Creating a deliberate imbalance by using a visual division or an expanse of empty space in the frame is a simple and effective method for making strong graphic portraits. Empty space can provide weight, balance and intrigue, so a tight crop of your subject may not always be the best option. Often, this is done for the sole purpose of creating an interesting composition, though images with a clear division may also be part of a brief – for instance, magazines that require space for text to flow over may request that much of the frame is left empty. When shooting an image in this style, look for something that separates the main subject from the rest of the scene while still connecting all the elements.
