Adjusting the Space Around Images
You can adjust the white space around images by adjusting the margin and the padding. In terms of the CSS box model, modifying the padding property adjusts the space inside the border area. For example, if you create a border or background color for an image and you increase the size of the padding, the border moves away from the image.
Modifying the margin properties adjusts the space outside the border area. For example, if you create a border or background color for an image and you increase the size of the margins around the image, the border remains the same distance from the image. However, the position of the image changes since there is more white space between the modified image and other elements on the page.
