Legendary cinematographer Edward Lachman, ASC, joins us to discuss his Academy Award®-nominated cinematography for El Conde, Chilean filmmaker Pablo Larraín’s satirical horror-comedy which reimagines Augusto Pinochet as a 250-year old vampire. The film features stunning black & white photography, which required the invention of a new kind of camera sensor in order to capture the unique look and feel of the film. Edward discusses that, his use of vintage glass, the advantages of having his director as camera operator, and more.
