Louis Aimé Augustin Leprince (consistently written as "Louis Aimé Augustin Le Prince" by himself on official papers, commonly known as "Augustin Le Prince" by contemporaries, "Gus" for Anglo-Saxon relations, historically known as "louis le prince" (French: [lwi lə pʁɛ̃s])); (28 August 1841 – vanished 16 September 1890) was a French artist and the inventor of an early motion picture camera, the first person to shoot a moving picture sequence using a single lens camera and a strip of (paper) film. Although some have credited him as the "Father of Cinematography", his work did not influence the commercial development of cinema—owing at least in part to the great secrecy surrounding it.
A Frenchman who also worked in the United Kingdom and the United States, Le Prince's motion-picture experiments culminated in 1888 in the city of Leeds, England.
