More impact with less: negative space can improve your photo!

Negative space refers to intentionally using empty areas in your image to surround and highlight the main subject.

  • Directs the viewer’s focus to the key element.
  • Creates a calm, minimalist composition.
  • Enhances storytelling by simplifying the scene.

Tip: Simple backgrounds like the sky, water, or a plain wall help emphasize your subject. Less is often more!

Servus zusammen,

mein Name ist Markus und seit 2014 widme ich mich der Video- & Fotografie von Naturmotiven. Diese Leidenschaft begann während meiner zahlreichen Reisen durch Japan - von Hokkaido im Norden bis hinunter nach Okinawa im Süden. Diese Erfahrungen haben mich wieder stärker mit der Natur verbunden und auch die WildeNatur vor meiner eigenen Haustür entdecken lassen.

🇺🇸 Who is writing here:
Hello everyone,
My name is Markus, and I've been passionate about video and photography of nature scenes since 2014. This passion started during my many trips across Japan—from the northern reaches of Hokkaido all the way down to Okinawa in the south. These journeys have helped me reconnect with nature and also explore the wild beauty right outside my own front door.
