Kłosiński, Edward

(1943-)

   Since the early 1970s, Kłosiński has belonged to a group of the most prominent Polish cinematog-raphers. He photographed Andrzej Wajda's seminal films, such as The Promised Land (1975), Man of Marble (1977), and Man of Iron (1981), and a number of Krzysztof Zanussi's films, including Illumination (1973), Camouflage (1977), and Life as a Fatal Sexually Transmitted Disease (2000). He also worked as a cinema-tographer on such canonical films as Feliks Falk's Top Dog (1978), Janusz Zaorski's The Mother of Kings (1982/1987), and Krzysztof Kieslowski's Decalogue 2 (1988) and Three Colors: White (1994). In the 1990s, he photographed several foreign films; for example, he was a co-cinematographer of Lars von Trier's Europa (1991). In recent years, Kłosiński also worked with Jerzy Stuhr (One Week from the Life of a Man, 1999), Juliusz Machulski (Vinci, 2004), and Marek Koterski (We All Are Christs, 2006).
