My Take
Mark Lee Ping-bin is a cinematographer I'd put among the great visual poets of Asian cinema, even if his name rarely reaches casual viewers. His collaborations with directors like Hou Hsiao-hsien and Wong Kar-wai gave us some of the most achingly beautiful images on film, where light seems to breathe and mood does the storytelling. With over seventy films and a wall of international awards behind him, he's a Taiwanese master who proves the camera operator can be as much an author as the director. When I notice the photography before the plot, his is often the hand I imagine behind it.
