Ned Van Buren
Ned Van Buren (1882-1969) was an early American cinematographer who worked in Hollywood during the silent era. He was a member of the American Society of Cinematographers, having been elected in 1923. Biography As a young man, Ned began working as a photographer in his hometown of Gouverneur, New York. In 1912, he got his hands on a movie camera and started experimenting with shooting local scenes before gaining work as a cinematographer in the silent movie business; for a time, he was Pauline Frederick's chief cinematographer. He filmed many projects for Famous Players-Lasky, Edison, and Universal—likely many more than the 40 he is officially credited with. Eventually he left cinematography behind to work for Kodak in Hollywood.

American Society Of Cinematographers
The American Society of Cinematographers (ASC), founded in Hollywood in 1919, is a cultural, educational, and professional organization that is neither a labor union nor a guild. The society was organized to advance the science and art of cinematography and gather a wide range of cinematographers to discuss techniques and ideas and to advocate for motion pictures as a type of art form. Currently, the president of the ASC is Stephen Lighthill. Members use the post-nominal letters "ASC". On the 1920 film titled ''Sand'', cinematographer Joseph H. August, who was an original member of the ASC, became the first individual to have the "ASC" appear after his name on the onscreen credit. Only film cinematographers and special effect supervisors can become an ASC member. Basic requirements include being a director of photography for a minimum five out of the last eight years, having a high professional reputation and being recommended by three active or retired ASC members.
