Team Deakins Book Signing & Conversation

BYWAYS, Roger Deakins' first-ever monograph (Damiani, 2021), includes previously unpublished personal black-and-white stills that reflect a life spent looking and telling stories through images, from 1971 to the present. After graduating from college, Roger spent a year photographing life in rural North Devon on a commission for the Beaford Arts Centre; these images attest to a keenly ironic English sensibility, and also serve as a record of a time and place of vanished post-war Britain.

 

James & Roger Deakins

Although photography has remained one of Roger’s few hobbies, more often it is an excuse for him to spend hours just walking, his camera over his shoulder, with no particular purpose but to observe. Some of the images in this book, such as those from Rapa Nui, New Zealand and Australia, he took whilst traveling with his life and creative partner James. Others are images that caught his eye as walked on a weekend, or catching the last of the light at the end of a day’s filming whilst working on projects in cities such as Berlin or Budapest, on SICARIO in New Mexico, SKYFALL in Scotland and in England on 1917.

HIFF is honored to present this book signing and conversation with the Academy Award winning Team Deakins at da Shop in Kaimuki.
