Competition results for our sixth and last round of competition for 2024 - "Negative Space" and Open. Our judge for this competition was Mark Bloothoofd.

Thanks to all members who entered this round of competition.

For the purposes of this competition the set subject of "Negative Space" was defined as:

Negative space is a key concept in photography that involves the use of empty or open space around the subject of an image. Negative space is not just about what is absent in a photo; it's about using that absence to enhance the overall composition and storytelling of the image.

Chrisy's presentation will show two studio lighting styles for still life or table top subjects. She has made the images using studio lighting, however speedlights will work just as well. Chrisy's subject and background are the same in both styles. The effect is achieved using different styles of lighting.
