“We are the first camerawomen in Afghanistan – because we want!”
Mehria Aziz, Camerawoman (Kabul, Afghanistan)

“It's a line of work that must be done with passion--and it's a lifetime choice.”
Caroline Champetier, AFC (Paris, France).

“My best experience behind the camera happened in Iraq in 2002, when we went to Iraqi Kurdistan to work on the feature film "Exorcism"-- the first feature film made after their declaration of independence.”
Rosette Ghaderi,
Director of Photography (Tehran, Iran)

“I didn’t go into camera work because I wanted to be a camera technician.  It was because I have a strong, visual eye and I want to use it.”
Kristin Glover DP’ing and directing Ah Paris! (1987)

In memoriam,
Sandra Butler,
Videographer
(1943-2006)
and daughter Ola
“When my daughter was born, she needed open-heart surgery... When push came to shove, I had a daughter who was sick, and I needed a job with a health plan:  you have to join a union.   At Local 16, I was the first woman on the Executive Board.”

Margery Ordway, Union Crank-Turner, Morosco Studios (Hollywood - 1916)

“There were a few meetings of the Association of Austrian Cinematographers, and in discussions the word cameramen was always used.  One time I took  the opportunity to say loudly, ‘camerawomen... cameraWOMEN’  Later, my colleagues changed their vocabulary. Tthey started to use the expression, ‘people behind the camera.’"
Astrid Heubrandtner, AAC, Producer/Camerawoman (Vienna, Austria)

SrtaEhler

Adriana and Delores Ehlers were active as camerawomen and directors in Mexico, shooting and directing for their newsreel company, Revista Ehlers from 1922 to 1931.
