The Guardian Unlimited Obituaries in Film Costumes & Festivals Directory

Adrian Biddle, who has died of a heart attack aged 53, was one of the last of the old school of cinematographers and one of the first of the new. He was old school because his generation was the last to have come up entirely through the ranks; he understood every job and facet of the camera department, while lighting cameramen now often arrive at the post having bypassed the lower grades. He was one of the first of the new because he embraced all the technologies that burst forth in the 1980s, bypassing the old lighting techniques.
