Rogier Stoffers

Stoffers was born in the municipality of Utrecht in the Netherlands, and studied French, and film and Theatre sciences, at Utrecht University, before being accepted into the Cinematography program at the Netherlands Film Academy. He was brought under the wing of director Mike van Diem, with whom he collaborated on the critically acclaimed crime drama Character, which won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

After relocating to the United States, he shot the Academy Award-nominated period drama Quills, and the Denzel Washington-starring thriller film John Q. He has since shot numerous well-received mainstream films including Masked and Anonymous, School of Rock, and The Secret Life of Bees, collaborating with directors like Michael Apted, Richard Linklater, Neil LaBute, Ivan Reitman and Eli Roth. His work on the HBO biopic Hemingway & Gellhorn earned him a nomination for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Cinematography for a Limited Series or Movie.
