Albert Oscar Segerberg (1881—13 July 1941) was an Australian cameraman. He began shooting films as early as 1896, and later worked as a cameraman for Pathé Frères, the Australian Photo-Play Company and the Fraser brothers. He shot large numbers of newsreels, and industrial and educational documentaries, including his own series, Australia at Work.[1]
Segerberg claimed to have taken the first moving pictures in Australia at the 1896 Melbourne Cup and shown it in the Opera House, Melbourne.[2]
