Henry de Siena is credited as the cameraman for several stories in British Paramount News bewteen 1946 and 1953. His first credit is ‘TUGS STRIKE PARALYSES NEW YORK’ in British Paramount News No.1563 of February 1946. Others followed, such as ‘WATER SKI-ING IN FLORIDA’ in British Paramount News No.1715 of August 1947, and ‘EISENHOWER TAKES OATH AS PRESIDENT’ in British Paramount News No.2286 of January 1953. His last credit is ‘SEVEN CZECHS ESCAPE TO US IN NOVEL WAY’ in British Paramount News No.2380 of December 1953. As all of these stories were shot in the USA, it is likely that de Siena was a staff cameraman for Paramount in the USA.
