His films include “Goodfellas” (1990), “Bram Stoker’s Dracula” (1992), “Gangs of New York” (2002) and “The Departed” (2006).
Ballhaus was nominated for three Best Cinematography Oscars for the film, “Broadcast News” (1987), “The Fabulous Baker Boys” (1989) and “Gangs of New York.”
He received a lifetime achievement award at the Berlin Film Festival in 2016.
