Eat.Pray.Love

Just watched to movie last night
And the first thing that hit me was not how stunning Julia was in her role...
But the artistry behind the lens.






I not only saw but was brought in the the three different worlds.
Italy,India and  Bali
By the time they showed us India i had to know who the director of photography was for this movie.
My Roommate answered Robert Richardson.

That name seemed so very familiar to me but I didn't know how.
Then I went on imb and saw all the movies that had him on as director of photography.
Hugo,Eat Pray Love,Shudder Island, the aviator, The Good Shepard, Kill bill(1-2),The Horse Whisperer,Wag the Dog,
A Few Good Men, The Doors,Platoon.

Required Skills

Eat pray love had a similar feel to it visually as Wag the Dog but had more light captured and played with like   The horse whisperer.




As an artist and am blown away when I see what one can do with light on film... it takes my breath away
