Of course, Haynes/Lachman belongs there. You just can’t imagine a Todd Haynes movie without Edward Lachlan’s sultry photography. The duo were set to shoot their sixth collaboration together this fall with “May/December,” but Lachman broke his hip and won’t be able to collaborate. Turns out Lachman got injured after shooting Pablo Larrain’s next film in Chile. Blasphemy! It is essential for “May/December” to have the Lachman touch. Why can’t he just work sitting on a wheelchair? Who will replace him now? Lachman still shoots on film, bless him, and has made a name for himself as one of the Best Working Cinematographers in the game. He is an expert at recreating the cinema and visual language of different eras (check out “Far From Heaven” and “Carol”). Here’s an artist who loves looking back on old-school techniques to create these dreamy, surreal visual states. Lachman’s antiquated cinematographic techniques in “Far From Heaven” we’re so meticulous in detail that only a true student of the craft could pull it off. His use of color, along with his penchant for classical compositions, makes his films stunning to look at. I’m sure Haynes realizes that Lachman will be sorely missed on-set. Contribute Hire me
