Not the best - and really simple - but gives an idea



the sky is the negative space - the lamp the subject.



the grass is the negative space - the frog the subject




the black background is the negative space - the gargoyle the subject.


The thing is, we all use negative space already in our photos. We just might not think of it as such. Be sure to look for more examples on the web.

Hope this helps!!
