Origins
Its history goes back to the Cinema Camera Club in New York City founded by Phil Rosen, Frank Kugler, and Lewis W. Physioc and the Static Club in Los Angeles founded by Charles Rosher and Harry H. Harris. Both were created in 1913, and were united into a national organization when Rosher and Rosen moved to LA in 1918. The ASC was chartered in California in January 1919, and claims to be the "oldest continuously operating motion picture society in the world". The following year, the William S. Hart film Sand was released on June 27, bearing to Joe August the first cinematographer credit followed by the letters "ASC".

Publications 1920 also marked the beginning of American Cinematographer, a magazine still in print today. The magazine's camera-centric features about new releases, often peppered with extensive interviews with the film's camera crew, ensure that back-issues remain in high demand almost indefinitely among cinematographers seeking to discover how particular films' looks were achieved.

Along with the magazine, the most well-known publication of the society is the American Cinematographer Manual, sometimes referred to as "the Bible" among camerapeople. The first edition was brought out in 1935 by Jackson J. Rose as The American Cinematographer Hand Book and Reference Guide, and it evolved from the Cinematographic Annual only published twice, in 1930 and 1931.
