Hoyte van Hoytema

Hoyte Van Hoytema photographed director Mikael Marcimain's acclaimed "Call Girl," for which he won a Guldbagge Award, the Swedish Film Institute's highest honor, and Tomas Alfredson's dramatic thriller "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy," for which he earned numerous accolades, including nominations from the BAFTA Awards and the American Society of Cinematographers. In 2010, he worked with David O. Russell on the Oscar®-nominated biographical drama "The Fighter."

Van Hoytema received the Kodak Nordic Vision Award for Best Cinematography at the Göteborg Film Festival and his first Guldbagge Award, among other honors, for his earlier collaboration with Tomas Alfredson, "Let the Right One In," in 2008.  He followed that in 2009 with a second Guldbagge for his cinematography on Fredrik Edfeldt's family drama "The Girl," originally titled "Flickan," and, that same year, was cited by Variety as one of its "10 Cinematographers to Watch."

Born in Switzerland, Van Hoytema studied at the National Film School in Lodz, Poland. In Sweden, he served as director of photography on a host of commercials, documentaries and miniseries.  In addition to his association with Alfredson, he has worked multiple times with director Mikael Marcimain, including the award-winning Swedish miniseries "The Laser Man" and "How Soon is Now."
