## Biography

Wolfgang Suschitzky (29 August 1912 – 7 October 2016) was an Austrian-born British cinematographer and photographer. Born in Vienna, he moved to England in 1935 and began working as a cameraman for documentary filmmaker Paul Rotha, with whom he maintained a long collaboration on films including *World of Plenty* (1943) and *No Resting Place* (1951).

He later shot features such as *The Small World of Sammy Lee* (1963), *Ulysses* (1967), *Entertaining Mr Sloane* (1970) and *Theatre of Blood* (1973).
