dimensions: length and
width.

Form in Photography
 Form: Form is basically a three-dimensional
shape, and is best accentuated by side lighting
since it casts soft shadows. This difference
between light and shadows gives a better
illustration of the depth of an object.

Space in Photography
 Positive: Using positive space in a photograph
draws all of the attention to the subject. There
will be little empty space around the main focal
point.

 Negative: Using negative space in a picture
gives your subject more room to ‘move’ within
the image. It creates a sense of openness.
