Jeff Cronenweth, ASC on David Fincher, Fight Club, growing up in Hollywood, music videos, Mark Romanek, One Hour Photo, Gone Girl, The Social Network and the new Amazon series Tales from the Loop

Jeff Cronenweth comes from three generations in the film business
and followed his father, cinematographer Jordan Cronenweth (Blade
Runner) into a career as a director of photography. Growing up on
film sets and working alongside his father enabled Jeff to take a
hands-on role in the camera department. He started as a loader and
camera assistant, getting into the union while attending USC. He
met David Fincher while working on the Madonna music video "Oh
Father" as a camera assistant. Fincher gave Jeff his first
opportunity to DP for the film Fight Club. Jeff's collaboration
with Fincher later earned him two Oscar nominations- one for The
Social Network and one for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. He also
began working with director Mark Romanek on music videos, such as
Eels “Novocaine for the Soul” and Nine Inch Nails' “The Perfect
Drug.” Jeff and Romanek also worked together on the feature film,
One Hour Photo starring Robin Williams. The film presented many
lighting challenges since the bulk of it takes place inside a store
with flat white lights before the darker undertones of the movie
are revealed. Jeff also shot the pilot for Tales from the Loop with
director Mark Romanek, streaming now on Amazon Prime.
