Acclaimed cinematographer Douglas Slocombe, who worked on projects such as the Indiana Jones<\/em> films and the 1974 version of The Great Gatsby<\/em>, has passed away.<\/p>\n

British DP Slocombe began his career in film after gaining employment with Ealing Studios, London, in the 1940’s, following a productive career as a documentary photographer. During the 40’s and 50’s he worked on a large number of the studio’s comedies, including The Man In The White Suit<\/em> (1951), The Titfield Thunderbolt<\/em> (’53), and as one of three credited DP’s on gothic horror anthology film Dead Of Night<\/em>, in 1945.<\/p>\n

Following Ealing’s closure in 1955, Mr Slocombe continued to work productively in the UK film industry, amassing credits on such popular films as The Young Ones<\/em> (1961), The Italian Job<\/em> (1969), The Music Lovers<\/em> (1970), Jesus Christ Superstar<\/em> (1973) Rollerball<\/em> (1975), and Julia<\/em>, in 1977. In 1981, Mr Slocombe helped an up-and-coming director named Steven Spielberg lens his action\/adventure film called Raiders of The Lost Ark<\/em>, a partnership which lasted for two successful sequels in 1984 (Temple Of Doom<\/em>) and 1989 (The Last Crusade<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Douglas Slocombe was nominated for the Academy Award in Cinematography three times, for Raiders, Julia,<\/em> and 1972’s Travels With My Aunt<\/em>. He is a multiple BAFTA nominee and three\u00a0time winner, as well as multiple BSC winner for much of his early work.<\/p>\n

Douglas Slocombe’s final credit was for Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade<\/em>, and he passed away aged 103, on February 22nd.<\/p>\n
