This week the creative challenge involved using negative space as an essential element in an image. I was inspired by the challenge to shoot this high contrast image of our cat, Thomas napping in the sun. I played with our blinds to adjust the way the light fell on Thomas and shot from a number of angles until I got the image I wanted. Because the majority of the image is left dark dark, my eye goes right to the strip of light on the chair leading to Thomas' sleeping face. Enough detail of his head and body remain to let me know the image is of a cat but the focus remains on his face because of the use of negative space for the majority of the image. I love the artistic feel of this photo and doubt if I would have shot in such high contrast light conditions if not for the challenge. So I thank Lindsay Adler again for her creative inspiration!
