What's Happening?
A collection of never-before-seen photographs taken by renowned filmmaker Stanley Kubrick is set to debut at the Photography Show in New York. These images, captured when Kubrick was just 17 years old, will be showcased by the Duncan Miller Gallery. The photographs,
taken during Kubrick's tenure at Look magazine, primarily feature scenes from the New York subway system. The exhibition will run from April 22 to April 26 at the Park Avenue Armory. Kubrick, known for his meticulous attention to detail in filmmaking, applied the same precision to his photography, often capturing candid moments without his subjects' awareness.
