Romain Lacourbas

Romain Lacourbas, born smack in the middle of Paris back in ‘77, has this knack for making stuff look absolutely stunning on screen. If you’ve ever caught yourself gawking at the visuals in “The Witcher” or getting lost in the gritty atmosphere of “ZeroZeroZero,” well, you’ve already seen his work in action. He’s not the type to chase the spotlight—he lets his camera do all the talking, honestly. There’s something about the way he frames a shot, the way he plays with light and shadow; it’s like he’s painting with the lens instead of just pointing it at things. People in the industry rave about his adaptability. One minute he’s pulling off sweeping, epic fantasy landscapes, the next he’s diving into the raw, pulse-pounding world of crime dramas. Not many cinematographers can flex like that, and it’s no wonder directors keep coming back for more. His upcoming project, “Ballerina” (set for 2025), is already buzzing with hype—folks are expecting something visually wild, no question. What’s cool is that even with all the big gigs, he’s kept that Parisian edge. Maybe it’s the city’s vibe that shaped how he sees the world, or maybe he just refuses to phone it in, no matter how big the production. Either way, Lacourbas keeps raising the bar. If you’re into movies where the visuals hit you first, his stuff is basically a masterclass.
