Freddie Young

Freddie Young OBE, BSC (9 October 1902 - 1 December 1998), (sometimes credited as Frederick A. Young) was one of Britain's most distinguished and influential cinematographers. He is probably best known for his work on David Lean's films Lawrence of Arabia (1962), Dr Zhivago (1965) and Ryan's Daughter (1970), all three of which won him Academy Awards for best cinematography.

He was also director of photography on more than 130 films, including many other notable productions, such as Goodbye, Mr Chips (1939), Forty-Ninth Parallel (1941), Lust for Life (1956), The Inn of the Sixth Happiness (1958), Lord Jim (1965), Battle of Britain (1969), Nicholas and Alexandra (1971), and the James Bond film You Only Live Twice (1967).
