Michael Lippi II Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Much of Conrad Hall's work still captivates me and like many I wish he was still alive today. As far as the living goes, I've only seen one of his movies but I still wouldn't mind apprenticing Steve Yeldin after his work on Brick. I'm a bit ashamed I haven't had a chance yet to see more of his films but I'm sure that will change soon. Michael Ballhaus is another favored DP I'd like to be under the wing of. He's got a bit of a widespread track record and I suppose I'm biased cause I love Scorsese films. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santiago Benet Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I would definitely say Dariuz Wolski, or Janus Kaminski , o Emanuel Lubeski these guys lighting and use of camera is very creative. Would love to have that input into my formation. And if Conrad Hall would be alive that would be an other kind of learning from a master.

Mikel Guillen Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 In my case it will be Sacha Vierny, Harris Savides, Benoit Debie...or any of the mexicans from Prieto, Berinstain or chivo lubezki... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aditya Vashisht Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Roger Deakins, Santosh Sivan. I don't understand why Santosh Sivan(from India) isn't popular among world cinematographers? He recently directed a hollywood movie 'Before The Rains'. He is one of the best cinematographers in India. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Kast Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 If he were still alive it would be easily be Conrad Hall, but since that's not the question I'd say Darius Khondji, or Andrew Lesnie, or Roger Deakins, or Dick Pope, possibly more. This is a tough one to narrow down to just one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saba Mazloum Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 If you dont mind me asking .. If you had a chance to meet these people you are mentioning..

Jorn van Oostende Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Barry Sonnefeld: from porn to Coen Brothers art-house movies (Blood Simple and Raising Arizona) to major block buster director, he must have an interesting story and was a great dp. A working DP would be Emmanuel Lubezki; but any other great DP would do just fine, so much to learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Cronin Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Tom Stern, I want to work for a man or woman that knows how to Gaff. Gaffers know what they are talking about when it comes to shooting. All the details are in lighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Greg Gross Posted November 11, 2009 Premium Member Share Posted November 11, 2009 Hello Tom, I would have liked to have worked on the "North Fork" set with David Mullen ASC,James Woods and Nick Nolte. I would have loved to be able to light those characters. I still consider "North Fork" to be my yardstick for beautiful photography/cinematography. There is one scene with Nick Nolte(he's lit by a practical) that is my favorite,prob- ably because to me it is a cinematography portrait. The master shots in this film are just so beautiful and I would have liked to have been with David Mullen to see and hear what he was visualizing and thinking. To see how he framed his shots and what lenses were used. I love glass,light,film and how they intertwine,interlace. We are so lucky to have him as a cinematographer on the forum that we can often reach out to. My other choice would have been that of Conrad Hall ASC and may god bless him. I think the scene with Nick Nolte(priest,practical light) is a beautiful one of a kind,classic scene. Light,glass,filmstock,craft,art,painting with light.

Lars Beyer Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Hi everybody, I´m new to this forum, so cheers to You all ! I would definetely say Bruno Delbonnel. He studied philosophy before cinematography, and seeks his inspiration in the fine arts, reading sheet music, since there is a strong sence of poetic structure in sheet music, which goes well with the art of cinematography, the sence of rhytm in the flow of the images. He is also a magician in terms of the amount of freedom of thought he applies to his technical understanding. He is truly an uncompromising artist and very experienced craftsman. So if I were to start all over again, (which is something one needs to do again and again I believe) I would bow to Mr Delbonnel. But there are so many other great and inspiring cinematographers in the history of cinematography worth a kneepad or two. Lars Beyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Miguel Angel Posted November 19, 2009 Premium Member Share Posted November 19, 2009 Hi there..

So, I've working with both and they are amazings!!. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver Gläser Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Robert Yeoman. He is great. Talented, intelligent, soft spoken. he knows his craft. I had the chance to shadow him on Martian Child for a month or so and it was a great experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaddeus Pope Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 As someone just starting out, I’d say that Roger Deakins and Janusz Kaminski would be the two guys that I’d most like to learn from. However, off the top of my head, it’d also be very nice to work with and learn from Robert Yeoman, Slawomir Idziak, Lance Acord, and Brian Tufano. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac Allen Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 (edited) You know who is a real interesting, somewhat underrated DP, Chris Menges. His work on THE MISSION was fantastic. He also took over for Deakins on THE READER. Edited January 8, 2010 by Mac Allen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Oxley Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 If I had to choose then I'd go with Wally Pfister, the relationship him and Christopher Nolan has is amazing. The two produce such great results, plus there was an awesome photo of him in American Cinematographer not too long ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
