His work has been out of this world. The cinematography in 2009's Bright Star was so gorgeous.

She shot Lucrecia Martel's LA MUJER SIN CABEZA (THE HEADLESS WOMAN, Argentina 2008) which, for me, is the best lensed feature of the decade. Period. CBH

in the section comments.
Favorites are a matter of taste not of democracy.
No one has the right to demand that a Black DP should be
one's favorite. It's ridiculous. Wake up people.

Talented batch. Don't take this personal but goodness how is it remotely possible you don't have BRADFORD YOUNG on this list? (It isn't as if he's hiding, he won "Best DP" at Sundance 2011, for 1 of 2 features on that year's roster. How many DP'S can you list with 2feature narratives at Sundance?) Had a feature in 2012 Sundance, "Middle of Nowhere", where the director won "Best Director" &it just played LAFF, Gala night. Will be released in October, with 3additional films in the can. This site needs to expand peripheral vision, you can't say you didn't see "Pariah". What about "R.C." and "M.O.N? It isn't as if Bradford's films are off the radar. Obviously off Playlist &your radar but not off "the" radar. He has 1-2 films a year at 'the' meta-domestic fest. "Restless City" is a love letter to light &tones, the cinematography is knock down enviable. When you see it, you're going to understand my frustration.
A particular group of people, seem invisible whenever Playlist makes these lists, even when those people are right under your nose, in the 'exact-precise' same pool the entire industry is fishing from…widen the net already. I love-love this site, but damn, taller hat. (Super grt that Reed Morano is on this list.)

BAD PLAYLIST BAD!!!

Do they make good money? Some actors make more than they should, but I hope these cinematographers make some good money for all the work they do.

And mea culpa on Bradford Young; Pariah hasn't made it to my part of the world yet, though I'm sure he'd be a serious contender if I had seen it.

He's only done shorts for the most part, but as a first feature, Dead Man's Burden on 35mm is absolutely stunning. If that's any indication, he will be on this list soon.
