Film still from the 1938 film Bringing Up Baby featuring Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant
A unit still photographer (or simply still photographer) creates still photos specifically for use in publicity and marketing of feature films and television productions.[1][2][3] In addition to creating photographs for the promotion of a film, the still photographer contributes daily to the filming process by creating set stills (or plate shots). With these, the photographer is careful to record all details of the cast wardrobe, set appearance and background.
Cornel Lucas, a pioneer of film portraiture in the 1940s and 1950s, was the first still photographer to be awarded a BAFTA in 1998, for work with the British Film Industry.[4][5]
