He went on to build a reputation through his work on films such as "Small Faces," which won the Edinburgh Film Festival Best British Movie award; "The Full Monty"; and "Hideous Kinky," for which he was recognized with an award for Best Technical/Artistic Achievement at the Evening Standard British Film Awards. A Best Cinematography nomination at the 2001 Independent Spirit Awards followed for "Hamlet."

In 2007, de Borman was nominated for a Best Photography & Lighting BAFTA for his work on "Tsunami: The Aftermath." In 2009, de Borman won the World Cinema Cinematography Award at Sundance for his work on "An Education," for which he was also nominated for the BSC Best Cinematography Award. The film itself won the Spirit Award for Best Foreign Movie and Sundance Audience Award. He worked on "Made in Dagenham" in 2010, "Quartet" in 2012, and 2013's "Half of a Yellow Sun."
