I began this assignment prompt by searching through my personal albums, Pexels<\/a>, Flickr, and through digital collections<\/a> at the Library of Congress. Many collections caught my eye, but ultimately I really enjoyed searching through the William P. Gottlieb Collection that contains images documenting the jazz scene in New York City and Washington, D.C., from 1938 to 1948.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After cropping many photographs from this collection, I chose to highlight the above image of Frank Sinatra and Axel Stordahl at Liederkrantz Hall in New York, circa 1947. The original image is very busy, with Frank Sinatra in the foreground in the right-hand corner and the large orchestra in the background. I decided to crop the group of men in the background out using the 1:1 square preset and make Frank Sinatra the focal point, plus keeping him slightly off center to follow the rule of thirds. I also tried a similiar method after, instead cropping out Frank Sinatra and making the focal point the orchestra, but didn’t like the outcome as much because, for me, it’s too dark and has too much negative space (included below as well).<\/p>\n\n\n
