Cinematography (Screencraft Series)

Although the cinematographer or director of photography rarely receives the kind of attention reserved for directors and actors, there is little doubt that this is the key technical role in the process of revealing a story through images. The cinematographers featured in this book encompass three generations of filmmaking and represent a diversity of film cultures. What they have in common is the contribution they have made to a universal cinema heritage and the fact that their work has helped to expand—if not revolutionize—the language of film. This beautifully designed and illustrated book speaks in the voices of these cinematographers and through the powerful images they have created for the screen.
