Biography

Palmer was born in Kansas City, Missouri.

In 1941, Palmer won an Oscar for Best Cinematography (in collaboration with Ray Rennahan) for Blood and Sand.[1] Palmer was nominated on several other occasions—in 1928 for Four Devils, in 1929 for Street Angel, and in 1950 for Broken Arrow. He is sometimes confused with a British cinematographer of the same name (1901-1964) who worked on various UK films and television programmes until the early 1960s.

Palmer died in Pacific Palisades, California.
