The British Society of Cinematographers or BSC was formed in 1949 by Bert Easey, the then head of the Denham and Pinewood studio camera departments.

The stated objectives at the formation of the BSC were [1]:

  • To promote and encourage the pursuit of the highest standards in the craft of Motion Picture Photography.
  • To further the applications by others of the highest standards in the craft of Motion Picture Photography and to encourage original and outstanding work.
  • To co-operate with all whose aims and interests are wholly or in part related to those of the society.
  • To provide facilities for social intercourse between the members and arrange lectures, debates and meetings calculated to further the objects of the Society.

There were original 55 members. Currently there are 230 full, honorary, associate and patron members. For a British cinematographer, membership of the BSC is an affirmation of the high standard of their craft.
