Name Christopher Doyle
Born 1952, Sydney. Australia Background Doyle went through numerous occupations before becoming one of the world's great cinematographers. He was a merchant marine and supervised irrigation in India. He also sold drugs in Amsterdam. He even claims to have sold quack medicine in Thailand and taught English in Hong Kong. Oh, and we shouldn't forget the taxi driving in Paris. He says he also thought of becoming a Greek sailor but he ‘wasn't ready for the double penetration'. Doyle was never much of a filmgoer. insisting the only reason he went to the cinema when he was young was to feet up his girlfriend. Eventually he fell into his “proper job' shooting Chungking Express. Temptress Moon and In the Mood for Love. as well as Psycho and Rabbit Proof Fence.
What’s he up to now? He recently showed a series of his shon directorial works at the Edinburgh Film Festival and also shot Gus Van Sant's new film, Paranoid Park. He seems especially proud of the shower scene in the film, 'where you condense the intuition of the shoot into one Or two key moments.’ What he says about Paranoid Park “What I learned most from the Paranoid Park experience was how to remove oneself. Most directors expect me to find the visual: Van Sant wanted things as mundane as possible.‘ Interesting fact Though he hangs out sometimes with other great cameramen, including Darius Khondii. Seamus McGarvey and Anthony Dod Mantle. he still doesn‘t watch many films and his main inspiration comes not from cinema but books and music. He loves Bukowski and Bataille. Tom Waits and Leonard Cohen.
