In the succeeding years, Marc Huehn, then already reaching adulthood, met a man who owned a shop that featured old lithographs, Polaroid films, cameras, and moving pictures. Exposure to such sparked Huehn’s interest. By the time he reached twenty-five, Marc had saved enough to buy his first Polaroid camera and started taking images of common, day-to-day activities around his city.

Marc Huehn’s earliest work featured still photographs of destitute immigrants and prostitutes in New York. As his vision and artistry developed, he planned to travel in Europe to shoot in Germany, France and England. However, the economic conditions of his time forced him to stay in New York and shoot images that depict the individual suffering of New Yorkers instead.
