Her

2013Pastel & SoftWarm & Nostalgic

The Cinematography

Hoyte van Hoytema created a near-future Los Angeles for Her that feels like the world seen through a warm filter of longing. The palette is built entirely on soft reds, peaches, corals, and cream — blues and greens are almost absent. Lighting is predominantly soft and diffused, giving skin a smooth, porcelain quality.
