Why Ed Lachman Used Vintage Baltar Lenses to Shoot ‘El Conde’ and Other Cinematography Tricks From ASC Nominees
Cinematographers Ed Lachman, Matt Libatique and Hoyte van Hoytema are among those vying for the ASC's top feature prize during its annual ceremony
The five Oscar nominees for cinematography — Edward Lachman(“El Conde”), Matthew Libatique (“Maestro”), Rodrigo Prieto (“Killers of the Flower Moon”), Robbie Ryan (“Poor Things”) and Hoyte van Hoytema (“Oppenheimer”) — are all up for similar ASC feature film honors while lensers for shows including “Lessons in Chemistry,” “The Diplomat” and “The Bear” have been nominated for TV trophies. Lachman, previously Oscar-nominated for his camera work on “Far From Heaven” and “Carol,” was tapped this year for his breathtaking imagery in “El Conde.” Pablo Larrain’s blend of history and horror casts Augusto Pinochet as a literal vampire.
