Playing with Negative Space by jamibann

Playing with Negative Space

The fun thing about February (for me) is that it gets me away from my 'journal' style photography and makes me think about subject matter and photographic styles. I was messing with the new camera, and thinking about negative space, and I came up with this. Not very exciting, but there was something I liked about it.

So, there's no real story here, other than to say that this chest of drawers sits in my office space, and it used to belong to my dad's sister Carol. It spent most of its life in Dover, had a few years in France and has been living in Ballater for about 14 years now.
beautifully detailed knobs and a nice piece of history to hang on to.

I love that you felt it wasn’t very exciting, but there was something you liked about it. the way you took picture with the angle had me looking at it in a different perspective and it was neat.

There's an old-style sensibility about this, and photographed in a way to bring out it's character!

This is an artistic POV. I really like it.

I like how you've moved the subject to the side which draws attention to the wood grain which in turn fills the "negative" space with a really nice texture. I'm glad you're enjoying the challenge. Good shot!
