'''Conrad Lafcadio Hall''', {{small|[[American Society of Cinematographers|ASC]]}} (June 21, 1926 &ndash; January 4, 2003) was a [[French Polynesia]]n-born American [[cinematographer]].<ref name=nytimesobit>{{cite news |author1=Rick Lyman |author-link1= |title=Conrad Hall, Cinematographer Of 'Butch Cassidy,' Dies at 76 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2003/01/08/movies/conrad-hall-cinematographer-of-butch-cassidy-dies-at-76.html |url-access=subscription |access-date=August 2, 2021 |work=[[The New York Times]] |date=January 8, 2003 |page=A 21}}</ref> Named after writers [[Joseph Conrad]] and [[Lafcadio Hearn]], he became widely prominent as a cinematographer earning numerous accolades including three [[Academy Awards]] (with ten nominations), three [[BAFTA Awards]] and five [[American Society of Cinematographers|American Society of Cinematographers Awards]].

Hall won three [[Academy Award for Best Cinematography|Academy Awards for Best Cinematography]] for his work on ''[[Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid]]'' (1969), ''[[American Beauty (1999 film)|American Beauty]]'' (1999), and ''[[Road to Perdition]]'' (2002). He was also Oscar-nominated for  ''[[Morituri (1965 film)|Morituri]]'' (1965),  ''[[The Professionals (1966 film)|The Professionals]]'' (1966), ''[[In Cold Blood (film)|In Cold Blood]]'' (1967), ''[[The Day of the Locust (film)|The Day of the Locust]]'' (1975), ''[[Tequila Sunrise (film)|Tequila Sunrise]]'' (1988), ''[[Searching for Bobby Fischer]]'' (1993), and ''[[A Civil Action (film)|A Civil Action]]'' (1998). He is also known for ''[[Cool Hand Luke]]'' (1967), ''[[Fat City (film)|Fat City]]'' (1972), and ''[[Marathon Man (film)|Marathon Man]]'' (1976).

In 2003, Hall was judged to be one of history's ten most influential cinematographers in a survey of the members of the International Cinematographers Guild.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Top+10+Most+Influential+Cinematographers+Voted+on+by+Camera+Guild.-a0108995062 |title=Top 10 Most Influential Cinematographers Voted on by Camera Guild |date=August 16, 2003 |access-date=January 28, 2011 |archive-date=January 9, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140109110930/http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Top+10+Most+Influential+Cinematographers+Voted+on+by+Camera+Guild.-a0108995062 |url-status=dead }}</ref> He has been given a star on the [[Hollywood Walk of Fame]].

== Early life and education ==

Conrad L Hall was born on June 21, 1926, in [[Papeete]], [[Tahiti]], [[French Polynesia]]. His father was [[James Norman Hall]], an ace pilot and captain in the [[Lafayette Escadrille]] that fought for France in [[World War I]]. James also co-wrote the 1932 novel ''[[Mutiny on the Bounty (novel)|Mutiny on the Bounty.]]'' His mother was Sarah ("Lala") Winchester Hall, who was half Polynesian.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Hunter |first=Allen |year=2003 |title=Obituary Conrad L Hall |journal=Scotsman Publication |id={{ProQuest|327066352}} }}</ref> Growing up during the relative infancy of cinema, Hall never was around cameras, and the idea of going to the movies was a foreign concept. In his early-mid teens, Hall attended Cate School, a boarding preparatory school near Santa Barbara, California.

After graduating, Hall was told by his father to find his path in life. Hall attended the [[University of Southern California]], intending to study journalism, but ended up doing poorly and instead went to USC's School of Cinema-Television (now the [[USC School of Cinematic Arts]]). He wasn't sure this was the right decision, but that since this was a new art form it would be interesting to start from the bottom. Hall attended the School of Cinema at a time when [[Slavko Vorkapić]] was the head of the program; Hall later recalled that “He taught me that film-making was a new visual language. He taught the principles, and left the rest up to us”.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |title=A Lifetime of Achievement: Conrad Hall |last=Fisher |first=Bob |publisher=American Cinematographer |year=1994 }}</ref> After creating his first shots in school he fell in love with the art and wanted to continue telling his stories through imagery. A few people that visited the school during his education included [[John Huston]] and [[Orson Welles]]. After graduation in 1949, Hall expected to get a job right out of college. At the time, however, Hollywood only allowed the camera crew to be filled with people that were on the International Photographers Guild roster.<ref name=":0" />

