David
Watkin
An influential British cinematographer who was among the first directors
of photography to experiment heavily with the usage of bounce light as a soft
light source. He has worked with such noted directors as Richard Lester, Peter
Brook, Tony Richardson, Mike Nichols, Ken Russell, Franco Zeffirelli, Sidney
Lumet, and Sydney Pollack.In 1985, Watkin won the Academy Award for Best
Cinematography for his work on Out of Africa. Most recently, he was
given lifetime achievement awards in 2004 by both the British Society of Cinematographers
and the cinematographic-centric Camerimage Film Festival in ?ód?, Poland.
Watkin started work at the Southern Railway Film Unit and then British Transport
Films before going off to work freelance in commercials in around 1960. It was
on a commercial shoot that he met Richard Lester, who hired him for his feature
film, The Knack...and How to Get It (1965).
He is noted for his very casual approach & has a rather famous habit of sleeping
on-set in between lighting setups. His autobiography, Why Is There Only
One Word for Thesaurus?, was first published in 1998 and is currently
being prepared for a revised second edition.
