Barry Ackroyd (Masterclass)

The British cinematographer of The Hurt Locker, Captain Phillips, Hillsborough and Riff Raff reviews the art of the moving image.

Starting with Captain Phillips and Parkland, Barry Ackroyd details his work as a cinematographer. "I'm drawn to the subject of realism," he says, proven by his work with Ken Loach, Paul Greengrass and Kathryn Bigelow. Technique and approach are demystified through his straightforward approach, while his enthusiasm for the work is both obvious and satisfying.
