UNITING CINEMATOGRAPHERS AROUND THE WORLD

WELCOME TO BRITISH CINEMATOGRAPHER

British Cinematographer is Europe's No.1 magazine covering the art and craft of international cinematography.

Since our launch in 2002, British Cinematographer’s goal has remained unchanged: to celebrate the work of cinematographers – these creative artists who collaborate with directors and play the pivotal role of bringing their visions and their scripts to life as moving images.

Our bi-monthly magazine has evolved into the essential read for cinematographers and all those associated with the art of cinematography. Available in both print and digital formats, we showcase the incredible productions of these talented, image-making artists, enquire why they make their creative and technical choices before we discover how they put their ideas into action.

More often than not – and to our great delight – British cinematographers continue to make their fair share of the best moving pictures you will ever see. But our focus has expanded to encompass the talents of the greatest cinematographers worldwide – whether they are working on small-budget independents or the largest Hollywood blockbusters, shooting on celluloid or digital.
