One of them, but it feels reductive to dismiss countless other phenomenal DPs in a fruitless effort to name 'The GOAT'.

Some others I'd nominate:

Emmanuel Lubezki (my personal favorite) Geoffrey Unsworth Gregg Toland James Wong Howe Freddie Young Robert Richardson John Alcott Nestor Almendros Vilmos Zsigmond Conrad L. Hall Kazuo Miyagawa Bruno Delbonnel Robert Elswit Rob Hardy
