The mission of ICG Magazine is to create a greater

awareness of the art and craft of cinematography

for film and digital productions. The technical and

artistic expertise of the members of the International

else in the world, having garnered Oscars, Emmys, and

numerous other prestigious awards for their inspiring

talents. For more than eight decades ICG Magazine has

anticipated entertainment and media trends, providing our

broad readership with the type of cutting edge content

that’s made ICG an industry leader. We at ICG pride

ourselves on content, art, and advertising that showcases

the most up-to-date tools and technologies in areas like

feature film production, digital media, cable and network

television, commercials, documentaries, music videos, web

content and so much more. Who reads ICG? Directors,

studio/broadcast executives, producers, gaffers, grips,

actors, screenwriters, film students, and of course the

members of the International Cinematographers Guild: in

short, virtually anyone with a vested interest in where the

entertainment industry is going and where it has been.
