Benjamin Kracun

Born in May 1981, Benjamin Kracun isn't just some random dude with a camera—he's the guy behind the lens for some seriously bold films. You might’ve heard his name floating around after “Promising Young Woman” hit screens in 2020. That flick? Yeah, it had people talking for weeks, months even. Kracun’s got this wild way of making a story feel all kinds of raw and intimate, like you’re almost intruding on something private. That’s not an accident. The guy’s got style, and a knack for picking projects that don’t just fade into the background noise. Then there’s “Beast” from 2017, which brought this whole gritty, edge-of-your-seat vibe. Not your average pretty shots, but more like peeking through a keyhole at something tense and dangerous—credit where it’s due, that’s Kracun’s fingerprints all over it. Fast-forward to 2024, and you get “The Substance.” People were hyped, and honestly, he didn’t disappoint. The visuals? Bonkers. He’s not just sticking to the old tricks either; you can tell he’s leveling up every time, experimenting, making his visuals punch harder. What’s cool about Kracun, he’s not about the glitz. His work feels lived-in, messy, real. He understands how light and shadow can mess with your head, make you feel something you weren’t expecting. Directors want him because he brings guts to a project, not just pretty frames. So, yeah, Benjamin Kracun—cinematographer, director, risk-taker. The kind of guy whose next project you keep an eye out for, just to see what weird, beautiful thing he does next.
