Squid Game cinematographer Lee Hyung-deok discusses the unconventional but familiar approaches to visual language in Netflix’s Emmy®-nominated drama series, the use of contrast and emphasis with wider shots and close-ups, tricks of light employed along the way and the differentiating of the “real” and “game” worlds as well.
