“I'm sure favorite moments in movies are things that just happen accidentally when the camera is there. You have to do all the homework to get yourself into the period, the costumes, the style, the voice, the hairdo or whatever it is, but once you've done all that work, you have to kind of let it go and just be there. If you're always thinking about it, it just looks a bit over-thought.” IfsThinkingLooksKindDoneMomentsHappensBitsVoiceStylePeriodsCamerasCostumesLet It GoHomeworkAlways ThinkingHairdos Author:Tom Hiddleston

While it is too soon to define the characteristic of the photographic style today, one common denominator, rooted in tradition, seems in the ascendancy.
