Negative Space

1/60 f3.2 ISO100

This week I took a picture of the metal thing in the middle of a record player. I was inspired by the way that the colors of the vinyl showed up in the reflection. When I took a picture, I realized it showed negative space. I showed this by placing the subject of very small in the picture, so the negative space, or the background is highlighted.

I wanted to be able to see the colors that I was first inspired by so I put a saturation layer of +50 in Photoshop. I also lowered the contrast so the background wouldn’t be too dark and overshadow the subject.
