Prieto is noted for his unconventional use of the camera often combined with strong moody lighting. In ''25th Hour'', Prieto utilized overexposure and other techniques to create original dream-like images to signify that the events shown on screen are memories or visions. Similarly innovative photography could be spotted in ''[[Frida (2002 film)|Frida]]'', featuring strong colors and sharp imagery blended with atmospheric yellows and browns, as well as his experimental use of infrared during a battle scene in ''[[Alexander (2004 film)|Alexander]]''. Prieto also is interested in evoking naturalism, most evident in ''[[The Homesman]]'' and ''[[Brokeback Mountain]]''.<ref>{{cite web|author=Paula Bernstein |url=http://www.indiewire.com/article/the-homesman-dp-rodrigo-prieto-on-working-with-tommy-lee-jones-and-reinventing-the-western-20141024 |title='The Homesman' DP Rodrigo Prieto on Working with Tommy Lee Jones and Reinventing The Western |publisher=IndieWire |date=2014-10-24 |access-date=2017-04-25}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theasc.com/magazine/nov04/alexander/page2.html |title=American Cinematographer: Alexander |publisher=Theasc.com |access-date=2017-04-25}}</ref> Prieto not only shot ''Brokeback Mountain'', for which he was nominated for an [[Academy Award for Best Cinematography]], but appeared in a cameo role within the film as a Mexican gigolo whom [[Jake Gyllenhaal]]'s character, [[Jack Twist]], meets.
