Was David Cronenberg's regular cinematographer until 1988, when he was unavailable to shoot Faux-semblants (1988) because he was already committed to Le Blob (1988). Irwin has not worked with Cronenberg since then.
[About filming Voisin contre voisin (2006)] There is something very Canadian about shooting Japanese film stock in an Austrian camera with a German movement, French zooms and English primes with an Italian fluid head on top of an American dolly in a Canadian tent filled with paper snow made in England.
