Charles studied photography in his youth but earned a reputation early as a Newsreel cameraman, before moving to the United States in 1909 . He subsequently found work for David Horsley working in his production company in New Jersey . Because early film was largely restricted to using daylight, David moved his production company in 1911 — taking Charles with him — to Hollywood (largely for the better weather) and opened the first movie studio there. This made Charles the first full-time Cameraman in Hollywood. In 1913 he went to Mexico to film newsreel footage of Pancho Villa 's Villa Rebellion . In 1918 , he was one of the founders of the American Society Of Cinematographers and served as the group's first Vice-President. He died of an accidental fall in 1974, in Lisbon , Portugal . AWARDS
In addition, he also received two Eastman Medal s (named for George Eastman ), '' Photoplay '' magazine's Gold Medal, and the only fellowship ever awarded by the Society Of Motion Picture Engineers . EXTERNAL LINKS |
