If you want to succeed, it’s best to have a battle plan. Cinematographer Mandy Walker knows this full well having worked on films ranging from Shattered Glass to Australia to Hidden Figures, but she faced her biggest challenge when she signed on to tackle Disney’s epic live-action remake of Mulan. Luckily — despite a surprisingly short schedule, weeks of exteriors, and massive intricate action sequences — she and director Niki Caro formulated a plan that resulted in the most visually stunning Disney live-action remake yet. Now available as a Premier Access title on Disney+, this new Mulan follows …
Roger Deakins? Incredible. Wally Pfister? No question.

The Netflix drama series Ozark is certainly one of the most visually striking shows on television right now, but that doesn’t mean it comes easy. The show involves tons of exterior scenes captured on location in Atlanta, Georgia, but keeping the image consistent throughout unpredictable weather and cloud cover is a constant challenge – one that Emmy-nominated cinematographer Armando Salas is used to. Ozark was nominated for two Emmy awards in the Outstanding Cinematography for a Single Camera Series (One-Hour) category, with Ben Kutchins scoring a nod for the episode “Civil Union” and Armando Salas scoring a nomination …
The Matrix sequels cinematographer Bill Pope explained how Stanley Kubrick influenced the Wachowskis, which in turn made for a grueling back-to-back production for both cast and crew.
The Netflix original drama series Mindhunter is one of the best shows on television. It’s compelling and challenging in the best way, as it traces the early days of the FBI’s Behavioral Science Unit through the eyes of a pair of ambitious yet troubled detectives who spend their time interviewing serial killers, looking for insight that could help them catch future killers. It’s also a wildly cinematic show, which should come as no surprise given that it hails from executive producer and director David Fincher. Season 1 of the series was focused on the origins of the …
He tied in his thoughts to what happened with Heath Ledger's Joker performance years ago.
Disney released a second trailer for Marvel's Black Widow last week, and if you took a close look at the credit block, you'd notice that there was no cinematographer listed. It was an odd omission, to say the least. A December 2018 tweet from Discussing Film claimed that Rob Hardy (Ex Machina) had signed on to work alongside director Cate Shortland and serve as Black Widow's cinematographer, and from what we can tell, initially, he did. But apparently, Hardy parted ways with the project before production began, and sources say that Marvel turned to one of its …
Oftentimes, cinematographers are the unsung heroes of their films. They work diligently and artfully to craft the light, framing, and atmosphere of a film’s shots, all the while ensuring that it’s in support of story and character. But one cinematographer’s name in particular is on the level of filmmakers like Martin Scorsese or David Fincher, and that’s Roger Deakins. Actors flat-out admit they sign on to films just to work with Deakins, and he’s one of the most in-demand cinematographers working today. Deakins is a master cinematographer not just because the films he …
