Daniel Pearl, A.S.C. (born 1951 in The Bronx, New York[1]) is an American cinematographer who has worked on many feature films, over 400 music videos and more than 250 commercials. His best-known work is probably The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and its 2003 remake.
After gaining a master's degree at University of Texas at Austin, Pearl met Tobe Hooper in a film lab. After receiving some advice from the cinematographer about filters, Hooper later invited him to work on The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, saying that "it's really important that I have a Texan shoot this film."[1]
He won the first MTV cinematography award for "Every Breath You Take."[1] He filmed the Michael Bay-directed "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)", which he cites as "one of my personal all-time favorite projects ... I think the cinematography is pure, and it tells a story about the song."[2] Michael Bay would later produce the 2003 Chainsaw remake.
