Harry E. Squire was a cinematographer who filmed Frank Buck’s third movie, Fang and Claw, and later photographed This is Cinerama and other features in Cinerama.
Squire worked in the film studios of Thomas Edison in the Bronx and filmed some of Edison’s one reelers, as well as early sound films. Squire moved to Paramount Pictures and filmed some of the earliest documentary and newsreel films. Van Beuren Studios hired him to photograph Fang and Claw with Frank Buck.
