cool.....

Thank you David, you certainly know your stuff and I took your posts with great respect.

I have only seen Kaminski's films, and a few of Willis' thats why Im asking other people opinions!! Basically I think that Kaminski takes risks in his techniques that pay off when Willis just kept with what he was happy with and did not really want to advance?!!

Can you notice any techniques in style that has more than often appeared in Kaminski and Willis' work? How do their styles then compare and why?

Thanks for that. The reason I am comparing those two is because in the assignment that were the only DOPs I am allowed to study!

Are there any obvious signs or patterns you see changing both in Kaminski's and Willis's work? Can you give examples and reasons why?

Do you think Willis will continue his solid and stable style while Kaminski will try and develop his style and experiment? Should Kaminski start working with other directors than Steven? As they have worked for eachother for so long, has Kaminski slipped into Steven's style? Obviously a DOP has to create what the director wants but can their style change over time towards the style of the director if they have worked together for such a long time? Is this a good or bad thing? In your opinions, how has Kaminski's style and Willis's changed over the years and why? What patterns seem apparant? Why?

VERY good post. What do you think of Gordon Willis , The Devils Own?

I am making a documentary on these 2 DOP's for an assignment and I was just wondering what people thought of their styles, and how they compare? and why? Also can a director work with a DOP too much to be able to change the DOP's original style??? e.g (Steven Spielberg)?!
