Carl Weston Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 I think David Mullens is the best new cinematographer for being humble enough to offer all his knowledge in these forums. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I gotta agree with you, I'm reading about him alot now. I just checked him out at www.IMDB.com.."WOW" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harris Savides Jamusz Kaminski Lance Accord Roberto Schaefer Peter Andrews Xavi Gimenez Giovanni Fiore Coltellacci John Mathieson Just to name a few...

Louis Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 I'm glad sombody finally mentioned Wally Pfister. Although his sensibilities are more commercial, he has a really elegant style that I feel really contributes positively to Christopher Nolan's films, making them that much better.

Rod Otaviano Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 I'm a big fan of Robert McLachlan. He was the cinematographer in the TV series "Millennium". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Dimitrios Koukas Posted September 23, 2005 Premium Member Share Posted September 23, 2005 Elect the best new cinematographer in the world .The best new cinematographer means who shows a creative idea in these 10 or 15 years. My choices are : DARIUS KHONDJI CHRISTOPHER DOYLE RODRIGO PRIETO DION BEEBE SEAMUS MCGARVEY ROGER PRATT Be thanks for your consideration . <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I can't vote by this I am sorry, I see cinematographer's that I really like are not in this list, so the voting will be short sighted.

Mario C. Jackson Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Mauro Fiorre and Bill Pope are two really good cinematographers. I also think that John Mathison (Man on Fire) is really good. I might of spelled his name wrong. Mario C. Jackson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Williamson Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Actually it was Paul Cameron who shot "Man On Fire", which was one of my favorite films visually from last year. It looks like Dan Mindel has picked up the same look and run with it for Tony Scott's new movie "Domino" which I'm hoping will be fun. John Mathieson has been shooting many of the recent Ridley Scott movies, including "Kingdom of Heaven" and "Gladiator". Besides Cameron, newer DP's I like include Darius Khondji, Harris Savides, Bojan Bazelli, Mauro Fiore, Malik Sayeed, Claudio Miranda, etc. Lots of people doing great work right now...

john michaelson Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 There has been some great cinematographers mentioned so far. I thought I'd throw a few names into the discussion. Robert Elswit and Robert Yeoman are two guys that have been around for a long time but alot of their best work has been done in the last ten years. RE (Boogie Nights, Magnolia, Punch Drunk Love, Good Night And Good Luck) RY (Bottle Rocket, The Royal Tenabaums, The Life Aquatic). Of the newcomers I think two men who have a unique visual aesthetic are Benoit Debie (Irreversible, Calvaire, Innocence) and Ji-Yong Kim who shot the Korean film A Bittersweet Life which blew me away. Honorable mention has to go to Tim Orr who has shot all of David Gordan Greens Films and Benoit Delhomme who shot the French/Viatnamese film Cyclo, which changed my life....visually, that is.

Sam Wells Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Benoit Delhomme who shot the French/Viatnamese film Cyclo, which changed my life....visually, that is. He's great - you should see Tsai Ming-liang's "What Time Is It There" which he shot also - but I don't think he's "new" at this point. Also his previous collaboration with Tran Anh Hung, "Scent Of Green Papaya" is very interesting in that an attempt to create the atmosphere of southern Vietnam totally in a French studio. Before I went there I thought it didn't work but after I had been in Vietnam I was more impressed when I watched it again how they had created the feel - if not strict realism - of that intense light. -Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Irwin Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 I'd have to mention Changwei Gu, who shot Ju Dou and Farewell My Concubine. Ju Dou features some breathtaking shooting set inside a Chinese textile mill. Those who haven't seen it really should. Also, Chris Soos has been turning out some great work in music videos.

Daniel Andreas Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 I also joined just at the time that studios started forming indie divisions and we started to see more of these 3 to 6 mil. low-budget IA productions. How do those "Indie Divisions" work? Do they have different rules to join? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Sifakis Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 I think David Mullens is the best new cinematographer for being humble enough to offer all his knowledge in these forums. Interesting question...where to begin? I'd say Roger Deakins (especially for his work on "the village") Emmanuel Lubezki ( for his extrodinary lyricism) Rodrigo Prieto (for doing great job with small budgets) Janusz Kaminski (for reinventing himself with each new picture) I also love the work of Bruno Delbonell in Amelie and A Very Long Engagemant and Seresin's and Pratt's works on Harry Potter 3, and Harry Potter 4. Oh, and Harris Savides for his work on Elephant, Birth and Last Days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick McGowan Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 This isn't going to be the most original post. Of the DP's who started shooting features within the last 10-15 years, these are some of the people who have had multiple successful films and have really impressed me. Are they the best? I don't know. How do you define best? Janusz Kaminski Rodrigo Prieto Emmanuel Lubezki Ellen Kuras There are plenty more but these are the standouts. All of my posts have been pretty useless, but it passes the lonely time away on my computer. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K J Farrington Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 (edited) Julian Whatley, D.P. "Forty Shades Of Blue". Did asst. cam. duty on "Seven", "The Game", to name a few. Do yourselves a favor and add this film to your Netflex qeue immediately. Google him and check out his website where you may see examples of his still photography. And no one has put forth Eric Gautier, whose work can be seen on the screen in Patrice Chereau's "Gabrielle". He's working on Sean Penn's new film. Mark Lee Ping-Bing. His work with Hou Hsaio Hsien. Masterful. How about the evolution and of Agnes Godard, Claire Denis' primary D.P., and how her growth as a cinematographer has mirrored Denis' own growth into a fimmaker of considerable distinction. Their talents and achievements are inseperable. What a duo! Ok, I can no longer accept Ken Kelsch being routinely overlooked. He's worked with Abel Ferrara for years, and his work perfectly compliments that filmmaker's blistering intensity and boldness. "Bad Lt."; "Snake Eyes" (Aka, "Dangerous Game"); "The Blowout"; "New Rose Hotel"; "The Funeral", the immediacy, the presence, the deep materiality of his work with with Ferrara is indication of a first-rate talent. There is no "best in the world'. Impossible. What does Storraro know that Zigsmond doesn't? That Kovacs doesn't? That Willis doesn't? Who gets the gold medal in that group? And straight down the line- Prieto, Lubezki, Labatique, and on and on and on. Some of the newer ones aren't as battle tested as the old guard, but they got the chops, and they're already tearing up the field in significant ways. It's impossibly rich and full, this field of talent. Edited August 1, 2006 by KJNY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Mr. Khondji's work a lot ('SEven' especially) but my favourite DP has to be Mr. Doyle. He's just shot so many incredibly beautiful films (TOO many if you ask me!), ie. Happy Together, Ashes of Time, ITMFL, Rabbit-Proof Fence, chungking express & infernal affairs to name a few e. wong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
