Stefan Duscio

The work of Australian cinematographer Stefan Duscio (b. 1981) is characterised by fluid camera movements and a masterful use of light. His authentic and innovative approach to cinematic naturalism has made him a highly regarded collaborator of directors Robert Connolly, Leigh Whannell, JD Dillard, and Mirrah Foulkes, with whom he has pushed the art of visual storytelling.

This year, Duscio won the Gold Tripod for Best Cinematography in a feature film for The Dry and the prestigious Milli Award for the ACS Australian Cinematographer of the Year, the highest award an Australian cinematographer can receive. The journey to adapt Jane Harper’s international bestseller The Dry was led by prolific Australian producer Bruna Papandrea (best known for Big Little Lies) and director Robert Connolly.

Duscio grew up in rural Australia and developed an early interest in photography and visual storytelling, studying Media Arts at RMIT University in Melbourne.
