Rear Window Shoot

Rear Window Shoot captures a singular moment in New York City during the mid-1950s, where Slim Aarons photographed the rear facade of a building and its garden courtyard at Alfred Hitchcock's request. Commissioned to help construct sets for the classic film 'Rear Window,' this image documents the actual homes of Life magazine writers, their backyards creating an intimate portrait of mid-century Manhattan life. The photograph reveals fire escapes, windows, and cultivated gardens, each detail contributing to the voyeuristic intrigue that Hitchcock would immortalize on screen.

Each viewing reveals new details in the architectural elements and garden spaces that inspired one of cinema's most celebrated directors.
