There is no doubt 2007 was an extraordinary year for movies.<\/p>\n

But a crucial part of what has made it such a rich year for visuals was the remarkable work of the Oscar nominated cinematographers: Robert Elswit<\/a><\/strong> (There Will Be Blood, Michael Clayton), Roger Deakins<\/a><\/strong> (No Country for Old Men, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford), Seamus McGarvey<\/a><\/strong> (Atonement) and Janusz Kaminski<\/a><\/strong> (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly). <\/a><\/p>\n

But there was also some truly brilliant work from the likes of Harris Savides<\/a> (Zodiac), Martin Ruhe<\/a> (Control), Eric Gautier<\/a> (Into the Wild), Oleg Mutu<\/a> (4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days), Edward Lachman<\/a> (I’m Not There) and Roderigo Prieto<\/a> (Lust, Caution), to name just a few who made their mark this year.<\/p>\n
