Harris Savides 1957 - 2012

Written by Notebook

Published on

After the upcoming The Bling Ring, no more Harris Savides-shot movies: One of the great cinematographers has left us. We've genuinely lost a unique look at the world, and thus a very special vision of cinema. The excerpt below is from Gus Van Sant's Gerry (2002), one of six films Harris Savides shot for the filmmaker. Savides also unforgettably photographed films by James Gray, David Fincher, Woody Allen, Jonathan Glazer, Noah Baumbach, Ridley Scott and Sofia Coppola.

    This really sucks. Loved his work and especially his efforts to mentor others. You will be missed, HS.

    An influence to every film I have tried to shoot. RIP Harris, I can’t imagine how Gus is feeling.

    A shame and a great loss to modern cinema. Luckily, he left a hefty body of exceptional work to remember him by. RIP
