This volume traces the development of the art and craft of the cinematographer in Britain from the first cameramen with their hand-cranked box cameras to the electronic sophistication of the present. Key topics examined include the coming of sound, the impact and uses of colour and the widescreen revolution. The book features over 50 in-depth career profiles of major British cinematographers, many of whom have been personally interviewed by the author, with accompanying filmographies.
