Stradling was born in Newark, New Jersey (some sources give Nesen, Germany[1], or England)[2], the nephew of cameraman Walter Stradling who had worked with Mary Pickford. Confined to two-reelers in Hollywood, he left for France and Germany in the early 1930s. He made contributions to several Jacques Feyder films, Le Grand Jeu (1934), La Kermesse héroïque (Carnival in Flanders) (1935), Die Klugen Frauen (1936) and Knight Without Armour (1937). In England, he made several films for Alexander Korda among others, including Action for Slander (1937), The Divorce of Lady X (1938), The Citadel (1938), Pygmalion (1938), The Lion Has Wings (1939) and Q Planes (1939).
Stradling moved to the United States at the beginning of World War II. Alfred Hitchcock engaged him for Jamaica Inn (1939), Mr. & Mrs. Smith (1941) and Suspicion (1941). Stradling's last four films starred Barbra Streisand.
During his career, he photographed Marlene Dietrich, Vivien Leigh, Katharine Hepburn, Audrey Hepburn, Jean Simmons, Esther Williams, Lucille Ball, Hedy Lamarr, Rosalind Russell, Kim Novak, and Judy Garland.
Stradling died halfway through production of The Owl and the Pussycat in Hollywood, California.
