Life and career
[edit]Bartley was raised in Wellington, where he didn't get to watch television until his early teens, and even then only one channel was broadcasting in New Zealand.[1] In an interview he said that National Velvet and The Bridge on the River Kwai were two of his favorite films when he was young.[1]
In 1995, Bartley received his first Emmy Award nomination in the category "Outstanding Individual Achievement in Cinematography for a Series" for The X-Files episode "One Breath". He lost the award to Tim Suhrstedt for Chicago Hope. Bartley was nominated the following year for The X Files episode "Grotesque", in the same category, and won the award. Bartley was also nominated for an Emmy in the Outstanding Cinematography For A One Hour Series category for the Lost episode "The Constant."[2]
Bartley died on August 17, 2025, at the age of 78.[3]
