Janusz Zygmunt Kamiński (Polish: [ˌjanuʂ kaˈmiɲskʲi]; born June 27, 1959) is a Polish cinematographer and director.

He established a partnership with Steven Spielberg, working as a cinematographer of all of his films since 1993, winning one Academy Award for Best Cinematography for his work on his holocaust drama Schindler's List, and another one for the World War II epic Saving Private Ryan.

Aside from a total of seven Academy Award nominations, he has also received five nominations from the BAFTA Awards, and six from the American Society of Cinematographers.

In addition to his collaborations with Spielberg, he has also worked with Cameron Crowe, James L. Brooks, Julian Schnabel and John Krasinski.

Kamiński has also worked in the field of directing, first with the horror film Lost Souls (2000), and the NBC series The Event (2011) and WE TV series The Divide (2014).

In 2019, the American Society of Cinematographers included Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan, both shot by Kamiński, on the list of the best-photographed films of the 20th century.

Kamiński was born in Ziębice, Poland, the son of mother, Jadwiga Celner, and father, Marian Kamiński.

In 1981, he emigrated to the United States at the age of 21 after Prime Minister Jaruzelski imposed martial law.[citation needed]
