It's taken months and months but Episode 20 of SHOW & TELL, is finally here and it's an epic, widescreen production on a man who is better known as a famous film director but who started out as a precocious, teenage magazine photographer - STANLEY KUBRICK.
Get ready to be amazed by the fascinating story of Kubrick's rapid rise and marvel as Stephen makes connections and comparisons with other photographers of the time who are either a.) Brilliant and groundbreaking in their insight and audacity or b.) Total and utter nonsense or a huge stretch at best.
Finally, prepare yourself for a jaw-dropping yet 100% true tale of Stephen's own (near) encounter with the great man himself. WARNING: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS QUITE A LOT OF SWEARING! IF YOU ARE EASILY OFFENDED.......TOUGH!
Please subscribe to the channel and Stephen will continue doing these films as he seeks to focus on photography content and not just which new or old camera to buy. And remember, there's still a 'No BOKEH TALK' promise. No bokeh talk. Ever.
For more of Stephen's photography please visit his website: www.stephenleslie.co.uk/ (where there is now a dedicated shop for his latest book, MOSTKLY FALSE REPORTS. or his Instagram: / step_hen_le. . He's also on Threads but he hasn't really got the time to do all that crap too, he just signed up to annoy Elon Musk.
Also feel free to contact Stephen if you'd like to buy zines, prints or sign up for his monthly street photography workshops in London.

So brillant and witty. We missed you very much. I learned so much on Kubrick and on photography in general. You are unique on you tube. It is a real pleasure watching you. Thank you

Thanks. I do have some more planned but they take a lot of my spare time to research & make and, at the moment , I don’t have any spare time.

Quite magnificent. From the knitwear, to the well-curated bookshelf, to the excellent author photography on the walls and shelves to the camera. Composed in thirds maybe. Brilliant. A maverick later rather than sooner. Like Kubrick himself. Excellent work Mr L, excellent work.

I thoroughly enjoyed this video and the skilful and complex way you compare Kubrick's photography with other photographers of the same era and the connections you make linking his early way of looking with the images we know so well from his movies.

Well worth waiting for episode 20 Stephen. Changing the subject to Mostly False Reports: I appreciate the idea of the story line for each image. I limited myself to one photo/ story per day. Great idea great book.

I knew nothing about Kubrick’s photography, and really enjoyed this. Thank you! Your passion for his work reallly came through. Also, loved the number of tangents you explored

Great episode Stephen. This is the most informative breakdown of Kubrick’s photography I have seen. Thanks for taking the time to put it together.

Thanks for making it so entertaining! Just spitting out sentences which may or may not be factual on screen is boring. You made it so much fun to watch such a big subject

Great documentary Stephen , it would be an injustice to call this merely a 'video' . Love Kubrick's films and photos . I have the large oversize Kubrick archives from Taschen , it's a beast , but thoroughly enjoyable and informative . Back in 2014 , I went to the brilliant 'Stanley Kubrick - An Exhibition' at TIFF Lightbox here in Toronto . Cheers, Dom.

Excellent! As a professional photographer I loved the concept of photography being a set of problems to solve. Your presentation is really good too, I'm subscribing.

What a “photo-feast” to watch your video today! I really enjoyed its long form.? Thanks!!! ❤ Speaking of Stanley as a photographer - I believe he adapted some of his photo camera lenses to movie cameras and he shot some scenes / films with photo lenses. Not sure if you mentioned that in the video…

@stephenlesliephoto 4 ай бұрын

No but only because that's yet another worm hole and there are quite a few videos in existence already about Kubrick's love of lenses. he used a NASA lens for the low light / candle lit shots in Barry Lyndon - I know that much!

Why do you think so many early photographers were Jewish? Gary mentioned this in an essay he wrote on street photography. He wrote that, "to be a street photographer, it's is best to first be Jewish."

@stephenlesliephoto 4 ай бұрын

There’s several reasons. First is historical, photographic technology developed alongside political change so you got large amounts of Jewish refugees and exiles coming to the US from Europe at the same time that photographic technology was becoming smaller and more accessible. Then there’s the fact that as outsiders, Jews (especially artistic ones) have a different perspective on the culture they are coming in to. They’re looking at it from another angle. But, yes, the sheer amount of great Jewish photographers is really remarkable.
