Early life
Hoyte van Hoytema was born in Horgen on 4 October 1971, the son of Dutch parents. The family returned to the Netherlands shortly after his birth. He later moved to Poland to study at Łódź Film School.
Career
Van Hoytema's work as a cinematographer includes Let the Right One In (2008), The Fighter (2010), Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011), Her (2013), the James Bond film Spectre (2015), Ad Astra (2019), and Nope (2022). His collaborations with directors Mikael Marcimain, Tomas Alfredson, and Christopher Nolan have earned him critical acclaim; his collaborations with Nolan include Interstellar (2014), Dunkirk (2017), Tenet (2020), and Oppenheimer (2023).

He is a member of the American Society of Cinematographers, the Swedish Society of Cinematographers, and the Netherlands Society of Cinematographers.
Personal life
Van Hoytema has said of his birthplace and family, "I'm not really affiliated with Switzerland. I'm born there, that is all. My parents were there very briefly. They are both from Holland. I'm Dutch, but it has been over 20 years since I was in Holland. What has been important for my career has taken place in Sweden. I have a Swedish wife and a Swedish daughter, and I feel adopted by Sweden. I feel most connected to Sweden."
