Who was the cinematographer for Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City?

The story behind the answer

Robert Yeoman was the cinematographer for Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City.

Yeoman has been Anderson’s principal director of photography for much of the filmmaker’s career. Their collaboration began with Bottle Rocket and continued through films including Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, Moonrise Kingdom, The Grand Budapest Hotel, and Asteroid City.

Asteroid City uses distinct visual formats for its different storytelling levels. The black-and-white television framing sequences contrast with the widescreen color imagery of the fictional desert play. Yeoman’s cinematography helps make those shifts clear to viewers.

His name is sometimes written with a middle initial in databases, but the credited cinematographer is Robert Yeoman. Bruno Delbonnel photographed The French Dispatch, making him a nearby but incorrect Anderson-related answer.
