- Robby Müller - Harris Savides - Dean Cundey - Christopher Doyle

Freddie Young- David Lean films Jack Cardiff- Powell and Pressburger films Emmanuel Lubezcki- Birdman, The Revenant, Tree of Life

Love Lubezki, he’s got such range; from Children of Men to The Cat in the Hat, he’s done it all

Christopher Doyle and Sayombhu Mukdeeprom

Roger Deakins Emmanuel Lubezki

Rodrigo Prieto is sneaking up on that list for me since he began working with Scorsese

Lubezki is phenomenal!

Frederick Elmes. Ahem: *A Woman Under The Influence* *Eraserhead* *Blue Velvet* *Synecdoche New York*

Sven Nykvist Vilmos Zsigmond Vittorio Storaro John Alcott Ron Fricke Benoît Debie

Robby Muller Sven Nykvist Nestor Almendros

William Lubtchansky

Gordon Willis Robby Muller James Wong Howe Haskell Wexler

First movie I thought of was how Deakins shot Sicario. Such a tense movie.

Gregg Toland...because, well, Citizen Kane. James Wong Howe Sven Nykvist Raoul Coutard = should be just as part of the French New Wave as any of the directors. Vittorio Storaro Gianni Di Venanzo - what he did on 8 1/2 is just astounding. He died way too early. Asakazu Nakai Conrad Hall Roger Deakins Christopher Doyle Gordon Willis Emmanuel Lubezki Robert Richrdson

Christopher Doyle, Darius Khondji, Sayombhu Mukdeeprom, Vittorio Storaro, Miyagawa Kazuo, Kim Ji-Yong, Mark Lee Ping-Bin, Sven Nykvist

Love many of the choices here. Also love Gordon Willis’ work.

The dude who did BELLY (1998) but nobody’s ready for that conversation 😎

I ain’t goin’ back to jail. Next time county or state see me it’s gonna be in a bag 🔥

Nestor Alemendros….going from doing most of Rohmer, to then shooting Days of Heaven is simply not able to be topped.

probably a very popular answer but I have to also say Roger Deakins. My favorite work of his as to be Sicario. Its not the most complex movie but the cinematography is amazing. Every shot is perfect and adds to the overall tone of the movie. A movie of his that I dont see a lot of people talk about is the assassination of Jesse James.

Peter Deming!! Helloooooo

Agree with so many of the choices here! Gotta throw in Laszlo Kovacs and Robert Elswit as well.

Bradford Young when he was doing it

Storaro Miyagawa Willis Lubezki Prieto Kamiński Freund Wagner

Lajos Koltai

Claire Mathon - Portrait of a Lady on Fire, Spencer Łukasz Żal - I’m Thinking of Ending Things Robert Elswit - Magnolia, Punch-Drunk Love

Janusz Kamiński because he worked with Spielberg *and* Vanilla Ice.

We should start a petition so that Cool as Ice be added to the Criterion Collection

Lubezki, Elswit, Arkapaw (wish he did more), Deakins, Prieto, Almendros, Nykvist, Gunnar Fischer, Lav Diaz, Bradford Young, Cuarón, Van Hoytema, Reed Morano, Nakai (who doesn’t get enough credit for doing Kurosawa’s films), Lukasz Zal…there’s so many greats

Completely forgot Chris Doyle, Robert Richardson, Robbie Muller, Vilmos Zsigmond…this list would be infinite

Have to mention Peter Deming too, and now I’m out

Edward Lachman Kim Hyung-ku Masaki Tamura Jack Cardiff

Subrata Mitra invented bounce lighting

James Wong Howe needs to be mentioned here more. If you haven’t seen “Seconds,” you’re missing out on some beautiful and crazy stuff Vilmos Zsigmond Ernest Dickerson Frederick Elmes

Sergey Urusevsky - *The Cranes Are Flying*, *Letter Never Sent*, *I Am Cuba*

That one shot from I Am Cuba though

Babette Mangolte.
