I've noticed that I favor negative space to the left of my pictures instead of the right. It isn't 100%, but certainly enough to be noticed.

So that makes my pictures right handed (subject on right).

Are there more righties than lefties out there? Is it a product of western civilization reading from left to right?

Edited to reflect that I may be the only Westerner who doesn't read from LEFT to RIGHT.

I think I tend to go with negative space to the right, subject to the left. Makes sense, since my dominant eye is my left.

I intentionally try to not fall into a pattern with this, that is, I try to have images that read left to right, right to left, up/down, at a diagonal, in a swirl, whatever.

I can't read. I actually use an infinite number of monkeys to type any posts I want to make.

My tend to be centralised, does that mean I am self centred?

We can't have monkeys here, we don't pay peanuts! So I have to use random jabs at the keyboard thingie, hoping something is readabubble.

Yes. This is precisely it. Though many of my images tend to be anchored to the right as well. It's not a conscious decision, but maybe my brain finds it more striking that way because it defies the usual order?

Both. I thought that was the purpose of the battery grip??? So you can have 2 trigger fingers.

But like AJAger, I can't read left or right, I am directionally dyslexic, also speelink dysexlic, and numerically, so people keep telling me to OF

It means you should have a kickin' entry this week. :)

When I use negative space, I'm not sure that either side dominates. It depends on my subject, and my mood, largely. And, being a woman, we all know how variable that can be.
