Life and career

Ben Seresin was born Benjamin Paul Seresin to a Russian father and a New Zealand mother.[1] At the age of 18, he moved to Australia to enter the film industry.[1] After serving as a camera assistant for four years, he moved to the United Kingdom, where he has lived since 1992.[1] For his work on Unstoppable, he was nominated for the Satellite Award for Best Cinematography in 2010.[3]

Seresin described his approach to his work as "detached". “As a DP, you have to learn to both trust your eye and to be brave enough to say to the director ‘This is the wrong decision’".[4]

He has been a member of both the British Society of Cinematographers and American Society of Cinematographers since the early 2010s.[5]

gollark: What I don't like is when people go from "hmm yes I dislike this" to "this person clearly must be prevented from sharing opinions anywhere".
gollark: See, that's unreasonable, getting angry at people is fine.
gollark: I will probably, to some amount of personal cost, defend people's right to say things I dislike, but that doesn't mean I have to agree with them or particularly support said things.
