I was unclear about shooting negative space. Negative space is when you focus more on the background, rather than on the image. Another term that was hard to comprehend was
frame and radical cropping. Frame and radical cropping is when the image fits solely into the cameras view finder. Oblique angle was on clear also. Oblique angle is when the image is taken from a diagonal perspective. Unfortunately, I am still having problems with Shallow and deep space.

The photographer that I chose is Robert Mann’s image #17. Mr. Mann depicts this image of Delmonico as warm and inviting which was created by the dark tones. This advertisement also represents the glamor of New York City. Mr. Mann’s main goal is to create focus. He wanted to direct the viewer’s attention to this bold portrait-which creates a great conversational piece. This image was taken solely for advertising purposes.
The photographer emphasized on scale to convey selective focus.
Technical matters did not hinder the image in this setting. Mr. Mann intentionally did not place anyone into the frame, so he can capture the beauty of this scene and not to subtract from the image’s focal point.
Graphic elements are important in this image. In this one point perspective advertisement, the gigantism of the portrait is my view point, and its where my focus returns to, which in turn, creates positive space.
The illuminating lights on the photograph place emphasis on the portrait’s focal point. In addition, the lighting creates a sense of texture on the walls.
The hues of this photograph creates contrast with a low key tone.
This advertisement of Delmonico, relates to the other images by tone and contrast.
