Guillermo Navarro

Guillermo Navarro is a long-standing collaborator of director Guillermo Del Toro and he most recently competed production on Del Toro's Pacific Rim, to be released Summer 2013.  Navarro has shot almost all of Del Toro's films since Cronos, (with the exception of Mimic and Blade II,) and the projects include The Devil's Backbone, Hellboy II: The Golden Army, Hellboy, and Pan's Labyrinth, for which Navarro won an Oscar® for Best Achievement in Cinematography.

He draws on an endlessly rich palette, in perfect accord with the worlds created by Del Toro in Cronos, which won the Critics Award at the 1993 Cannes Film Festival and was the official Mexican entry for Best Foreign Film at the Academy Awards®.

In addition to his collaborations with Del Toro, Navarro has also worked as cinematographer on several films by another compatriot, Robert Rodriguez, including Desperado, From Dusk till Dawn, and Spy Kids.

His other credits include Quentin Tarantino's Jackie Brown, Renny Harlin's The Long Kiss Goodbye, Rob Minkoff's Stuart Little, Mark Dippé's Spawn, Jon Favreau's Zathura, and Shawn Levy's "Night at the Museum.  Navarro, who began his career filming documentaries in South America, also shot the Emmy®-nominated National Geographic special "Lost Kingdoms of the Maya."

The Latino International Film Festival (LALIFF) honored Navarro with its GABI Lifetime Achievement Award.  Navarro has also won the Goya Award, the Independent Spirit Award, the New York Film Critics Society Award, and the Golden Frog of Cameraimage in Poland.
