Biography
Atsushi Nishijima, a Japanese photographer based in New York, is renowned for his still photography in films like Money Monster (2016), Poor Things (2023), and The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017). His most significant collaboration is with Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos, spanning nearly a decade since their first project, The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017).
