like the framing! Photo curtsey to my partner.
This is something to think about when negative people are doing their best to
rain on your parade. So remember this story the next time someone
who knows nothing and cares less tries to make your life miserable.
A woman was at her hairdresser's getting her hair styled for a trip to Rome with
her husband. She mentioned the trip to the hairdresser, who responded:
" Rome ? Why would anyone want to go there? It's crowded and dirty. You're
crazy to go to Rome. So, how are you getting there?"
"We're taking Continental," was the reply. "We got a great rate!"
"Continental?" exclaimed the hairdresser. " That's a terrible airline. Their
planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly, and they're always late.
So, where are you staying in Rome ?"
"We'll be at this exclusive little place over on Rome 's Tiber River called
Teste."
"Don't go any further. I know that place. Everybody thinks it's gonna be
something special and exclusive, but it's really a dump."
"We're going to go to see the Vatican and maybe get to see the Pope."
"That's rich," laughed the hairdresser. You and a million other people trying to
see him. He'll look the size of an ant.
Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours. You're going to need it."
A month later, the woman again came in for a hairdo. The hairdresser asked her
about her trip to Rome .
"It was wonderful," explained the woman, "not only were we on time in one of
Continental's brand new planes, but it was overbooked, and they bumped us up to
first class.
The food and wine were wonderful, and I had a handsome 28-year-old steward who
waited on me hand and foot.
And the hotel was great! They'd just finished a $5 million remodeling job, and
now it's a jewel, the finest hotel in the city.
They, too, were overbooked, so they apologized and gave us their owner's suite
at no extra charge!"
"Well," muttered the hairdresser, "that's all well and good, but I know you
didn't get to see the Pope."
"Actually, we were quite lucky, because as we toured the Vatican, a Swiss Guard
tapped me on the shoulder, and explained that the Pope likes to meet some of the
visitors,
and if I'd be so kind as to step into his private room and wait, the Pope would
personally greet me.
Sure enough, five minutes later, the Pope walked through the door and shook my
hand! I knelt down and he spoke a few words to me."
"Oh, really! What'd he say ?"
He said: "Who fucked up your hair?"

Carlos Santana describes the Mission District in San Francisco as one of this country's most creative art scenes. "The whole neighborhood is a massive public artwork, both sacred and profane, brimming with graff and goddesses." All around the district there are posters and poetry and political calls to action. There are tribal graffiti and Gothic lettering, traditional murals and lattices of tags.
Balmy Alley is the oldest and most famous mural alley in the Mission. It is a block long alley and the best place to see the most concentrated collection of murals. The murals began in the mid-80's as an expression of artists' outrage over human rights and political abuses in Central America. Today the alley contains murals on a myriad of styles and subjects from human rights to local gentrification.
Aaron Noble painted this mural in Balmy Alley in collaboration with Andrew Schoultz. Aaron, born in 1961, is inspired by comic book imagery. His wall paintings incorporate superhero body parts morphed, stretched, and free floating in a ‘negative space’ landscape. He is well-known in San Francisco having been one of the founders of the Clarion Alley Mural Project in the early 1990's. Andrew Schoultz, born in 1975, moved to San Francisco in 1998. His outdoor murals - wooden war horses, limb-less trees, erupting volcanoes, tornadoes, clouds of flying arrows - have become an important part of the urban fabric in the Mission District and beyond.
