Unit still photographer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A unit still photographer, or simply a still photographer creates film stills and still photographic images specifically for use in the marketing industry and for the publicity of feature films in the motion picture industry and network television productions.[1][2][3] In addition to creating photographs for the promotion of a film, the still photographer contributes daily to the filming process by creating set stills (or plate shots). With these, the photographer is careful to record all details of the cast wardrobe, set appearance and background.
