In 2021, the U.S. space agency NASA launched a spacecraft toward a pair of asteroids more than 11 million kilometers away. The target? The smaller of the two asteroids, just 170 meters wide. The success of the $300 million, seven-year project demanded careful coordination of scientists, engineers, and project managers across different national space agencies. It also required strong leadership from NASA's head of science, Thomas Zurbuchen. He shares his path to an executive role at NASA, his management philosophies, and how he oversees trailblazing space missions with high risk of failure.

Picture a scene where the main act is not just what fills the frame, but also what doesn’t. That’s negative space photography, a technique that turns emptiness into expression and silence into storytelling.

In this deep dive, we’re peeling back layers to reveal how much weight nothingness can hold in your shots.

You’ll grasp why every photographer needs to give their subjects some breathing room and learn how empty areas are not missed opportunities but rather essential for creating balance and drawing attention right where you want it.

We’ll explore ways to use plain backgrounds or blurred surroundings as powerful tools that add feelings of calm, tension, or intrigue—all by letting less say more.

Negative space photography, often seen as the quiet hero of composition, plays a crucial role in how an image is perceived. It’s not just about what you capture—it’s also about what you leave out. This technique can make your main subject pop by simply giving it more breathing room.

Defining Negative Space and Its Role in Visual Composition

Negative space refers to the area surrounding the main subject—or positive space—of a photograph.
