Greatest Cinematographers

post #1 of 8
Thread Starter 
My favourite of all time is Conrad L. Hall (RIP - 2002)
He won three Oscars (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, American Beauty and the haunting Road to Perdition).
We will all miss him and find it hard to move on without him.
After Conrad I can't think of anyone else.
