Robert Christopher Elswit, (born April 22, 1950) is an American cinematographer. He has had multiple Oscar, BAFTA, and Independent Spirit nominations for several films, including ''There Will Be Blood'' (2007). Elswit frequently works with director Paul Thomas Anderson.〔(Eugene Hernandez, "Decade: Paul Thomas Anderson on 'There Will Be Blood'," indieWIRE (December 24, 2009) ) Retrieved June 4, 2010.〕 ==Life and career== Elswit was born in California. An early short film he worked on, was a 1982 TV adaptation of the Ray Bradbury short story 'All Summer in a Day'. Elswit is a fierce defender of shooting with film, and whenever possible refuses to use digital cameras. Images shot digitally, he says, have "no texture, no grain."〔("A Little More Than Luck on Syriana and Good Night, and Good Luck," StudioDaily (January 1, 2006) ) Retrieved April 19, 2011.〕 Elswit has also worked with director George Clooney several times. He shot Clooney's black and white, multiple-Oscar nominated film ''Good Night, and Good Luck''. Notably, Elswit shot the film in color, then converted the film into black and white in post production. According to Elswit, this technique preserved the subtlety of the colors (as complex shades of blacks and greys) and made the overall look much richer in the final film.〔("A Little More Than Luck on Syriana and Good Night, and Good Luck," StudioDaily (January 1, 2006) ) Retrieved April 19, 2011.〕 Elswit received his first Academy Award nomination for Best Cinematography in 2006 for his work on the movie ''Good Night, and Good Luck''. He lost that Oscar to Dion Beebe for ''Memoirs of a Geisha''. Two years later, Elswit would again be nominated and this time win the Oscar for Best Cinematography, for his work on ''There Will Be Blood''.〔(Robert Elswit - Awards ). ''Internet Movie Database''. Retrieved May 7th, 2010.〕 Elswit has cited early independent filmmaker John Cassavetes as a major influence. Elswit is a graduate of the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts and worked there as a teaching assistant in the 1970s. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Robert Elswit」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
