Christopher Doyle (born in 1952 in Sydney, Australia; Chinese name: 杜可風) is an Australian cinematographer and member of the HKSC.
He has worked with leading Chinese directors such as Wong Kar-wai, Zhang Yimou and Zhang Yuan. He directed a feature film, Away with Words (aka Kujaku, aka San tiao ren) set in Hong Kong and Okinawa, starring Asano Tadanobu.
His style as a Director of Photography is quite unique. Despite quite a number of Hollywood-style work he is often using extreme angles, distinctive use of filters and vanguard color grading. He is also an established photographer, known for his drinking habits and as well as his dry wit.
