The Director of Photographer that I chose to write about is John Toll. To me, it seems like his visual style is kind of big and epic with a lot of camera movement of shots of land. From viewing a number of his movies I think that his visual style is one that uses beautiful landscape as a back drop to get the shot that they need. This is evident in most of his films. I noticed that in a lot of shots, rather than using shallow depth of field he has a way of using the landscape in the background of alot of his shots to bring the scene to life. Whether it is mountains in Braveheart, the jungle in The Thin Red Line, or the city in Vanilla Sky it always seems like he has massive beautiful shots of the land where they are filming. Also, I noticed that in some of his push in shots he kind of hooks it to the left or right.
