Philippe Rousselot is a Director of the photography French, born in 1945 in Meurthe-et-Moselle (France).

After having made its studies of cinema to the Ecole Louis Lumière, which it leaves graduate in 1966, promotion - inter alia - of François About, Eduardo Serra, No5el Very, or Jean-François Robin (to which it will entrust, thirty years later, the photograph of the Baiser Snake ), it begins his career as assistant of Nestor Almendros, then imposes themselves like quickly like Chef operator and knows a fulgurating career. He collaborated in particular with Jean-Jacques Beineix ( Diva ), Alain Cavalier ( Therese which is worth a first César to him) Jean-Jacques Annaud ( the Bear ), Robert Redford ( And in the medium runs a river for which he is oscarized), Stephen Frears ( dangerous Connections ), Patrice Chéreau ( the Queen Margot thanks to which he obtains a second César), Bertrand Blier ( Merci the life ) or Tim Burton ( the Planet of the monkeys , Big Fish , Charlie and the Chocolate factory ).

With Diva of Beinex, it largely takes part to affirm photographic esthetics like central element of the filmic process and devotes a light " with effet" , creating an atmosphere atemporelle, almost unreal, which will be its trademark as in films of Bertrand Blier. It was tested with the realization in 1997 with " The Kiss of Serpent".
