The work of these individual cinematographers is varied, yet it all exemplifies a stellar level of achievement, says ASC President Kees van Oostrum. As a group, they also are a prime example of great careers in the industry and, over the years, they have set creative standards of the highest order.

He has collaborated with directors such as Todd Haynes, Steven Soderbergh, Robert Altman, Paul Schrader, Todd Solondz, Sofia Coppola, Werner Herzog, Wim Wenders, Volker Schl ndorff, Ulrich Seidl, and Jean-Luc Godard, among others.

He has also received the Golden Frog for Carol, the Silver Frog for Far From Heaven, and the Bronze Frog for I'm Not There (2007) at Camerimage, as well as the Director/Cinematographer Golden Frog with Haynes (2011). He is the only American to receive the prestigious Marburg Camera Award in Germany for his body of work.
