10 stunning 40s New York photos taken by Stanley Kubrick
Before Stanley Kubrick made some of the best films of his time, he was an ordinary teenager in New York and was looking for work. But even then, a 17-year-old man with a camera in his hands showed his brilliant talent.
We found a series of photographs taken by the great master from 1945 to 1950, when he worked in Look magazine. During this time, he understood a lot about the work of the photographer: "I believe that the aesthetic fixation of spontaneous action, and not careful setting of the scene, is the most effective and expressive use of the art of photography."
Kubrick quickly made a name for himself by telling stories with pictures that eventually led him to a moving image and to a place in the filmmakers ’hall of fame.
By the way, if you are also interested in street photography, then Stanley had good advice for you: “Come up with ideas for stories, go out and shoot them, and then send your work to magazines. I was lucky, I thought about it when I was young” .
