This photo of a young couple is from Kubrick’s photo series, “Life and Love on the New York City Subway” from 1947. His assignments ranged from teen couples to marital jealousy and unsuspecting subway portraits. “When Kubrick started out selling his photos, he sometimes staged them with his friends on subway platforms or in movie theatres,” says Corcoran. “Photographic assignments taught him to tell a story, or reveal a character, through photos.”
