Check out The Force Awakens Cinematographer Dan Mindel’s Amazing Photos

Cinematographer Dan Mindel worked with J.J. Abrams on the reboot for Star Trek, and again on Star Trek: Into Darkness, and even as eagerly anticipated as those films were to Trekkies the world over, his work on The Force Awakens was going to be scrutinized to a degree an order of magnitude higher. Now that the film has been a critical and commercial smash, Mindel's released a few photos from behind-the-scenes of the shoot. If you haven't seen the film yet, don't bother—there are a few too many juicy tidbits you could glean from what follows. But if you have, feast your eyes on Mindels' Instagram account, which includes great shots like this beaut of Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) and Finn (John Boyega) engaged in their climatic light saber duel in a snowy forest on the Starkiller base.
