If those two photographs are the same to you, you lack perception. One is a casual "Hey!", albeit shirtless in the gym. The other is quite intentionally posed.

If those two photographs are the same to you, you lack perception. One is a casual "Hey!", albeit shirtless in the gym. The other is quite intentionally posed. One is in scruffy gym shorts; the other a near-naked Speedo. They are not the same. And having the intellectual ability to dissect what a trained genius like Kubrick can do quickly is not a liability. You also dismiss the literal decades of study that Kubrick undertook to "not labor" over the composition of his shots (which, in fact, he labored fastidiously). Are you buying into the myth of the talented artist, wholly untrained but a natural genius? They don't exist.
