“That bond between a director and cinematographer is special,” he says. “Having that collaboration is the most important factor to me. When I have that, whatever I’m working on can really come alive, no matter the content. And then we have the connection to the audience, and that’s the magic of storytelling.“

“Few shows shift tone as much as Atlanta did in its second season. Earn (Donald Glover), Alfred "Paper Boi" (Brian Tyree Henry) and Darius (Lakeith Stanfield) all reappear in a story arc that feels a lot like dread. For returning cinematographer Christian Sprenger it meant developing new color treatments, framing rules and visual styles that reflected the storyline's darker mood.”

“It’s made with care and precision — cinematographer Christian Sprenger, who also works on “Atlanta” and shot on grainy 16mm, is the absolute MVP — but there isn’t much content behind the craft for anyone who isn’t already a Glover superfan.”

”In this edition of the Art of the Shot, I had to opportunity to talk to “Atlanta” Director of Photography Christian Sprenger. The FX show starring Donald Glover is about two cousins, with different views on art versus commerce, as they work their way through the Atlanta rap scene.”
