Which cinematographer shot the 2026 film Michael?

Dion Beebe was the cinematographer of the 2026 film Michael.

Beebe was responsible for photographing the film, which dramatizes Michael Jackson’s rise from his childhood with the Jackson 5 through the late 1980s. His work helped shape the visual presentation of both musical performances and the period settings used to recreate Jackson’s early career.

Robert Richardson was initially hired as the cinematographer, but he left the project before filming to work on Quentin Tarantino’s The Movie Critic. Richardson’s departure is a common source of confusion because he was connected with the production during its development. Beebe ultimately handled the principal photography, which took place in California from January 22 to May 30, 2024.
