Definitie & Betekenis van "lead room"

What is "lead room"?

Lead room is the space left in front of a moving or looking subject within a photograph or video frame. It helps to create a sense of direction and balance by providing visual space in the direction the subject is moving or gazing. Proper lead room ensures that the subject does not appear cramped or confined, allowing for a more natural and engaging composition. It helps guide the viewer's eye and gives the subject room to "move" within the frame.
