"cinematographer Yamit Shimonovitz, had lengthy discussions about using lights and camera angles to create a feeling that was sensual and celebratory, rather than clinical or salacious."
Meet the Cinematographers Behind Some of the Biggest Movies — Who Happen to Be Women
“Yamit Shimonovitz was the cinematographer on Half the Picture, a 2018 documentary about gender representation in Hollywood, so it was a no-brainer to include her on this list.”
Thank you Zeiss for highlighting my work.
I had fun talking to David,
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
