Japanese-American cinematographer who photographed Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country for Nicholas Meyer, the final film to feature the complete cast of the original series.
Hiro Narita is a Japanese-American director of photography whose credits include Never Cry Wolf, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids and The Rocketeer.
He photographed Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country for the director Nicholas Meyer, released in 1991. Meyer again wanted a shadowy, claustrophobic Enterprise, and Narita lit the ship's corridors and bridge, many of them redressed sets from The Next Generation, in low and contrasting light. The film's other settings include the Klingon courtroom, the frozen penal colony of Rura Penthe and the peace conference at Camp Khitomer.
The zero-gravity assassination of Chancellor Gorkon aboard Kronos One is among the film's most distinctive sequences.
