The American Society of Cinematographers (ASC) unveiled its Ninth Annual ASC Photo Gallery, showcasing an impressive collection of stills captured by nearly 50 of the Societyโs esteemed members, including renowned Oscar and Emmy recipients.
โThis exhibit has become one of the most anticipated events for our members each year,โ said ASC president Shelly Johnson. โFor many of us, our love for capturing images began with a still camera. Having the opportunity to revisit and showcase that art form is incredibly exciting for all of us. Itโs a chance to celebrate our roots and share our passion for photography.โ
The ASC debuted their 2024 collection at the historic ASC Clubhouse during an opening event sponsored by Nikon and Red Digital Cinema. Curated by Paris Chong, director of the Leica Gallery LA, with printing courtesy of Canon, the artwork will remain on display at the Clubhouse for a year, and can also be viewed online in the ASC Store. Individual prints and box sets are available for purchase, with proceeds benefiting the ASCโs Vision Committeeโs scholarship program for ASC Master Classes. This committee is dedicated to encouraging and supporting the advancement of underrepresented cinematographers, their crews, and other filmmakers.
โFor the past several years, this exhibit has shown the world another expression of our membersโ creativity,โ said ASC Photo Gallery chairperson Charlie Lieberman. โThis collection not only highlights their extraordinary talent but also their dedication to the craft. Itโs truly inspiring to see the diverse range of perspectives and styles represented in this collection.โ
