Too many to decide upon one from cinema, but The Twilight Zone had some episodes with George T. Clements behind the camera that were fucking ravishing.

In the late 2000s I got to work on a commercial with Christopher Doyle (I was the 2nd AC). Rock star is an apt description as it felt like working with Keith Richards, down to the impenetrable accent. He had a half dozen film stocks, all mapped out shot-by-shot, and was a pro. But very funny and a gentleman.
Cool, I’m meant to understand he’s quite a lush too, just to complete the image. That run with WKW is just sublime, and his touch of anarchy makes it really just sing in a way that I don’t get from the usual “masters of light” without ever feeling pretentious.

Gordon Willis!
Nicolas Karakatsanis!

I once met Janusz Kamiński and he couldn't stop talking about how the secret to life is to get a prenup because women are evil. Terrible person.
