Desmond Dickinson débute comme chef opérateur sur deux films muets de Sinclair Hill, sortis en 1927. Jusqu'en 1975, il collabore à une centaine de films, majoritairement britanniques ; s'y ajoutent quelques coproductions et trois films américains (dont Les hommes épousent les brunes de Richard Sale en 1955, avec Jeanne Crain et Jane Russell).

Parmi ses autres films notables, citons Hamlet de (et avec) Laurence Olivier (1948, prix de la meilleure photographie à la Mostra de Venise 1948), L'Ombre d'un homme d'Anthony Asquith (1951, avec Michael Redgrave), Passage à tabac de George Pollock (1964, avec Margaret Rutherford personnifiant Miss Marple), ou encore Trog de Freddie Francis (1970, avec Joan Crawford et Michael Gough).
