Does anyone know how to specify a colour for padded space in CSS?

I'm bordering/padding photographs on my website, here's the code:

photoimg {

padding: 5px;
border: solid 1px #CCCCCC;

}

That seems to work but the space between the image and the border is transparent (I'd like it to be white), are there any work-arounds to this problem?

Thanks
