Gregory Dark

Having first made his name as a keen-eyed director of photography on straight-to-video exploitation fare ( Night Rhythms and Animal Instincts were low-budget softcore, but they looked a million dollars), Pfister has always known how to tell a story in camera – his images for films such as Inception and The Dark Knight may be dazzling, but his visual sense is rooted in the "show don't tell" school of narrative.
