Vadim Yusov

Vadim Ivanovich Yusov (Вадим Иванович Юсов, 20 April 1929 – 23 August 2013) was a Soviet and Russian cinematographer and professor at the Gerasimov Institute of Cinematography. He was known for his collaborations with Andrei Tarkovsky on The Steamroller and the Violin, Ivan's Childhood, Andrei Rublev and Solaris, and with Georgiy Daneliya on Walking the Streets of Moscow, Don't Grieve, Hopelessly Lost and Passport. He won a number of Nika Awards and Golden Osella for Ivan Dykhovichny's The Black Monk at the Venice International Film Festival in 1988.

He was a member of the jury at the 1984 Cannes Film Festival and the 45th Berlin International Film Festival in 1995.

"As a cameraman, I deal with the atmosphere, but the reason for this is always the plot, the drama [...] These concepts cannot be opposed, cannot be separated, since one simply does not exist without the other."
