Ken Kelsch, the longtime cinematographer for Abel Ferrara, has died from COVID and pneumonia at the age of 76, his son, Chris, said on Facebook.

“If you knew him, you probably have a story about him. He really was a great man, loved by many. A war hero who filled every room with his presence. An artist who never stopped being himself,” Chris Kelsch wrote. “A caring father who would do anything for his kids and grandkids. Shared his experience, wisdom, and love with all. Our family will deeply miss him and always love him as im sure many of you will as well.”
