For my recreation, I wanted to do a film still. I chose Taxi Driver after I saw this image in a book, and I figured that my roommate would love to pose for this. I changed a few elements, some ahead of time, others while shooting. I even photoshopped the mirror into the background, but that was only because it sat a bit too low while shooting. During the shooting process, my roommate kept complaining about how awkward he felt holding the gun that way, and for having that particular eye closed. I just had him scrap it and hold it how he felt was more appropiate. It is still a bit weird for him since he was left handed, but it seems more natural to let him pose this way. I wish I would have had more light coming in from the front window (which was on his right) since I couldn't get a lamp to look natural enough.
