From Wikipedia
Arthur Edeson, A.S.C. (October 24, 1891 – February 14, 1970)
was a film cinematographer, born in New York City.
He was nominated for three Academy Awards in his career in
cinema.
Edeson began his career as a still photographer, but turned
to movies in 1911 as a camera operator at the American Éclair Studio in Fort
Lee, New Jersey when it and many other early film studios in America's first
motion picture industry were based there at the beginning of the 20th century.
When the Éclair Studio was reorganized as the World Film
Company, he was promoted to chief cinematographer assigned to the star Clara
Kimball Young. Throughout the twenties, Edeson photographed a number of
important films, including Douglas Fairbanks' Robin Hood (1922) and The Thief
of Bagdad (1924), and the ground breaking special effects film The Lost World
(1925).
When sound came in, Edeson experimented with camouflaging
the microphones in exterior shots. In Old Arizona (1929), the first sound film
to be shot outside a studio, provided evidence to Hollywood executives that
talking pictures need not be confined to the sound stage. The western was also
the first film to be made in the 70mm widescreen process, known as "Fox
Grandeur".
In the early thirties, perhaps his most memorable creative
partnership was formed with director James Whale, for whom he photographed the
first three of Whale's quartet of horror films: Frankenstein (1931), The Old
Dark House (1932), and The Invisible Man (1933).
His principal work was on the side of realism, which is
considered by most film historians to represent the "zenith of Hollywood
photography." Edeson built on the influence of German Expressionism,
brought to the America cinema by German cinematographers during the 1920s.
In 1919, Edeson was one of the founders of the American
Society of Cinematographers.
