My Take

Robert Richardson is, to me, one of the most important cinematographers alive. Born in Hyannis, Massachusetts in 1955, he has won the Academy Award for Best Cinematography three times, a feat shared only with Vittorio Storaro and Emmanuel Lubezki. What fascinates me is his range: his collaborations with Oliver Stone, Martin Scorsese, and Quentin Tarantino span wildly different visual languages, from the jagged urgency of JFK to the lush period look of The Aviator and Hugo. He moves between film and digital without losing his signature, and that adaptability across decades and directors is exactly what separates a great cinematographer from a merely good one.

Overview

Robert Bridge Richardson, ASC (born August 27, 1955) is an American cinematographer. Known for his work with Oliver Stone, Martin Scorsese, and Quentin Tarantino, he explores a variety of visual styles, both with film and digital cameras. He is one of three living people who has won the Academy Award for Best Cinematography three times, along with Vittorio Storaro and Emmanuel Lubezki.
