The British Society of Cinematographers (abbreviated B.S.C. or BSC) was formed in 1949 by Bert Easey (23 August 1901 – 28 February 1973), the then head of the Denham and Pinewood studio camera departments, to represent British cinematographers in the British film industry.

The stated objectives at the formation of the BSC were:
 * To promote and encourage the pursuit of the highest standards in the craft of Motion Picture Photography.
 * To further the applications by others of the highest standards in the craft of Motion Picture Photography and to encourage original and outstanding work.
 * To co-operate with all whose aims and interests are wholly or in part related to those of the society.
 * To provide facilities for social intercourse between the members and arrange lectures, debates and meetings calculated to further the objects of the Society.

There were originally 55 members. Currently, there are 256 full, honorary and associate members. For a British cinematographer, membership of the BSC is an affirmation of the high standard of their craft. The members of the British Society of Cinematographers are entitled to use BSC as postnominals in motion picture and television credits.
