Freddie Young

Frederick A. Young (9 October 1902 – 1 December 1998) was an English cinematographer. Sometimes credited as F. A. Young, his career in motion picture photography spanned more than 130 films across nearly 70 years, between 1919 and 1984. He was best known for the sweeping, lush widescreen color photography he displayed through his collaborations with director David Lean. He won the Academy Award for Best Cinematography three times - for ''Lawrence of Arabia'' (1962), ''Doctor Zhivago'' (1965) and ''Ryan's Daughter'' (1970) - all directed by Lean.

In 1972, he was made a BAFTA Fellow by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts. In 2003, a survey conducted by the International Cinematographers Guild placed Young among the ten most influential cinematographers of all time. Provided by Wikipedia
