“JFK had as captivating a public image as any modern American president, and, more than anyone, it was photographer Jacques Lowe—a twenty-something immigrant and Holocaust survivor—who captured it. “Capturing Kennedy” tells the story not only of how Lowe’s photographs helped to create JFK’s Camelot glow, but the extraordinary story of the man behind the lens of the camera, as well.”
— Mark K. Updegrove, author of “Incomparable Grace: JFK in the Presidency”
About The Film.
Capturing Kennedy shares the extraordinary untold story of Jacques Lowe, a Holocaust survivor and young immigrant who, at just 28, became the personal photographer to President John F. Kennedy. Drawing on newly uncovered historic interviews and unprecedented access to Lowe’s personal estate and archives, this documentary chronicles his remarkable journey from surviving the horrors of World War II to capturing some of the most iconic photographs of the Kennedy era. Through Lowe’s unique lens, Capturing Kennedy sheds light on one of the last untold chapters of the Kennedy Presidency and the young photographer whose images shaped it.
