About this person

Paul Ivano, ASC, was a Serbian-French-American cinematographer whose career stretched from 1920 into the late 1960s. Born Pavle Ivanišević to Serbian parents in Nice, France, where the name was transcribed/recorded as "Paul Ivano Ivanichévitch", he served for two years with the Franco-American Ambulance Corps and the American Red Cross Ambulance Corps from 1916 to 1918. After the conclusion of World War I, he remained in the Balkans, acting as a photographer and interpreter for the American Red Cross. He arrived in the United States in 1919, and moved to California, the following year. In 1947, he made cinematic history as the cameraman who captured the first-ever aerial helicopter shots for an American feature film in Nicholas Ray's film noir They Live by Night.
