Michael Fimognari
American cinematographer Michael Fimognari is best known for his dramatic lighting and lensing of feature films, notably BEAUTIFUL BOY, which won the International Critics Prize at the 2010 Toronto Film Festival; and AU REVOIR TAIPEI, which won Best Asian Film at the 2010 Berlin Film Festival.

He has collaborated with numerous Oscar, BAFTA and Golden Globe winners and nominees, including Maria Bello and Michael Sheen (BEAUTIFUL BOY); Melissa Leo and Brendan Gleeson (BLACK IRISH); Willem Dafoe (TOMORROW YOUÂ’RE GONE); and Chazz Palminteri (YONKERS JOE).  His recent releases include 96 MINUTES (Brittany Snow); BROTHERHOOD (Trevor Morgan), which won the Audience Award at SxSW 2010; and DARE (Emmy Rossum) which premiered in Competition at Sundance 2009.

His cinematography has been described as “gorgeously textured” (NPR on BEAUTIFUL BOY); and “imaginative” (The Hollywood Reporter on DARE); and Variety named him one of 2011’s “talented artisans rising up the ranks.”  Among his awards, he received the ASC-sponsored Abe Schrager Cinematography Award from the Domani Vision Film Society for LEAVE; the Best Cinematography Award from the Hamptons Film Festival for FIGHTING TOMMY RILEY; and a Heritage Award Commendation from the American Society of Cinematographers for ISSAQUENA.

Based in Los Angeles, Fimognari is a member of the International Cinematographers Guild and is represented at WME by Jasan Pagni, Devin Mann and Holly Jeter (features); and Shari Shankewitz and Stacey Karp (commercials).
