Dass der Beruf des Fotografen weit mehr bedeutet, als nur die Kamera in die Hand zu nehmen, haben wir bereits in den anderen Teilen dieser Artikelserie eindringlich gesehen. Aber wie viel Zeit davon fließt ins Marketing, ins Schreiben von Blogbeiträgen und das Pflegen der Kanäle in den sozialen Netzwerken usw.? Neun Berufsfotografen haben uns geantwortet.

One element of composition that is often overlooked is the use of negative space – basically including a whole lot of nothing in your image.
Let’s look at a few images that use negative space, and simplicity, to create a dynamic and interesting composition.

The post 25 Spacious Images that use Simplicity Effectively by Darlene Hildebrandt appeared first on Digital Photography School.
Composition is one of the keys to creating a strong and effective image. One compositional element you can use is negative space. Basically simplification to the highest level, and making the subject isolated with lots of empty space around it. Here are a few examples.
I tell my students all the time – get closer, simplify!

Often I see new photographers trying to cram too much stuff into their images, and they just end up being confusing, and ineffective. By simplifying and removing everything except the subject the viewer has no choice but to see it. Taking it a step farther and composing so as to have space around the subject, room for it to move or breathe, allows the image to take on a feeling.
Negative space can add a feeling of loneliness, solitude, quiet, peace, serenity, or even movement. What do these say:

Simply upload your shot into the comment field (look for the little camera icon in the Disqus comments section) and they’ll get embedded for us all to see or if you’d prefer upload them to your favourite photo sharing site and leave the link to them. Show me your best images in this week’s challenge. Sometimes it takes a while for an image to appear so be patient and try not to post the same image twice.

Looking at photographs of highways entirely eaten by vines and destroyed shops filled with trash and cobwebs, it’s easy to downplay their tragedy by comparing them to the set of a post-apocalyptic film. All of these images of Fukushima, Japan, taken four years after the earthquake and tsunami that caused the local nuclear power plant to melt down, almost seem too shocking to be real. But they are, and photographer Arkadiusz Podniesinski doesn’t want you to forget it. Within the exclusion zone, contaminated by radiation, lies a haunting ghost town with signs of its abrupt abandonment strewn everywhere you look.
If this all sounds reminiscent of another nuclear disaster, that’s part of the point of Podniesinski’s photo series. The photographer has visited Chernobyl a number of times over the past seven years, documenting its deterioration and subsequent reclamation by nature in the hopes that he could help remind the world that it’s human error that keeps causing these events to occur.
“It is not earthquakes or tsunami that are to blame for the disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station, but humans. The report produced by the Japanese parliamentary committee investigating the disaster leaves no doubt about this. The disaster could have been foreseen and prevented. As in the Chernobyl case, it was a human, not technology, that was mainly responsible for the disaster.”
“I came to Fukushima as a photographer and a filmmaker, trying above all to put together a story using pictures. I was convinced that seeing the effects of the disaster with my own eyes would mean I could assess the effects of the power station failure and understand the scale of the tragedy, especially the tragedy of the evacuated residents, in a better way. This was a way of drawing my own conclusions without being influenced by any media sensation, government propaganda, or nuclear lobbyists who are trying to play down the effects of the disaster, and pass on the information obtained to as wider a public as possible.”
See dozens more incredible images and read the accompanying story of Podniesinski’s journey through the Fukushima Exclusion Zone on the photographer’s website.

Eigentlich bin ich nicht der Typ, der Testberichte schreibt und lese diese auch nicht mehr. Meine Meinung zu Testberichten: Es gibt kaum etwas Subjektiveres und hilfreich sind sie nur, wenn ihr den Menschen und seine Anforderungen an die Fotografie kennt, die er mit dem Testbericht zum Ausdruck bringt. Zumindest, wenn es um mehr als pure Technik geht. Dennoch schreibe ich etwas zum Thema OM-D vs. Nikon als Testbericht im weiteren Sinn – warum?
