directors you would like to work with

[juan namnun]

i wasn't referring to style really.
Maybe i was arrogant in thinking that just for my appreciation of the way mr Deakins uses color for the directors he has worked before (you may not like "in time" but its colors looks great! some of his colleagues that were mentioned on my post, use color with excellence also but to a lesser extent.) i could declare him to be the best cinematographer in Hollywood.
I also hope for the democratization of cinema.

That's funny! And very well put.

OOT but i should ask im wondering why dont you shoot TV commercials and tv shows? is there any reason behind this

[jzakko]

How about just ones that are dead? That way it's neither a job plea or a slight. The number one director who has passed away who you would like to work with: Fellini, Truffaut, Melville, Bergman, Tarkovsky...?

Casavettes would be nice. Haha.

Cinematography is not just about the light or the frame but something even less tangible. Miyagawa, Decae, Yusov!!! Not much else to say.

I didn't know that you are fan of Yusov
he is one of my masters from vgik, and still there teaching (that's not right word actually, more like directing students to learn) cinematography.

Juan; best is subjective term in art.

[juan namnun]

Yusov is maybe the best cinematographer i ve only seen one of the films he didnt shot for Tarkosvky,(a walking over Moscow maybe its name) in Russian(as Bergman and Sven did with Andrey Rublov) didnt understand a word from it, but nevertheless was very trill by the experience! i dont believe best is subjective in art (and if it were anybody myself include could say what they find to be best, so it wouldnt matter)but then again there s a chance im wrong in that respect.

Melville, Antonioni and Tarkovsky, obviously, but also Peckinpah, Huston, Leone, Rene Claire would be a must, Rosillini, Mizoguchi, Ichkawa, Bresson .....
