==Biography==
Doyle was born in [[Sydney]], [[Australia]]. Having worked with Chinese directors like [[Wong Kar-wai]] (for which he contributed at least partially to the cinematography of all his movies from ''[[Days of Being Wild]]'' through to ''2046''), [[Zhang Yimou]], [[Edward Yang]], and [[Zhang Yuan]], Doyle is considered one of the best working cinematographers.

He himself has directed a feature film, '''''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0213469/ Away with Words]''''' (aka ''Kujaku'', aka ''San tiao ren'') set in [[Hong Kong]] and [[Okinawa]], starring [[Tadanobu Asano]] and [[Mavis Hee]], as well as a segment (''Porte de Choisy'') in the feature film ''[[Paris, je t'aime]]''.<ref>http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0401711/</ref>

Doyle is also an established photographer. While his Australian accent is still discernible when he speaks English, he does so with unusual intonations and stops, the result of speaking [[Standard Cantonese|Cantonese]] and [[Standard Mandarin|Mandarin]], in which he is fluent, for most of his adult life. He also speaks fluent French. His Chinese name is Du Ke Fung which means `like the wind'.<ref>http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0236313/bio</ref>

In the late 1970s, he went to [[Taiwan]] from [[Hong Kong]] and then settled in [[Taipei]]. He worked as an oil driller in [[India]], a cow herder in [[Israel]], and a doctor of [[Chinese medicine]] in [[Thailand]]. In 1978, he worked as a photographer for the [[Cloud Gate Dance Theatre]] and [[Zuni Icosahedron]]. In 1981, was a cinematographer for ''That Day, On the Beach'' directed by [[Edward Yang]]. For that film, Doyle won the Best Cinematography Award in the 1983 [[Asia-Pacific Film Festival]]. He now lives in Hong Kong.

His notable [[music video]] credits include "[[Six Days]]" for [[DJ Shadow]] (directed by Wong Kar-wai), [[The Strokes]]' "[[Juicebox (song)|Juicebox]]" (directed by [[Michael Palmieri]]) and "Getaway" by the Scottish group [[Texas (band)|Texas]] (directed by [[Tim Royes]]).
