In 2019, the genius Jordan Peele gave us the masterpiece titled Us<\/em>. For those who haven\u2019t watched it, it is about a family coming into contact with their doppelgangers and being hunted by them. If you haven\u2019t watched this movie, I highly recommend it; my short synopsis is not doing it justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


So imagine my surprise when I saw this picture, which pulled me back to when I first experienced the film. This picture shows a happy barber probably enjoying his clients\u2019 company before his next appointment. But when I looked in the mirror, it seemed like the same person was reaching out to engage someone in conversation with a handshake. It looks like two separate people in their own worlds because of the camera angle, but it is just this one person present. In order to bring what I saw to life, using the rule of thirds, I used a simple crop to focus more on the reflection in the mirror. Now the story in the image has changed from a barber having fun with his old clients and switching to the same barber meeting someone for the first time and building new relationships with these clients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


I would like to hear from you about your thoughts! Share in the comments what ideas come to mind when looking at the image. Would you crop it a different way to tell another story? If so, share! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
