略歴

1902年(明治38年)9月27日、東京府東京市(現在の東京都)に生まれる[2]。 旧制・青山学院中等部(現在の青山学院高等部)を卒業し、満19歳となる1924年(大正13年)、松竹蒲田撮影所に入社する。1927年(昭和2年)、撮影技師に昇進、斎藤寅次郎監督の『魔道』の撮影技師を先輩の野村昊と共同で務めて、技師としてデビューする。 「明るい軟調のトーン」のコントラスト設定をする技師として知られ[3]、水谷文次郎、三浦光雄ら当時の蒲田の技師たちとともに、モダンな「蒲田調」の画調を生み出したとされる。1930年(昭和5年)から1931年(昭和6年)までの一時期、監督の豊田四郎と行動をともにし、帝国キネマ演芸に移籍しているが、やがて蒲田に戻っている。蒲田時代の代表作は、『恋の花咲く 伊豆の踊子』(1933年)、『人生のお荷物』(1935年)等、監督の五所平之助と組んだ作品である。1936年(昭和11年)には、撮影所の大船移転により松竹大船撮影所に異動した。 1937年(昭和12年)、蒲田撮影所出身の重宗務が2年前に設立した東京発声映画製作所が撮影所(のちの東宝映画第三撮影所および新東宝第二撮影所、現在のオークラランド)を新設、小原は同社に移籍する。入社第1作は、先に入社していたやはり蒲田出身の小倉金弥と共同で撮影技師を務めた、重宗務、豊田四郎、阿部豊共同監督による『十字砲火』で、同年12月31日、東宝映画の配給により公開された。1941年(昭和16年)、同社が東宝映画と合併し、小原は東宝映画に移籍となる。 第二次世界大戦後の1947年(昭和22年)、新東宝映画(のちの新東宝)の設立に参加、同年、阿部豊監督の『愛よ星と共に』を撮る。1950年(昭和25年)には、同社で小津安二郎監督の『宗方姉妹』、つづいて溝口健二監督の『雪夫人絵図』のカメラを回した。 1951年(昭和26年)11月17日、子息の礼が生まれる[7]。のちに礼も、小原同様に青山学院に進学する。 1954年(昭和29年)には、日活で五所平之助監督作『愛と死の谷間』、および新東宝で同監督の『鶏はふたゝび鳴く』両作の撮影技師を務め、同年の第9回毎日映画コンクールで撮影賞を受賞した。 1958年(昭和33年)、大映東京撮影所に移籍、1968年(昭和43年)、島耕二監督の『怪談おとし穴』を最後に引退した。

花婿の寝言
Director of Photography
This pair of gentle yet witty and inventive comedies from the director of The Neighbour's Wife and Mine typify both the formal experimentation of early Japanese sound cinema and the social milieux that Shochiku tended to depict. 'Virtually plotless, and feeling more like comic sketches than fully developed stories,' writes Arthur Nolletti, Jr, 'these light comedies, or farces, take a wholly trivial matter (often a socially embarrassing situation) and use it as a springboard for a succession of gags.' Much of the films' distinction comes from the wit of Gosho's direction, the imaginative use of the new sound technology and the charm of the acting, particularly of the heroines (Kinuyo Tanaka in Bride; Hiroko Kawasaki in Groom). Yet in both films, Gosho finds room for some shrewd observation of character and environment, subtly exploring the values and assumptions of the suburban petit bourgeoisie.
