Thomas Smith Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Hi, Henri Decae, All his Films ("Le Cercle Rouge" and "Le Samourai" are the best... At least for me) Dick Pope, All his Films but in particular "Naked". Phillip Lathrop, for his camera work on "Touch of Evil" and The cinematography of "Experiment in Terror". Roger Deakins, Harris Savides, for his way of lighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Brahem Ziryab Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 (edited) My top 5 cinematographers are: 1. Roger Deakins 2. Emmanuel Lubezki 3. Janusz Kaminski 4. Robert Richardson 5. Vittorio Storaro Just love Roger Deakins use of light and choice of lenses. Also they way he moves the camera and composite his shots are just beautiful done. Of course, Roger Deakins is a person which is constantly improving his skills though experience, and his earley movies wasen't really beautifully photographed, but he gained his experience fast and has produced some stunning results over the last couple of years. Both Emmanuel Lubezki and Janusz Kaminski is for me, one of the masters in camera movement. They know how to make a choice of a visual style for telling the story in the best form, and they put the visual style perfectly thoughout the entire movie. Vittorio Storaro is often considered as one of the biggest cinematographers thoughout the movie history, and this is defently noticable in his use of lightning, colors, composition and of course his incredible knowledge about the art of cinematography. If I had the chance to put a couple of extra cinematographers on my list, I would choose Dean Semler, Dion Beebe, César Charlone, Anthony Dod Mantle, Wally Pfister and Ron Fricke.
