Joseph 'Joe' Rosenthal (1864-1946) was a British camera operator who specialised in filming wars and travel subjects. Conflicts he filmed include the Second Boer War and the Russo-Japanese War. Though preceded as a war filmmaker by some amateurs, film historian Stephen Bottomore has called him the first 'true professional' to film a war.[1]
