''When he was just 16 and in high school, Kubrick shot a photograph of a news vendor the day after President Franklin D. Roosevelt died and submitted it to Look magazine. Look printed the photo and soon hired him as a freelance photographer.'' (Source: Official Warner Brothers biography.)
The formal visual style and meticulous attention to detail in the films of the director might be the result of his techniques in photography and of his “photographer’s eye.”
