Stanley Kubrick‘s cinematic eye was influenced by his having shot thousands of stills for Look magazine, of course, but more primally, I’ve read or discerned, by the framings of Sergei Eisenstein. (I’m thinking particularly of Que Viva Mexico!) I swear to God that every time I take a photo or a video clip I’m always framing like Kubrick and Eisenstein. Exactly like, I mean. Same shape, balance and focal point. John Ford‘s visual aesthetic was never quite this balanced and centered, but…well, that was Ford. (Source: Kogonada.com)
