Michael Harvey

Michael Harvey was until 2013 Curator of Cinematography at the National Media Museum where he curated major exhibitions on film, photography and animation and was responsible for the Cinematography collection which contains the surviving Le Prince cameras and copies of the paper prints of the Le Prince film fragments that he arranged to be animated. In 2012, his work on researching and realising the first colour moving images (dating from 1901-2) from the original negatives by Edward Raymond Turner in the National Media Museum collection attracted worldwide media attention.
