Prolific American cinematographer who worked with many Hollywood filmmakers and shot a number of the early films of directors such as John M.

-When he came to South Africa to shoot [[The Rose of Rhodesia]] (1918) and possibly [[Thoroughbreds All]] (1918) for [[Harold M. Shaw]], it was reported that Palmer had “photographed all the principal pictures that Mr. Shaw has made, both in American and England”.  Though this is difficult to verify, it seems that he definitely shot Shaw’s ''England’s Menace'' (1914).  Like Shaw, he had worked for the Independent Moving Pictures Company of America and like him, later joined the London Film Company.  There is certainly no evidence that Palmer had been approached by [[African Film Productions]], so it is very likely that he came to South Africa at Shaw’s invitation.  He left South Africa in December 1917, before the films had been edited, to return to the United States after an absence of several years.   Upon his arrival there it was stated that he was representing [[Harold Shaw Film Productions]].
