His other films include Daniel Barber's Harry Brown, starring Michael Caine, and The Countess, starring its writer/director Julie Delpy. In 2007, Variety named Mr. Ruhe one of its "10 Cinematographers to Watch."
He also shoots commercials around the world for clients including for Audi, Ikea, and Comcast.
