Career Though having worked mostly with American indie films in the end of the 1990s and early 2000s, he shot his first native Ecuadorian film Crónicas in 2004.
In 2007, he shot the horror film 28 Weeks Later, which impressed executive producer Danny Boyle, prompting him to hire Chediak to shoot 127 Hours, while sharing a credit with Boyle's usual cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle. This allowed Boyle and the cast work long days without wearing out the crew. Both cinematographers earned multiple accolades, including a nomination for BAFTA Award for Best Cinematography.
