Lol Crawley: VistaVision, Underexposure and The Brutalist (Special Camerimage Episode)

Lol Crawley: VistaVision, Underexposure and The Brutalist (Special Camerimage Episode)

On this special edition of The Cinematography Salon Podcast, recorded at the 32nd Camerimage Film Festival, hosts Ava Benjamin Shorr and Lauren Guiteras sit down with cinematographer Lol Crawley to dissect his latest collaboration with Brady Corbet, The Brutalist. Crawley discusses the philosophy behind his bold visual choices, the interplay between maximalism and minimalism, his daring use of underexposure and the delicate art of framing iconic symbols like the Statue of Liberty in unexpected ways. A masterclass in storytelling through the lens, this episode offers a thought-provoking look at the power of perspective, composition, and the magic of imperfection.

With thanks to.
