| - Gordon Willis, A.S.C. (born May 28, 1931 in Queens, New York, United States) is a Hollywood cinematographer best known for his work on the The Godfather series, and on Woody Allen's Annie Hall and Manhattan. Willis is famed for his penchant at photographing in extremely dark conditions, an approach which earned him the nickname "The Prince of Darkness", a moniker attributed to him by his friend Conrad Hall. Another trademark is his preference for filming at the magic hour before twilight, when the sun is low and creates a golden glow. Willis created the trope of warm ambers to denote nostalgic glow for the past, for the young Vito sequences of The Godfather Part II—many films since then have copied this cinematic technique when depicting pre-World War II America. Willis was shunned by the Academy for many years, failing to gain even a nomination for movies that were otherwise showered with Oscars. He eventually received two nominations, one for his inventive recreation of 1920s photography in Woody Allen's Zelig, and one for The Godfather Part III (1990). (en)

- Gordon Willis (Queens, New York, 28 mei 1931) is een Amerikaans cameraman. Hij werkte onder andere mee aan de The Godfather-trilogie, All The President's Men en verscheidene films van Woody Allen, waaronder Annie Hall. Willis is vooral bekend doordat hij regelmatig onder donkere omstandigheden filmt. Hij heeft hieraan de bijnaam "The Prince of Darkness" overgehouden. De eerste film waar Willis aan werkte als hoofd cinematografie was End of the Road uit 1970. Zijn meest succesvolle periode uit zijn carrière begon al een jaar later en eindigde rond 1977. De films die hij in die zeven jaar opnam, zijn Klute, Little Murders, The Godfather, Bad Company, Up the Sandbox, The Paper Chase, The Godfather Part II, The Parallax View, The Drowning Pool, All the President's Men en Annie Hall. Deze twaalf films waren samen goed voor 39 Academy Award-nominaties . De cinematografie van Gordon Willis werd echter in die tijd geen enkele maal genomineerd. Pas in 1984 werd hij voor het eerste genomineerd voor zijn camerawerk in Woody Allens film Zelig. Zijn tweede en laatste nominatie kreeg hij in 1991 voor de cinematografie van de film The Godfather Part III. In 1980 kroop hij zelf in de regiestoel en leverde hij de film Windows af. De film werd een enorme flop en Willis werd genomineerd voor de Gouden Framboos voor "slechtste regisseur". Willis is lid van de American Society of Cinematographers (ASC). In 1995 kreeg hij van die organisatie de Lifetime Achievement Award uitgereikt. (nl)

Willis é famoso por sua propensão de fotografar em condições extremamente escuras, por isso, recebeu o apelido de “O Príncipe da Escuridão”, atribuído a ele por seu amigo, Conrad Hall. Outra marca registrada de Gordon Willis é a preferência por filmar no horário mágico, pouco antes do crepúsculo do sol, quando o sol está fraco e cria um fulgor dourado. Willis criou o filtro de cor âmbar, para criar a sensação de imagem envelhecida, para a seqüência do jovem Vito, em “O Poderoso Chefão II – vários filmes posteriores, copiaram esta técnica cinematográfica, para demonstrar a época pré Segunda Guerra Mundial. Willis foi evitado pela academia por diversos anos, deixando de ganhar inúmeras indicações ao Oscar que tinham por este, outras interpretações. Ele recebeu duas indicações, uma por sua inventiva recriação fotográfica dos anos 20 em “Zelig” de Woody Allen e um deles, por sua participação em “O Poderoso Chefão III . (pt)
