From sixteen-time Academy Award nominee, two-time Academy Award winner, and five-time BAFTA honoree, Sir Roger Deakins—widely regarded as the greatest cinematographer of all time—a one-of-a-kind visual memoir, telling his life’s story by way of the iconic, beloved films he’s shot, including The Shawshank Redemption, Skyfall, Fargo, Blade Runner 2049, The Big Lebowski, 1917, and No Country for Old Men, among others.

Cinematography is both an art and science—capturing motion requires a combination of skill, ingenuity, and artistic genius. Lighting, camera movement, and framing are just a few of the important components in the process of turning words on a page into unforgettable moving images. It’s not hyperbole to say that Roger Deakins is the greatest artist & scientist that the craft of cinematography has ever known.

In REFLECTIONS: On Cinematography, Sir Roger Deakins offers his fans a one-of-a-kind look into his life and improbable road to Hollywood immortality. Readers will discover how “the boy from Torquay, England” overcame a troubled childhood to enter his way into art school; his fortuitous entry into world of documentary filmmaking (including a yacht race around the world); to shooting groundbreaking music videos such as Herbie Hancock’s “Rock It,” to his singular cinematography career, including his longtime collaborations with the Coen Brothers, Sam Mendes, and Denis Villeneuve. 

Filled with never-before-seen storyboards, sketches, and diagrams, Rogers shows readers how he created some of the most iconic scenes in the most beloved films of all time. Through candid, lyrical prose, Deakins reflects on each of his projects; how he helped shape them, and how they shaped him.

A truly unique visual memoir, film fans and general readers alike will find inspiration, beauty, and creativity by looking through the lens with which Roger views the world.
