Albert Carrick (b. **/**/1893 – d. **/**/1966) was a cinematographer. Also credited as A. Carrick and Bert Carrick.

== Biography ==

According to an article in the [[Cape Argus]], Albert Carrick was born in Scotland. In 1919 he married Winifred Candy and soon afterwards came out to South Africa. Subsequently he returned to England, came out again with his wife and in 1921 joined [[African Film Productions]] where he became a cinematographer. He was to remain with the company for all of his working life and was frequently listed as cameraman on the [[African Mirror]] newsreels. Thus he filmed the 1923 installation of Chief Sekgoma Khama as King of the Bangwato people in what was then Bechuanaland and covered numerous notable events on the homefront during World War II. He also contributed to many documentaries, including ''From Red Blanket to Civilisation'' (1925) and ''Durban, Lovers’ Paradise'' (1930), as well as [[Joseph Albrecht]]’s ''The Blue and Silver Way'' (1936) and [[After Sixty Years]] / ''Na Sestig Jaar'' (1946). On ''[[Die Bou van ‘n Nasie]]'' (1938) he is credited with “laboratory” and in 1964 the [[Cape Argus]] reported that he was still helping in the stores.
