Russell Boyd
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Russell Boyd (born 21 April 1944) is an Australian cinematographer. He rose to prominence with his highly-praised work on Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975), the first of several collaborations with director Peter Weir. He is also a member of the ASC.
Boyd served as cinematographer for Tender Mercies, a 1983 film about an alcoholic country singer played by Robert Duvall. Boyd largely utilized available light to give the film a natural feeling which director Bruce Beresford said was crucial to the movie. Actress Tess Harper said Boyd was so quiet during filming that he mostly used only three words: "Yeah, right and sure."[1]
