American cinematographer (1932–2011) who photographed Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home and received an Academy Award nomination for his work on the film.
Don Peterman, credited in full as Donald Peterman, was an American cinematographer whose films included Flashdance, Splash and Cocoon.
Leonard Nimoy chose him as director of photography for Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, released in 1986. Much of the film was shot on location in and around San Francisco and at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, which stood in for the fictional Cetacean Institute, giving it a brighter and more naturalistic look than the earlier films.
Peterman was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Cinematography for the film, one of four nominations it received. He later photographed Point Break and Men in Black.
