THROUGH A DIFFERENT LENS: STANLEY KUBRICK PHOTOGRAPHS
2020-12-07During his five years at Look magazine, Kubrick learned to see life through a camera lens, he observed human interactions, developed stories through images and learned to work as a team. This experience helped him build his vision and proved particularly useful when he decided to embark on a career as a filmmaker.
After working on several documentaries without making a profit, Kubrick realised that if he wanted to make a career in film, he had to switch to fiction. He resigned from Look in 1950 and his first feature film, Fear and Desire was released three years later. Twelve iconic films followed, from Paths of Glory (1957) to Eyes Wide Shut (1999) his last feature film. He also directed Spartacus (1960), Lolita (1962), The Shining (1980) and Full Metal Jacket (1987).
