Robert Richardson

Robert Richardson is a three-time Academy Award winner for Best Cinematography for his work on both Martin Scorsese's HUGO and THE AVIATOR and Oliver Stone's epic tapestry JFK.

THE HATEFUL EIGHT marked Richardson's fifth collaboration with Director Quentin Tarantino, having previously teamed with the influential filmmaker on DJANGO UNCHAINED, INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS, and KILL BILL: VOLUMES 1 & 2.

Richardson has also enjoyed successful long-standing relationship with director Oliver Stone. By cultivating the ability to adopt a wide variety of visual styles as a survival guide, their artistic partnership flourished on a number of films, including NATURAL BORN KILLERS, NIXON, BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY and PLATOON, the latter two of which Richardson garnered Academy Award nominations.

Richardson has done beautiful work for a number of other prominent directors, including Martin Scorsese (HUGO, THE AVIATOR, CASINO, BRINGING OUT THE DEAD) and Robert Redford (THE HORSE WHISPERER) and Barry Levinson (WAG THE DOG).

A native of Cape Cod, Richardson attended the Rhode Island School of Design and the American Film Institute. Richardson has also photographed several documentaries with Errol Morris, including FAST, CHEAP AND OUT OF CONTROL, MR. DEATH and the unflinching Abu Ghraib documentary STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE.
