Masters of Lens and Light offers filmographies for more than seven hundred American and world cinematographers from 1915 through 1990. These figures range from the renowned (Gregg Toland) to the productive if obscure (Ernest Miller). There are approximately thirty photos, as will as an extensive list of notable American and foreign films by cinematographers whose outputs were not large or significant enough to warrant separate entries.
