Vittorio Storaro’s innovations in cinematography have forever changed film. He is the photographer behind such classic films as Last Tango in Paris, Apocalypse Now, Reds and The Last Emperor.

Storaro describes his distinctive style as writing with light and shadow; conveying emotions and symbolism through the use of color. He has taught generations of film-makers to compose cinematic images with a painter’s eye.

He won three Oscars but was first celebrated internationally for his partnership with Bernardo Bertolucci. His films range from drama to documentary, tv mini series to IMAX movies.

Storaro believes that cinematographers are co-authors of the films they help create, and should push to be recognized as artists rather than as technicians. Cinematography out of shadows with Vittorio Storaro.
