OccupationCinematographer

John Laurence Wilcox, BSC (7 May 1913 – 31 May 1979) was a British cinematographer.[1][2] He frequently worked with director Freddie Francis and photographed many popular British films, including Carve Her Name with Pride, Summer Holiday and Dr. Who and the Daleks.[3][4][5][1][6]

The nephew of the director and producer Herbert Wilcox, he began his film career in 1930 as an often uncredited second camera assistant to Freddie Young.[7][8] His involvement as a cameraman included work on The Third Man and Outcast of the Islands,[1][9] and made his debut as chief camera operator in 1951 with Mr. Denning Drives North.[1]
