Named by Kodak as among the "100 Top Cinematographers in the World," Roy H. Wagner has produced some of the most striking and unique photography on American film and TV screens of the past forty years. Mentored by legendary cinematographers of Hollywood's Golden Age, Wagner has brought both a studio craftsman ethic and maverick artistic sensibility to his work that includes A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, Beauty and the Beast, Quantum Leap and House.
Together with co-author Wayne Byrne, Wagner takes the reader on a candid journey from his small-town roots in the Midwest to the soundstages of Hollywood and into his professional collaborations with industry figures such as John Badham, Richard Franklin, Seymour Friedman, Bill Froehlich, Peter O'Fallon, William Fraker, Diane Keaton, Dennis Maguire, Harry Stradling, Patrick Swayze, Kevin Tenney and many others.
