cinematographer (plural cinematographers)

  1. (cinematography) A photographer who oversees the operations of the cameras and lighting when making a film. The cinematographer may also double as the camera operator of the movie camera, though this is usually done by a cameraman. The film director may also double as the cinematographer, though this is usually a different person.
  2. (dated) One who exhibits motion pictures; a projectionist.
    • 1916, The American School Board Journal, volume 53, page 41:
      It is what the spectator sees, not reads, that leaves the lasting impression. The best plan is to have the cinematographer call in order to determine the details to be covered.
