Mood Board #15 & #16 - Cinematographers - ROGER DEAKINS & EMMANUEL LUBEZKI

Emmanuel Lubezski is much less well known than Roger Deakins, but has still been nominated for Oscars in five films. We discovered his work through the film Children of Men, in which Lubezski pulls off some incredible long take sequences. This is the main part of his cinematography we like, so I have put a clip below, but he also creates some stunning visuals.



Roger Deakins is one of Hollywood's leading cinematographers and has been nominated for multiple Oscars for Best Cinematography. He is the master of the silhouette shot, as seen in three out of four of the images below, but retains very powerful images throughout his films. Deakins is one of the few cinematographers who makes cinematography a key aspect of the film. Many cinematographers do obvious, simple shots that get the job done, but Deakins takes it a step further and turns every frame into a work of art. From here I will let the visuals speak for themselves.
