Wally Pfister Style

Wally Pfister has had a tremendous career in cinematography and has recently transitioned to being a director. I go through some of his cinematography lighting and camera techniques to help you understand his unique style. Wally Pfister prefers to call his style naturalistic. I don’t agree with the terminology, because even though his shots look unlit to the general audience (any good cinematographer should be able to do so), they don’t look unlit to the trained cinematographer’s eye.

He is a staunch supporter of film, and shoots most of his work on 35mm anamorphic, specifically Panavision. He uses Panavision C, E, or G lenses. For high-speed work, he shot on Photo-sonics cameras, probably the 4ER and/or 4C. The former goes up to 360 fps, while the latter goes up to 2,500 fps. Most of the shots in Inception were shot at 1,000 fps.  In addition to using film to create his breathtaking shots, the cinematographer often prefers to shoot in anamorphic (a widescreen aspect ratio) and IMAX. Creating such images gives the on-screen action space to breathe, and their vastness lends audiences a unique perception of the unfolding scene.

Wally Pfister And Christopher Nolan

In 1998, Pfister shot The Hi-Line in Montana in the dead of winter on a $300,000 budget. It got into the competition at the Sundance Film Festival. There, he met Nolan, who had a film at Slamdance. Pfister’s first collaboration with Nolan was on the neo-noir thriller Memento 2000. The success of this collaboration resulted in Pfister taking over as director of photography for Nolan’s subsequent films: Insomnia2002, Batman Begins 2005, The Prestige 2006, The Dark Knight 2008, which he partially shot with IMAX cameras, and Inception, which was shot partially in 5-perf 65 mm.

He is the only cinematographer that has worked with director Christopher Nolan between Memento and The Dark Knight Rises and has served as cinematographer for all of Nolan’s films except for Following 1998, for which Nolan acted as cinematographer himself, Interstellar 2014, Dunkirk 2017, and Tenet 2020, in those of which he was replaced by Hoyte van Hoytema, after Pfister got the chance to direct his first film, Transcendence.

Pfister has stated that he “turned down many projects including several Harry Potter films, in some cases just to be available for Nolan, or to stay home with my family.”Pfister has been nominated for an Academy Award for Best Cinematography four times, each time for a film directed by Nolan. He won an Academy Award for his work on Inception at the 83rd Academy Awards.

He also has been nominated three times for the American Society of Cinematographers Award for Outstanding Achievement in Cinematography in Theatrical Releases, for Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and Inception, winning for the latter, in 2011.
