  • NPG Glamour of the Gods Talk: Ruth Harriet Louise to Eve Arnold The
    NPG Glamour of the Gods Talk: Ruth Harriet Louise to Eve Arnold The story of Hollywood is fascinating. In 1905 Sunset Boulevard was just a dirt track road. Today it is a seventeen mile main road that runs through Los Angeles. By 1910 a community of film companies were emerging and by 1914 Adolph Zukor‘s Famous Players merged with the Lasky Company and it was not long before Paramount Pictures was created and a vertically controlled film industry evolved. Right from the beginning stars were an important ingredient to promote films. One of the earliest stars is Theda Bara who appeared in Cleopatra, Carmen and Salome but most of these films have vanished. However, the popularity of the comedians and in particular Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, Laurel and Hardy have survived. Their films are continuously screened worldwide in a variety of formats. The sex Goddesses also seem to hold up reasonably well and in particular Gloria Swanson and Pola Negri. The iconic face of Louise Brooks remains popular too. Stills were used to promote films in newspapers and magazines and used as art work for the poster design. Stills were also used to promote the film in campaign books and sales catalogues to entice exhibitors. One of the first stills men to arrive was Clarence Sinclair Bull who came to Hollywood in 1917. Another of the pioneers was Harry Waxman a successful New York photographer who set up a studio in Los Angeles and began to photograph many of the Hollywood stars including Gloria Swanson and Pola Negri. Waxman focused on the personality of the star as seen in Waxman’s 1926 portrait of Evelyn Brett.

  • • ASC Archival Photos
    ASC Archival Photos – All Captions Draft 8/31/2018 Affair in Trinidad - R. Hayworth (1952).jpg The film noir crime drama Affair in Trinidad (1952) — directed by Vincent Sherman and photographed by Joseph B. Walker, ASC — stars Rita Hayworth and Glenn Ford and was promoted as a re-teaming of the stars of the prior hit Gilda (1946). Considered a “comeback” effort following Hayworth’s difficult marriage to Prince Aly Khan, Trinidad was the star's first picture in four years and Columbia Pictures wanted one of their finest cinematographers to shoot it. Here, Walker (on right, wearing fedora) and his crew set a shot on Hayworth over Ford’s shoulder. Dick Tracy – W. Beatty (1990).jpg Directed by and starring Warren Beatty, Dick Tracy (1990) was a faithful ode to the timeless detective comic strip. To that end, Beatty and cinematographer Vittorio Storaro, ASC, AIC — seen here setting a shot during production — rendered the film almost entirely in reds, yellows and blues to replicate the look of the comic. Storaro earned an Oscar nomination for his efforts. The two filmmakers had previously collaborated on the period drama Reds and later on the political comedy Bullworth. Cries and Whispers - L. Ullman (1974).jpg Swedish cinematographer Sven Nykvist, ASC operates the camera while executing a dolly shot on actress Liv Ullman, capturing an iconic moment in Cries and Whispers (1974), directed by friend and frequent collaborator Ingmar Bergman. “Motion picture photography doesn't have to look absolutely realistic,” Nykvist told American Cinematographer. “It can be beautiful and realistic at the same time.
