Lejaren A. Hiller Sr.(1880 - 1969) was a remarkable photographer known particularly for theatrically staged tableaus. Lejaren A. Hiller Sr. was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and studied photography in various locations before embarking on his long photographic career. Often Lejaren would spend all of his effort arranging the set and actors in his tableau, with an assistant actually making the final negative. Thusly, Lejaren is often construed as more of a "director" than "photographer."

Lejaren A. Hiller Sr. is often remembered for his famous quote about photographic technique:
