Oliver Wood (cinematographer)

Oliver Wood is an English cinematographer.

His first break came for director Leonard Kastle on cult crime film The Honeymoon Killers (1969) where he used available light to give the dark comedy a newsreel look.^[1]

After that, his career was quiet for a while, before picking up in the late 1980s. He was director of photography for 18 episodes of stylish 1980s TV crime show Miami Vice before becoming DP on big-budget Hollywood films including Face/Off (1997), Fantastic Four (2005), and Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues (2013). He also shot the Bourne Trilogy, where he worked with director Paul Greengrass to produce a spontaneous, naturalistic effect, often using multiple cameras, frequently handheld, citing films such as The Battle of Algiers as an influence.^[2][3]

He was nominated for a BAFTA for The Bourne Ultimatum (2007).^[4]
