He was known in the industry as “the prince of darkness”, due to his unique lighting technique which created lots of shadows.

Gordon Willis was renowned for his striking imagery in films such as Woody Allen’s Manhattan – he made eight films with Allen – and All the President’s Men.

He was also the cinematographer on Alan J. Pakula’s Klute, for which Jane Fonda won her first Oscar.

Gordon Willis worked on several other Alan J. Pakula thrillers including The Devil’s Own, his final film in 1997, which was also Pakula’s last directorial outing.
