He completed a degree in architecture at the University of Auckland, but subsequently moved into the film industry.

Biography

Installé dans sa jeunesse en Nouvelle-Zélande, Stuart Dryburgh débute au cinéma comme chef opérateur sur un premier film néo-zélandais sorti en 1987. Suivent notamment trois réalisations de Jane Campion, dont La Leçon de piano (1993, avec Holly Hunter et Harvey Keitel), ainsi que L'Âme des guerriers de Lee Tamahori (1994, avec Rena Owen et Temuera Morrison).

Établi ultérieurement aux États-Unis, il contribue ainsi aux films américains — ou en coproduction — Mafia Blues d'Harold Ramis (1999, avec Robert De Niro et Billy Crystal), Le Journal de Bridget Jones de Sharon Maguire (2001, avec Renée Zellweger et Colin Firth), Le Voile des illusions de John Curran (2006, avec Naomi Watts et Edward Norton) et La Vie rêvée de Walter Mitty de Ben Stiller (2013, avec le réalisateur et Kristen Wiig).

Le dernier de sa trentaine de films à ce jour est Gifted de Marc Webb (avec Chris Evans et Jenny Slate), dont la sortie est prévue courant 2017.

Pour la télévision, à ce jour, il travaille sur six séries à partir de 1989, dont les épisodes pilotes de Sex and the City (1998), Boardwalk Empire (2010) et American Odyssey (2015). S'ajoute le téléfilm Embrouille à Poodle Springs de Bob Rafelson (1998, avec James Caan et Dina Meyer).

Au nombre des distinctions reçues à ce jour (voir sélection ci-dessous), mentionnons une nomination en 1994 à l'Oscar de la meilleure photographie (qu'il ne gagne pas), pour le film précité La Leçon de piano.
