I wasn’t really aware of Robbie Ryan but Red Road and Fish Tank have great urban cinematography, also if you haven’t seen Anna Karenina then you should, it’s not the best movie but the work of Seamus Mcgravey is more than enough reason to watch it.
Where are all the masters of B&W like Hal Mohr, Stanley Cortez, Douglas Slocombe, Joe MacDonald, and Henri Alekan? I think black and white films can be more beautiful than color ones.
It’s a great site. I am a cinematography student at FSU and this site and the material on it is great help. However, the Matthew Libateque( spelling) page does not show any information. It would be great to have his work for reference for a film i am shooting. But either way, Thanks.
Thanks for notifying me, i have the link fixed for you now, but only have requiem for a dream completed as of now. Let me know what other films youd like to see and ill add em to my work queue
I am but one person! I aim to cover everyone EVENTUALLY…. leave some film recommendations and Ill add them to my “to find list”. P.S. Theres a few Storaro films on the way.
Hi, i was wondering if you would recommend me some examples of color mixing, kind of what was used in Hobo With a Shotgun and Far From Heaven, they both differ but use the same temperature-mixing technique, thank you.
If you like far from heaven you should check out the two directors that influenced it, Douglas Sirk made some pretty great melodramas in the 50′s (All That Heaven Allows and Written on the wind are good examples) and Rainer Werner Fassbinder whos body of work is insane, you should defo look into Lola and also Querelle as two films with a very hightened colour palette, very surreal looking.
I will be featuring all of the films mentioned above soon (lola is already posted) hope thats of some help!
Hi Donnacha,
Great site.
There are loads of films I could recommend to you.
Thought it might be nice to feature some irish DPs-
Brendan Galvin’s work.
Also Robbie Ryan- Red Road, Fish Tank and Scouting Book For Boys.
Seamus McGarvey- Atonement, The Hours, The War Zone.
Keep up the good work!

Sorry about that. I meant fixing the problem. I was still half asleep when i typed that last one.

It’s a shame that there is nothing from Gregg Toland, Sven Nyquist, Vittorio Storaro and Billy Bitzer here:(
