Whose visual style is most appealing to you (and why)?

One of my favorites is Vittorio Storaro, pic related. I never knew the name until I started watching early 70s gialli, particularly The Fifth Cord and Le Orme. Those films (and his work with Argento and Bertolucci) had a strong impact on me, more than his later movies that everyone has seen. I love his chiaroscuro of vibrant colors and deep blacks, the repeated use of parallel lines, and the scenes enveloped in light blue haze.

Here is a profile of Storaro, Writing with Light from 1992 which is also the name of his books.
I could upload more screenshots for some of his films but that's kind of like playing only one note from a piece of music.
Anyway I'll post some other favorite cinematographers when I get the time. :)

The top google image result for "flim noir" is John Alton's iconic shot from The Big Combo. Alton helped define the style with films bathed in black shadows. There's a great DVD including two of his essential films: Raw Deal and T-Men. The steam bath scene in the second film is particularly memorable.

Interesting connection that Alton's book Painting with Light was titled quite similarly to Storaro's Writing with Light.

Somebody made a post on cinematography but I don't see it anymore. It reminded me about this thread so I'm bumping, anyone else care to contribute?

Another great artist is Zbigniew Rybczynski, known for his inventive experimental shorts and the serial killer film Angst (1983) which was a huge inspiration to Gaspar Noe.

The documentary Zbig (2001) is what to watch to learn more about him. I actually found it on youtube but unfortunately the uploader did not add the subtitles

I've been trying to suggest some. You could look at Best Shot Films from American Cinematographer magazine but it's mostly a list of familiar titles.

I'm not up to par with the cinematographers as much as I should be but I'd have to say Freddie Young and the guy who DP'd Barry Lyndon, John Alcott.

A newer talent I've noticed is Manuel Dacosse who is best known for his work with Cattet and Forzani

I want to see more of his projects…especially Nectar (2014) and Evolution (2015)

<In celebration of the 110th anniversary of his birth, Japan Society presents an 11-film retrospective surveying the work of Kazuo Miyagawa (1908-1999), the most influential cinematographer of postwar Japanese cinema. Working intimately with directors like Yasujiro Ozu, Akira Kurosawa, Kenji Mizoguchi and Kon Ichikawa on some of their most important films, Miyagawa pushed Japanese cinema to its highest artistic peaks through his lyrical, innovative and technically flawless camerawork.

-------------------------------------------------

When you take on a project, how do you begin to visualize it in terms of the framing, the lighting and the overall look you want to give the film?

I would say that’s one of the hardest things for me as a cinematographer: finding the key that unlocks the film in a visual sense, that will illuminate the story so you’re inspired and excited about shooting it everyday for a long time — because when you decide to do a movie it can take anywhere from three months to a year of your life. When I find that key, it ignites what I call the “big bang.”
