Boris Ignatovich, born in Lutsk, Ukraine in 1899 started at a newspaper as a journalist in the 1920s. After becoming editor, he tried his hand in photography starting in 1923.
Boris became famous for his work with perspective and "unconventional angles." He did many in birds eye view, areal, and avant garde angles. The framing of this picture is off balance, it feels heavier on the right side because of the large foot yet because of the lighting it does not make the viewer uncomfortable. Perspective was Ignatovich's specialty, this picture looks as though it was taken from a high angle. The contrast comes in the form of lighting with bright whites in the left background and dark blacks in the foreground. Contrast is also visible in size the small people and large leg/buildings. The ground and the sky are almost identical, giving the eggect the foreground melting into the background.

I chose to do the shot focusing on light, perspective, and proportion. The lighting is brighter on the left side while it is darker in the right corner. The model is much smaller than the poster, mimicking the proportion of the foot and the people on the sidewalk. Finally the angle of the picture has been taken from an aerial perspective, as in the photograph above.
