Vittorio Storaro: Cinematographer vs. Director of Photography

From American Cinematographer, Master of Light and Motion interview by Bob Fisher (June 1998)

AC:Why do you prefer the title of "cinematographer" to "director of photography" in the credits?

Storaro: Because we aren't directing. That is Warren's job. We are writing with light and motion to tell a story. That distinction is very important.
