From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A movie still photographer is a person who photographs the movie's action (often alongside the camera) to be used in publicizing it. They provide the illustrations for posters, Web sites, photos in newspapers and magazines, and other media. A stills photographer uses a "Sound Blimp" to silence the noise of the SLR's shutter so that they can shoot while the moving camers are rolling.
