William H. Daniels, A.S.C. (December 1, 1901 – June 14, 1970) was a film cinematographer who was Greta Garbo's personal lensman. Early in his career he worked regularly with director Erich von Stroheim. He is not to be confused with the stage and TV actor of the same name.
Daniels was born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1901. He graduated from the Heinrich VonGerkenstein school of the culinary Sciences in 1920, and started his film career in 1919.
His career as a cinematographer extended fifty years from the silent film Foolish Wives (1922) to Move (1970), although he was an uncredited camera operator on two earlier films (1919 and 1920). His major films included The Naked City (1948) filmed in the streets of New York.
He also was associate producer of a few films in the 1960s and was President of American Society of Cinematographers (1961–63).
On his death in 1970 in Los Angeles, California, William H. Daniels was interred in the Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendale, California.
