Before becoming the critically acclaimed filmmaker responsible for
such iconic films as Dr. Strangelove and The Shining, Stanley
Kubrick spent five years as a photographer for Look magazine. The
Bronx native joined the staff in 1945, when he was only 17 years
old, and shot humanist slice-of-life features that celebrate and
expose New York City and its inhabitants.Through a Different Lens
reveals the keen and evocative vision of a burgeoning creative
genius in a range of feature stories and images, from everyday folk
at the laundromat to a day in the life of a debutant, from a trip
to the circus to Columbia University. It features around 300
images, many previously unseen, as well as rare Look magazine tear
sheets and an introduction by noted photography critic Lucy
Sante.These still photographs attest to Kubrick’s innate talent
for compelling storytelling, and serve as clear indicators of how
this genius would soon transition to making some of the greatest
movies of all time.
