Anastasia Kirillova Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Hi guys, I've had a look through recommended books and went through a few threads about books to read on cinematography but can't really find the answer that I need. Can anyone recommend a book worth reading which gives an interesting insight into the work of a cinematographer. Perhaps it's a book about some important DOPs career, perhaps it's someone's thoughts about the approach to their work... I'm NOT looking for anything technical, nor any manual for beginners, nor a dry book on how things should be done but rather something inspirational. Any suggestions?? Thank you in advance. a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted December 11, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted December 11, 2007 Nestor Almendros' "Man with a Camera" is an inspirational autobiography by a cinematographer, about his quest for more naturalism and simplicity. The interviews in "Masters of Light" are inspirational too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Gravat Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 It's not a book, but rather a documentary. "Tell them who you are." It's about the life of the cinematographer Haskel Wexler. Very inspiring and heartfelt, as the director is none other than his son. - Chris Gravat Boston, MA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
