Burnett Guffey
The genius of this celebrated American director of photography was in his use of lighting which served him well through dozens of dark crime flicks, yet he was also able to demonstrate a great sensitivity and external representation of internal human emotions. Adept at both black-and-white and color photography, Burnett Guffey is particularly remembered for his two Academy Award winning efforts: "From Here to Eternity" (1953), in which the desires of the characters oozed from their lighted pores; and "Bonnie & Clyde" (1967), in which the lighting offered not just a sense of the period, but a subtle irony as well.
