The British Society of Cinematographers presents a collection of stills from behind the camera in the book "Outstanding Stills"

They say that every picture tells a story so there are quite literally hundreds of stories behind this stunning collection of stills from behind the camera.

This is a unique working history of the British Film Industry and, in particular, the British Society of Cinematographers formed in 1949 "to promote and encourage the highest standards possible in the art and craft of motion picture photography and the exchange of ideas and ideals."

The great stars and directors are here - Marilyn Monroe, Gregory Peck, Sir John Gielgud, Nicole Kidman, Catherine Deneuve, Laurence Olivier, Huston, Hitchcock, Cukor and many more - but the main focus is on the men and women who, as someone once said, "paint with light".

Outstanding Stills handily compiled in alphabetical order - from Remi Adefarasin BSC to Freddie Young BSC - finally puts faces to several generations of outstanding British cinematographic talent at work in studios and on exotic locations around the world across more than 70 years of film-making.

"It is obvious to say that they are artists with light and that we could not have great films without them, but I'm particularly delighted that this splendid book bears testament to that fact."

KENNETH BRANAGH

"Over the years, members of the BSC have garnered no less than twenty two American Academy Awards, thirty four Academy Nominations and twenty six British Academy Awards for outstanding photographic achievements."
