Gale Tattersall (born 1948) is an English cinematographer.
Early life
[edit]Tattersall was born in England in 1948. He divided his childhood and education between Liverpool and the Indian city of Darjeeling, where he attended a boarding school due to his father's role an engineer at a steel company in Mumbai. At the age of 16, he left home in Liverpool and moved to London, where he started working as a photographer at the Architectural Association School of Architecture. A visit by American architect Buckminster Fuller in 1967 inspired Tattersall to pick up a Bolex camera to document the visit, and he became so enchanted by the filmmaking process that he enrolled at the London Film School for a two-year course.
Career
[edit]Upon graduation, Tattersall received a grant from the British Film Institute to make a short film called Value For Money, inspired by a dream and featuring a pre-fame Quentin Crisp. He has since been the cinematographer on films such as The Commitments and Tank Girl, as well as 120 episodes of the medical drama series House. He was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Cinematography for a Miniseries or a Movie for his work on Ron Howard's 1998 docudrama miniseries From the Earth to the Moon. He was twice nominated for the American Society of Cinematographers Award for Outstanding Achievement in Cinematography in Regular Series for the House episodes "House's Head" and "Meaning". He is the founder of the HDD SLR Workshops in Santa Monica, California.
Personal life
[edit]Tattersall has two sons, Rio and Sunny, with his Brazilian ex-wife Teresa.