==Career==
=== 1949–1966 ===
After graduation Hall collaborated with his classmates, Marvin R. Weinstein and [[Jack Couffer|Jack C. Couffer]], to create Canyon Films in 1949. In the beginning they made advertising commercials and documentaries and did pickup shots for features. In 1956 Canyon Films acquired a short film, ''My Brother Down There,'' which allowed Hall to enter into the cameraman position and become part of the International Photographers Guild. However, the Guild made Canyon Films hire an established Guild Cameraman for ''My Brother Down There'', denying Hall credit, even though he shot the entire film. Instead he was credited as the visual consultant, after [[United Artists]] released the film under the new title ''[[Running Target]]''.

Once ''Running Target'' was finished Canyon Films dissolved, and its members went off on their own paths.  Since Hall was part of the Guild, he was able to work as an assistant cameraman at the side of many influential cinematographers such as [[Hal Mohr|Hall Mohr]], [[Ernest Haller|Ernie Haller]], Burnie Guffey and [[Ted McCord (cinematographer)|Ted McCord]], who were all part of the ASC. Following a year of working as an assistant cameraman, he was awarded the chance to be the camera operator on the television series ''[[Stoney Burke (TV series)|Stoney Burke]]''. In 1963, he began filming another television series called ''[[The Outer Limits (1963 TV series)|The Outer Limits]]''. Then, in 1964, he shot his first feature-length black and white film, ''[[Wild Seed (film)|Wild Seed]]'', which was made in roughly 24 days with producer [[Albert S. Ruddy]].

Hall's breakthrough came with ''[[Morituri (1965 film)|Morituri]]'' in 1965, for which he received his first Oscar nomination.  In the following year Hall shot ''[[Incubus (1966 film)|Incubus]]'', ''[[The Professionals (1966 film)|The Professionals]],'' and ''[[Harper (film)|Harper]]'', which was his first color film. His first collaboration with director [[Richard Brooks]] on ''The Professionals'' was put in motion by assistant director Tom Shaw, who worked with Hall on ''Wild Seed'' and recommended him to Brooks; the work resulted in his second Oscar nomination.

=== 1967–1976 ===
Their second collaboration, 1967's ''[[In Cold Blood (film)|In Cold Blood]]'', resulted in yet another Oscar nomination.<ref name=":0" /> It is notable for the documentary feel and location shots, which were rare at the time. In that same year, Hall shot ''[[Cool Hand Luke]]'' and ''[[Divorce American Style]]''. ''Cool Hand Luke'' is known for being shot in Panavision, which contributed to its lush color palette.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Cinematography's Hall of Fame |last=Brodesser |first=Claude |id = {{ProQuest|236330589}}}}</ref>  In 1968, Hall filmed ''[[Hell in the Pacific]]'' for director [[John Boorman]], which was not a box-office success but has since become a cult classic.

In 1969, Hall received his first Oscar for ''[[Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid]]''. To make ''Butch Cassidy'' visually compatible with the time period, he used experimental techniques, such as overexposing the negatives in order to mute the primary colors when printing it back (Hunter, 2003). The result was considered an innovative success. He made two other films that year, ''[[The Happy Ending]]'' and ''[[Tell Them Willie Boy Is Here|Tell them Willie Boy is Here]].'' In 1972, Hall shot ''[[Fat City (film)|Fat City]],'' with director John Huston. ''Fat City'' was known for its grainy texture to reflect the harsh reality of the storyline.<ref name=":0" /> In 1973 he shot the police thriller ''[[Electra Glide in Blue]]'', followed by ''[[Smile (1975 film)|Smile]]'' and ''[[The Day of the Locust (film)|The Day of the Locust]]'' in 1975, the latter of which earned him his fifth Oscar nomination. In 1976 he shot ''[[Marathon Man (film)|Marathon Man]]'' with director [[John Schlesinger]] which was one of the first to use the [[Steadicam]] technique (although it was not the first to be released).

