Review Quotes

"Niko Tavernise. You don't notice him at first. That's the point. He moves like a ghost, something just outside your peripheral vision. Then--click. The shot is his. You never see it happen. You only see the proof later... This book is filled with those moments. The ones you weren't supposed to see. The ones that would have passed unnoticed, unmarked. But Niko was there. And so they remain." -Academy AwaAusin Butler, from his foreword

"This collection isn't just a behind-the-scenes look. It's a portrait of a world--seen through the eyes of someone who understood it completely." -Greig Fraser, Academy Award-Winning Cinematographer, from his preface
