Rachel Morrison is an American cinematographer and director who grew up in Cambridge, Massachusetts. She studied film and photography at NYU before earning her MFA from the AFI Conservatory in 2006. Her breakthrough came with Fruitvale Station (2013), shot on Super 16mm, followed by Mudbound (2017), which made her the first woman nominated for the Academy Award for Best Cinematography. She then shot Black Panther (2018), the first Marvel film photographed by a woman. Morrison has since moved into directing, with credits including episodes of The Mandalorian and The Morning Show and the feature film The Fire Inside (2024).
