One of the hardest things beginner photographers do is not to place the subject of their work dead center in most of their images. Playing with the space of your image frame can create more riveting and exciting images. While photographing on the Brooklyn Bridge, I came across a young couple taking their own photos of each other on the bridge. I thought it would be a fun photograph to include them in my image.  I moved around a bit and decided to play with my spacing. I positioned the couple off center to lead the viewer’s eyes in from the left and to include the majestic bridge. The result is energetic and different point of view photograph. Had I photographed the couple dead center, the couple might have been overpowered by the bridge.

While looking through your viewfinder, move around. Take your subjects off center to create visually pleasing images that tell a different story. Play with spacing on top or bottom or on the side of your image. You will produce eye catching images that are unique.
