Tricks of the Trade

by Vittorio Storaro, ASC

It changes every day, but is always the same: research for Equilibrium.

I believe that the Image, as the language of Cinema, is formed by the conflict and harmony of the two different elements of life: Light and Darkness.

Trying to find an Equilibrium between these two opposite forces as I visualize different stories, becomes — every day — the reason for my creative effort.

The research of this is my own life.
