The Film & TV Kameramann is the German-language specialist magazine with the highest circulation in the film and TV industry for media professionals who work in production and post-production.
history
Founded in Munich in 1951, Der Deutsche Kameramann was initially an association magazine of the Club Deutscher Kameraleute e. V. (CDK), which was founded on January 5, 1950 in Munich-Geiselgasteig. The first editor-in-chief was the cameraman GF Peters. In 1957, the magazine of film journalist Ingeborg was sold Weber, who as professionals and association magazine of CDK, Club German cine-camera operators, Club German film photographers weiterführte.1961 first published the Yearbook of the German cameraman , which in expanded form under the title Yearbook camera is published once a year. Editor-in-chief of the cameraman was Hans-Jürgen Weber from 1957 until his death in 1993. With the issue 5/1977 the name was changed to Film & TV Kameramann . I. Weber Verlag has been part of Ebner Verlag in Ulm since 1993. Evelyn Voigt-Müller has been editor-in-chief since that time - with an interruption from 2000 to 2003 when Arnd Peter Hartig was acting head of the magazine.
Topics and priorities
Twelve issues per year provide information on technical developments and products, artistic and creative aspects of image design, trade fairs and festivals, dates, personal details, legal questions, further training offers, competitions, investment decisions and developments in the media industry.

Basic knowledge on individual topics such as electricity on the set, copier technology, original sound on the set, RAW data, 3D production, digital lab, blow-up is conveyed in specials. In addition, technical collection sheets dealing with professional camera models and other technical topics are published annually as part of the booklet.
Student Camera Award
Since 1998, at the International Festival of the Munich Film Schools , the Film & TV Cameraman has given the Student Camera Award to young image designers.
Cooperation with festivals
Since 1998 there has been a media partnership with the German Camera Prize Cologne, which honors outstanding achievements in the field of camera work for film and television. Since 1990 stage and non-stage editing performances have also been awarded. Film & TV Kameramann undertakes journalistic support for the German Camera Prize.
Since it was founded in 1993, Film & TV Kameramann has supported and accompanied the Camerimage film festival in Łódź, Poland, at which primarily cameramen and women are awarded for their work. The competition films are invited to this festival because of their artistically demanding image design.
Resurgence
By replacing the entire editorial team at the end of 2015, the publisher reacted to conceptual and editorial weaknesses and also made relevant content digitally available on the website. There were Personas drawn up to help now to know users' needs more accurately and thus to optimize the content of magazine and website. In terms of data, the Google analysis software Searchmetrics has shown an increase in the search engine optimization visibility of kameramann.de since the restart. The cameraman tries to be a mouthpiece for the cameramen and implements appropriate topics.
