New Artist Challenge - Stanley Kubrick

May 18th, 2012
Howdy, everyone.

First off, thank you very much for voting my Max Dupain portrait as top dog for the last competition. It made me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Secondly, apologies for the delay in getting the next challenge up and running. I was on vacation, and, well, I don't recover well when vacations end.

The Artist Challene this time around is to make a photograph imitating the style of American filmmaker, photographer, and storyteller Stanley Kubrick.

For those of you unfamiliar with Kubrick, his history, and his vast library of cinematic brilliance, here are a few links:

Biographical information.

His filmography.

Iconic moments in his films.

Photographs of 1940's NYC.


Tons of information on his films, including more images.

Feel free to take a photograph recreating a scene from one or more of his films, or to photograph something in style that is reminiscent of his work, or to take a concept of his and make it your own. However you'd like to do it. It's wide open.

The challenge will start now, and will close at midnight on Friday, May 25th. Please tag your photo ac-kubrick to enter the competition.

Thanks, everyone! Looking forward to seeing your work.

My homage to Stanley Kubrick, for the new Artist Challenge.

I'm posting this only to get the competition started. Although I am obviously not entering, I have still tagged this as an entry so that people see it and are immediately discouraged from recreating this particular scene.

The body of work that Kubrick has created in his lifetime is endless, and extremely rich and inspiring. Let's not all be hacks like me and recreate this ubiquitous meta pop culture reference.

Excellent choice, I'm just hoping no one recreates this.... (NOT FOR THE SQUEAMISH) http://www.freshngood.com/2011/12/stanley-kubrick-new-york-limited-edition-prints/11327_66cm_-019/
