Harlan, Manuel

   A production photographer for BBC-TV, Film Four, the Royal Shakespeare Company, and numerous other film and stage companies, Manuel Harlan became the first unit stills photographer on a STANLEY KUBRICK production since 2001:A SPACE ODYSSEY when he came on board to photograph EYES WIDE SHUT. Harlan had previously spent 18 months working for Kubrick as video assist operator for FULL METAL JACKET, and later spent a year photographing possible locations for Eyes Wide Shut before the start of shooting. Harlan notes that “people forget Stanley was a photographer before he became a film director. He was the youngest staff photographer ever employed by Look magazine and the keen photographic eye that he developed then never deserted him. ”
