There is one aspect that is extremely important in the world of cinema, especially for a cinematographer: the light. The etymology of the term photography comes from the Greek phôs meaning “light” and graphè meaning “drawing, writing”. Photography is essentially the art of capturing and fixing the image of a subject using light, which, by illuminating it, allows capturing its form and details on film or a digital sensor. Therefore, photographing is like “writing with light”. Photographers – aware of how any variation in the quality and direction of light can completely change the perception of a scene – use this element to evoke emotions, tell stories, and convey atmospheres. And this is what Michael Seresin has been doing for about sixty years, ever since he became passionate about cinema and photography at a very young age.
