The book includes turn-of-the-century crime scenes, nineteenth-century asylum inmate portraits with calligraphic annotations detailing the patient's diagnoses, nineteenth-century medical photographs, and a selection of images from the Kinsey Institute for Sex Research.

„Wäre Stanley Kubrick nicht zu einem der bedeutensten Filmregisseure des 20 Jahrhunderts geworden, wäre er mit Sicherheit einer der berühmtesten Fotografen. Kubricks Fotografien wurden vor mehr als 50 Jahren in "Look" veröffentlicht. In der Zusammenschau werden die Bilder zu Geschichten, beinahe schon zu kurzen Filmen. Ob auf der Straße fotografiert, ob Teil einer Reportage, ob zufälliger Schnappschuss oder arrangiertes Porträt - alle Aufnahmen verdichten sich bei Kubrick zu möglichen Filmbildern. Bei vielen Aufnahmen meint man die Szene davor oder danach ahnen zu können, manche scheinen entstehende Dramen geradezu anzukündigen usw. "Drama & Schatten" zeigt auf jeder Seite, dass es von einem großen Künstler stammt.“ (Lindemanns Buchh., Stuttgart 01.2006). - Nur Kurztitelaufnahme 01.2006
