Stanley Kubrick Self Portrait Critique



The composition in this photo is really amazing. The shallow depth of field really draws the viewers eye right onto Kubrick. I think it is great that the camera is included in this photo. It seems like every one of us has tried to get that good of an angle while taking a picture of ourselves in the mirror. I also think it is really interesting that the watch is shown, considering how long Kubrick's films always took to produce. However we could only be so lucky as to get a shot as good as this one. After examining everything that is in focus, my eyes can't help but be drawn to the chaotic background. It seems like on the top right there is a doorway, that leads to another doorway, into an area that is just to blurry to see. I'm pretty sure that this is no accident on Kubrick's end.
