Adam Frish (Swedish Society of Cinematographers) reported his passing early this morning on cinematography.com

Another taken away far too young - only 55.

RIP

Horrible news. I truly loved his work, such an eclectic list. Birth is one of the most beautifully shot films of the past 10 years, IMO. RIP.

The industry has lost what I would consider to be one of the top 5 working cinematographers. His work on Zodiac, The Yards, Birth and The Game is really something special and I have tried to imitate his moody lighting on a number of occasions. RIP Harris. What a shame, first Tony and now Harris.

Slashfilm has a great article about his career: http://www.slashfilm.com/cinematogr...shot-zodiac-the-game-and-milk-has-died-at-55/
