Jeff B. Harmon At War

Photograph 12 of 32

The next day, Bobby Richardson proves he’s as reckless as I am when it comes to filming combat. Alongside Atonal troops we cross a river under fire. Bullets are skimming the water inches away. We cross a field and make it safely to a shelter of boulders.

Bobby realizes he’s lost his orange filter on our dash across the field. Bobby is adamant, so I go back with him across the field, both of us guerrilla targets.

Robert Richardson is now one of Hollywood’s top cinematographers and has won three Oscars. – Jeff B. Harmon directing Robert Richardson during the making of The Front Line
