Photography -- Negatives.

 Subject
Subject Source: Library of Congress Subject Headings
Scope Note: A negative image is a total inversion of a positive image, in which light areas appear dark and vice versa. A negative color image is additionally color reversed, with red areas appearing cyan, greens appearing magenta and blues appearing yellow. This sometimes can have a reverse effect and cause the greens to appear a reddish brown. When refering to photgraphy, this most likely is about the processed film strip that is called a "negative" - it is one of the phases of the processing step from image to photograph.
