Download or read book Roger Deakins written by and published by Damiani Limited. This book was released on 2021-09 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Portraits and landscapes from the cinematographer famed for his work with Sam Mendes and the Coen brothers This is the first monograph by the legendary Oscar-winning cinematographer Sir Roger Deakins (born 1949), best known for his collaborations with directors such as the Coen brothers, Sam Mendes and Denis Villeneuve. It includes previously unpublished black-and-white photographs spanning five decades, from 1971 to the present. After graduating from college Deakins spent a year photographing life in rural North Devon, in Southwest England, on a commission for the Beaford Arts Centre; these images are gathered here for the first time and attest to a keenly ironic English sensibility, while also documenting a vanished postwar Britain. A second suite of images expresses Deakins' love of the seaside. Traveling for his cinematic work has allowed Deakins to photograph landscapes all over the world; in this third group of images, that same irony remains evident.

Book excerpt: Lydia (every woman, not a real person) writes her journal entries as she walks through the highways and byways of her lifetime journey from beginning to the midpoint to the unknown end. She seeks to understand that every day is an opportunity to create herself in Gods image. Her journey is not a straight highway but is made up of many choices, some made by others as well as those that are her own, and that will lead to journeys end. Some of those decisions are not knowingly made, but they either enrich, demean, or change the journey. Others demand the recognition that decisions and choices are very personal and take place within the very soul of the one on the journey. Captured within these choices is a person who has a relationship with the holy God, who seeks to find pathways that will show her where God would lead and guide her all along the lifetime journey.
