Bakatakis again employed his fixed-camera approach to cinematography in '' L' ' , the 2012 directorial debut of Babis Makridis , which premiered at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival . Also in 2012 , he shot the drama film '' Keep the Lights On '' , directed by Ira Sachs . Sachs praised Bakatakis for " shooting sex better than anyone else working today ... For Thimios , sex is just a part of life . The camera does n't have to shoot it any different than a dinner scene or a birthday party . " Eric Kohn of '' IndieWire '' praised the film 's " visual polish " , noting Bakatakis ' " warm palette that 's particularly evocative during the bedroom scenes , when deep yellows appear to manifest the characters ’ state of mind . " Film critic Justin Chang similarly praised the use of colour , saying that " bathing the men 's bodies in a golden , soft-edged light warmly captured by Thimios Bakatakis ' Super 16 photography , Sachs folds his characters in what feels like a tenderly protective embrace " . Two years later , he served as cinematographer for the Eskil Vogt-directed '' Blind '' . Scott Foundas of '' Variety '' praised Bakatakis , amongst other crew members , for their " invaluable contributions " , calling Bakatakis a " great Greek director of photography " .
