Wolfgang Suschitzky (1912–2016) was an Austrian-born British photographer and cinematographer whose career spanned more than seven decades. Trained in Vienna and influenced by the documentary traditions of interwar European photography, he settled in London in the 1930s after leaving Austria. Alongside his photographic practice, Suschitzky worked extensively in British film and became widely respected for his cinematography, most notably on Get Carter (1971). His photographic work documented everyday urban life, industry, architecture, and social change in Britain and Europe, and is characterised by a direct, humanistic approach and strong compositional clarity.
