Long before his days as a Hollywood icon he was displaying great skills behind the lens and in 1945, at the age of 17, he became the youngest staff photographer in Look magazine’s history.
Now fine art prints of Kubrick’s work as a photo-journalist in New York are going on sale.
Curators at the Museum of the City of New York and art advisers at VandM checked more than 10,000 negatives of Kubrick’s photos to choose 25 for the sale on VandM.
Some of the images are posed, others were shot as he walked around the city, capturing the heart of the Big Apple.
The images include a shot of a young woman walking down a steep set of stairs while carrying a pile of books, a picture that was used on the cover of Kubrick’s book Drama & Shadows.
His subjects are a widwe range of characters, young and old, rich and poor.
They include Dwight Eisenhower when he was Columbia University’s president before becoming President of the United States, boxer Walter Cartier in the corner between rounds and Broadway actress Betsy Von Furstenberg studying her lines.
Kubrick stayed with the magazine five years, eventually leaving in 1950 to concentrate om filmmaking.