=== 1987–2002 ===
After shooting 18 films in 12 years, Hall took an 11-year break. Around the same time he teamed up with noted cinematographer [[Haskell Wexler]] to make a commercial production company (Vinson, 1987). This allowed him to not only be the cameraman on his own work, but also the director. The break for him was about understanding and learning from others about their unique techniques. As Hall stated: "At heart I am more than a cinematographer. I'm a filmmaker."<ref name=":0" /> This led to his exploration of writing, such as an adaptation of the novel ''[[If I Forget Thee, Jerusalem|The Wild Palms]]''.

Hall returned to the film industry in 1987 to shoot ''[[Black Widow (1987 film)|Black Widow]]''. In 1988, Hall became part of the union crew for ''[[Tequila Sunrise (film)|Tequila Sunrise]]'' after a few complications.<ref name=":1">{{Cite book |title=The International Dictionary of Films and Filmmakers 4 |last=Vinson |first=James |year=1987}}</ref> His work resulted in a sixth Oscar nomination. Also in 1988, the ASC gave Hall an outstanding achievement award. After his work on ''Tequila Sunrise,'' he picked up his old pace, making ''[[Class Action (film)|Class Action]]'' (1991), ''[[Jennifer 8]]'' (1992), ''[[Searching for Bobby Fischer]]'' (1993) and ''[[Love Affair (1994 film)|Love Affair]]'' (1994) one after the other. ''[[Searching for Bobby Fischer]]'' received an Oscar nomination for cinematography, his seventh.

In 1994, Hall was honored with the lifetime achievement award from the [[American Society of Cinematographers]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=A Lifetime of Achievement: Conrad Hall, ASC |url=https://theasc.com/articles/lifetime-of-achievement-conrad-hall-asc |access-date=2024-09-03 |website=The American Society of Cinematographers |language=en}}</ref> In 1998, he shot ''[[Without Limits]]'' and was Oscar nominated for ''[[A Civil Action (film)|A Civil Action]]'', followed by his second win for ''[[American Beauty (1999 film)|American Beauty]]'' in 1999. ''American Beauty'', his first collaboration with director [[Sam Mendes]], highlighted his "unique use of the hand-held camera to capture the film's heightened reality and almost dream-like atmosphere".<ref name=":2">{{Cite journal |last=Horn |first=John |year=2003 |title=Obituaries; Conrad Hall, 76; Cinematographer Won Oscars for 'Butch Cassidy' and 'Beauty' |journal=[[Los Angeles Times]] |id={{ProQuest|421756791}} }}</ref> His final film was ''[[Road to Perdition]]'' in 2002, a second collaboration with Mendes, for which he was [[Posthumous award|posthumously]] awarded another [[Academy Awards|Academy Award]]. In total, he won three Oscars throughout his 50-year career.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Ntim |first=Zac |date=2022-11-13 |title=Sam Mendes Pays Tribute To Conrad Hall & Roger Deakins At Camerimage Opening Ceremony: "Cinematographers Have Always Been My Guide" |url=https://deadline.com/2022/11/sam-mendes-pays-tribute-to-conrad-hall-roger-deakins-camerimage-1235170877/ |access-date=2024-09-03 |website=Deadline |language=en-US}}</ref><ref name=":3">{{Cite news |date=2003-02-18 |title=Posthumous award for film legend |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/2774621.stm |access-date=2024-09-03 |language=en-GB}}</ref>

==Personal life==
Hall married Virginia Schwartz in 1952. They had three children, [[Conrad W. Hall]], Kate Hall-Feist and Naia Hall-West, before they divorced in 1969.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/participant.jsp?spid=79446&apid=33871 |title=Biography for Conrad Hall |access-date=August 5, 2009 |work=[[Turner Classic Movies]]}}{{dead link|date=April 2025|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref> Hall met actress [[Katharine Ross]] on the set of ''[[Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid]]'' and became her third of five husbands in 1969.
