Sometimes I work on film sets. I've done this for 40 years. I always wanted to photograph on the set of an Ingmar Bergman film. Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've always shot on film, but the times are changing.
I always take hundreds and hundreds of pictures. I used to work for 'National Geographic,' and they gave us a lot of film.
I used to do a lot of casual photography - back in the olden times when one used film - but it had fallen by the wayside over the years.
I always saw photography as a way to get to film.
As the years go by and I make more films, I am increasingly interested in capturing place as a vivid backdrop for my films.
I discovered that, in order to write a magnificent piece, you should shoot the images because once you are filming, you are writing the script in your mind.
I loved photography and everybody said it was a crazy thing to do because in those days nobody made it into the film business. I mean, unless you were related to somebody there was no way in.
For seven years, I made films in the cinema verite tradition - photographing what was happening without manipulating it. Then I realised I wanted to make things happen for myself, through feature films.
I had a background in theater as an actor, and then a photographer, and then as an experimental filmmaker and editor.
I don't think there is a movie that I've been on that I wasn't sure I could direct it better. But certainly also, as a director of photography, I have to serve the movie in whatever way I can as a filmmaker.
