One of the most respected and acclaimed cinematographers in the world, Rodrigo Prieto is known for his meticulous setups, unconventional camerawork, and rich use of color. He’s been nominated for four—count, ‘em, FOUR—Academy Awards for his work on Brokeback Mountain, Martin Scorsese’s Silence, The Irishman, and Killers of the Flower Moon. Rodrigo’s directorial debut, the short film Likeness starring Elle Fanning, premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival.

Rodrigo collaborates with some of the biggest names in film, including Martin Scorsese, Ang Lee, Oliver Stone, and Alejandro González Iñárritu. His first collaboration with Iñárritu, Amores Perros (2000), is widely hailed as the cinematographer’s breakthrough, and spurred Rodrigo’s relocation from Mexico to Los Angeles. This movie, along with their next two projects, 21 Grams and Babel, are regarded as the three films that have led the renaissance of Mexican cinema.

Other notable films Rodrigo has shot include Passengers, Argo, Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street, Julie Taymor's The Glorias and most recently the films Killers of the Flower Moon and Greta Gerwig's Barbie.

Rodrigo is currently in post-production for his directorial debut, an adaptation of Pedro Paramo by Juan Rulfo, which is considered one of the most revered Mexican Novels of the 20th century.
