The American Society of Cinematographers is a mid-sized professional association founded in Hollywood in 1919 and based in Los Angeles, California. It focuses on advancing the art and science of cinematography and provides a forum for directors of photography to exchange ideas and discuss techniques, with the aim of promoting the motion picture as an art form. The organization operates as an educational, cultural, and professional body rather than a labor union or guild, with invitation-only membership extended to cinematographers who have demonstrated distinguished credits and good personal character. It publishes American Cinematographer, an international publication that disseminates industry knowledge. The ASC supports industry activities such as awards programs and initiatives for the next generation of cinematographers, including the Student Heritage Awards. In 2026, it announced leadership updates, including the election of a new president and additions to the board.
