John Wayne Bean ACS (12 June 1963 – 18 August 2011) was an Australian cinematographer who worked at the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) for over 20 years.
Bean was born in Rockhampton, Queensland, to Judy (née Suthers) and Colin, a carpenter. He had a younger sister, Tammy.[1] After graduating from Glenmore State High School, he initially studied graphic design at the Queensland College of Art in Brisbane, before he majored in film and television and earned a Diploma in Arts in 1983.[2][3]
In 1984, Bean started working at regional television station RTQ7 Rockhampton. He then moved to DDQ10 Toowoomba two years later.[3] From 1989 to 1994, he worked in the Canberra Press Gallery.[4]
In 1993, while working as a cameraman for Landline, Bean became friends with reporter Pip Courtney. They married on 28 January 1999.[5]
Bean shot "With This Ring", a 2003 episode of Australian Story.[6]
On 18 August 2011, Bean, television journalist Paul Lockyer and pilot Gary Ticehurst died in a helicopter crash while filming at Lake Eyre in South Australia.[7] In September, Bean was posthumously accredited by the Australian Cinematographers Society to use the ACS designation after his name.[8]
In May 2012, the ABC and Griffith University announced the establishment of the ABC John Bean Memorial Scholarship for Cinematography.[9] Bean had mentored students at Griffith Film School for four years.[2]
