Thanks to Dune cinematographer Greig Fraser, we now have over a dozen gorgeous behind-the-scenes photos from the upcoming film.

Fraser spoke to Entertainment Weekly about pulling double duty on the film, capturing moments on the set in between framing shots for the movie. "I started photographing and I found it to be really rewarding because it became just a thing on set that no one really even knew when I was photographing," Fraser said. "What it did is it helped me focus." Check out 13 of Fraser's photos below:

"So while the director and actors are talking, I'm watching them talk and watching subtle little things happen, which ordinarily I wouldn't be tuned into if I wasn't in the act of taking a photograph," Fraser said of capturing the small moments between filming.

As the cinematographer, Fraser was also able to provide insight into the various lighting and design choices for the unique world of Dune, which all reflect the environment that the characters find themselves in.

"The overriding idea was that this sun is a killer. You can't be out in the sun for too long, or it'll destroy you," Fraser said. "So his concept, which I thought was brilliant, was that to get light into these places, he built light wells. What that means is you have the harsh sun coming in, but it's reflected and bouncing off all the stone. That allowed us to create powerful yet incredibly soft light. It was super interesting for me to light with that."

"We deliberately went against the idea of blue sky and yellow sand. We wanted to create a white sky and white sand," Fraser continued. "It's important for us to feel the hostility of this new planet. It's important that the camera, the visuals, and the colors make us feel like this is a waterless world."

Fraser previously worked on Zero Dark ThirtyRogue One, and episodes of The Mandalorian. After Dune, his next work as a director of photography will be on Warner Bros. The Batman. He's also scheduled to work on the sequel to Dune, assuming director Denis Villeneuve is able to make it.

Dune arrives in theaters and on HBO Max Oct. 22.
