If youre looking for more good female cinematographers, Uta Briesowitz is worth checking out...
Thanks for the heads up!
Also, for directors, I would recommend Mary Harron, Ildiko Enyedi, Claire Denis, and Julie Taymour
Thanks. I've barely thought about directors yet. I'm familiar with all you've mentioned except Enyedi.
