Claude Friese-Greene

British cinematographer (1898–1943)

Claude Friese-Greene was a British-born cinema technician, filmmaker, and cinematographer, the son of William Friese-Greene. He shot over 60 films, mostly for other filmmakers, after making a few of his own in the 1920s. He developed his own colour processing technology, which he marketed through his company Spectrum Films, and was one of the first to shoot in Technicolor in Britain. He became more well-known in 2006, after his 1926 collection of films entitled The Open Road was screened on BBC Television.
