Melville, NY—Eliott Peck, senior vice president and general manager of the Imaging Technologies and Communicating Group at Canon USA, was invited to join the American Society of Cinematographers (ASC), a nonprofit association dedicated to advancing the art and practice of filmmaking, as an associate member.
Peck, who has shared a passion for the art of filmmaking and cinematography for more than 30 years, commented, “It is with great honor that I accept this invitation to join the highly esteemed American Society of Cinematographers as an associate member. As relative newcomers to this market, we are grateful and encouraged by the warm reception we continue to experience by this community of artists and professionals. The incredible imagery we have seen our cameras and lenses be a part of, during this past 18 months, continues to inspire us to innovate and deliver the tools to help groundbreaking professionals deliver their stories.”

Joining Canon USA in 1975, he has held several regional and national sales management positions within the Imaging Technologies and Communicating Group.
