Our Favorite Stanley Kubrick Photographs
Stanley Kubrick is notorious for being one of cinema's most iconic imagists. With an eye as sharp as Kubrick's, it should come as no surprise that he earned his foundation in photography. Employed by Look Magazine at only the age of 17, Kubrick quickly became known for his storytelling through his photographs. When viewing his images, it becomes very clear that Kubrick has a natural cinematic eye. Nearly all of his images are captivating, both in composition and subject matter. Some of the best amongst the bunch involve children and capture that sense of childlike wonder, the feeling that the world's in front of them and not in the rearview. Some of them even bring to mind certain compositions or concepts that later become apparent in his films. Below are our favorite Kubrick photos of all time.
