DARIUSZ WOLSKI (Director of Photography) returns for his third tour of “Pirates” duty following his acclaimed work on both “The Curse of the Black Pearl” and “Dead Man's Chest.” Prior to that he also showcased his talents for director Gore Verbinski on “The Mexican,” starring Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt.
Wolski has collaborated with several notable directors, including Andrew Davis on “A Perfect Murder”; Alex Proyas on “Dark City” and the cult favorite “The Crow”; Peter Medak's “Romeo is Bleeding;” John Polson's “Hide and Seek”; as well as with Tony Scott on “The Fan” and the Don Simpson-Jerry Bruckheimer production “Crimson Tide.” For his work on the controversial, highly acclaimed “Crimson Tide,” he garnered an ASC Award nomination for Outstanding Achievement in Cinematography.
Born in Warsaw, Poland, Wolski attended the Film School in Lodz. After emigrating to the United States in 1979, he worked on documentaries, industrials and smaller independent films.
His first big break came in 1986 on the film “Heart” when he was asked to replace the cinematographer who moved on to work on another project. Soon after, Wolski moved to Los Angeles where he worked as a director of photography on music videos and commercials for such directors as Alex Proyas, David Fincher, Tony Scott and Jake Scott. He went on to work on the Roger Corman-produced feature “Nightfall” and on the PBS American Playhouse production of “Land of Little Rain.”
Wolski's next project is Tim Burton's “Sweeney Todd,” which re-unites him once again with Johnny Depp.
