So was reminded today that Seamus McGarvey will serve as cinematographer for Greta Gerwig’s Narnia adaptation, and wanted to open up a discussion about what we think of this choice and what it might mean for the visual style of the films. McGarvey is a two-time Oscar nominee and one of the most versatile DPs working today. Here's some of his previous work;

Atonement (2007); https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YyPHRWfvsE

Anna Karenina (2012); https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFEaRzntBqw

The Greatest Showman (2017); https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cw6k4X_I44s

Given Gerwig’s evolving directorial style and McGarvey’s visual range, it feels like Narnia might end up more lyrical and painterly than previous adaptations, with room for both emotional intimacy and grand fantasy scale. Which of McGarvey’s past works feels most “Narnia-like” to you? Are there visual styles or scenes you’d love to see brought to life in a particular way? And how do you think he might approach Narnia?
