A subject seen from all angles simultaneously time, perspective, and form fractured into one image. Brief the creative team on Picasso's 1910–1914 analytic cubism period specifically the palette (ochre, grey, black) and the approach to fragmenting form are precise references, not vague inspiration

Capture: Triptych portrait of the same subject from three angles (front, three-quarter, profile) to be combined in post; Close portrait with a mirror or prism in frame, creating multiple viewpoints within a single image; Abstract architectural detail where receding planes create a natural geometry of overlapping forms; Studio shot using glass panels or cut acrylic to fragment and multiply the subject; Long exposure of subject rotating in place, the rotation captured as layered exposure.
What lighting works for Cubism photography?+
Multiple hard light sources at competing angles to create strong geometric shadows that subdivide the subject's form unlike most photography, conflicting light here is the goal
