see how the lower left and right edges are darker than the rest of the photo. And did the photographer use a wide angle lense for this shot?

You could easily just burn the edges, and yes I would say Wide-Angle If I was to guess.

Mr. Rosenthal is heavily into traditional B/W printmaking techniques, including extreme corner burn. Based on the angle-of-recession of the wall tiles, this is not all that wide and angle of a shot; I'm guessing 28mm (35mm cam equivalent).

Defiantly a wide angle. This effect can be done with Adobe camera raw or by burning in PS. The is a tutorial thats really good at the radiantvista.

Look at Nov. 24 video...

There could be several reasons for the vignetting around the shot. Lens aberations, stacking filters to name a few. Or it could be done quite easily in photoshop.

edit to comment: in fact, looking at it closer and examining the vanishing points, might be 35mm or even 50mm, hard to say without knowing whether he cropped.

Regardless, the photographer picked a sweet location to shoot, the lines/angles really draw you in.

Yeah but the subject is centered! What about the rule of thirds!?!
hahahahaha (love when I get a comment something to that affect)

Yes, it's a snapshot and should be disregarded ;-) LOL

Usually the rule of thirds is used for non-symmetrical compositions. Since this is a completely symmetrical composition, the rule of thirds is useless and would actually ruin the photo.

I believe they forgot to use their [sarcasm][/sarcasm] button.

Not 50mm. Look at the curvature of the walls. Cropped or not I'm going to guess and say 28 mm or wider. Probably in the realm of between a 20 and a 24 if it was a 35 mm camera. It was shot in 94' so I'm guessing 35 mm film.

Graet image, BTW.

yes, everything is symetrical, the little girl is lined up perfectly between the two stair cases. So is it safe to say this was a set up shot?

Yes it was set up. Rosenthal uses this model in other images.

Possibly, but probably not. You will get some light falloff in the corners using most wide angle lenses, but this was probably helped along in the darkroom.

Photoshop >lighting effects >omni should be capable of reproducing this effect fairly precisely as well.
