CHARLOTTE ON SIR ROGER &
JAMES ELLIS DEAKINS
“What an extraordinary honour to interview the legendary Sir Roger Deakins, CBE, ASC, BSC and his creative partner James Ellis Deakins.
They are the creative force behind some of our best-loved and most iconic movies. Their artistic union is built on a passion for creating compelling cinema and their emotionally rich images unveil the very heart of the story. No wonder distinguished directors like The Coen Brothers, Denis Villeneuve, and Sir Sam Mendes choose to work with them time and again.
I was blown away by their insights into the creative journey behind The Man Who Wasn’t There. We then went on to discuss Byways, Roger’s debut photography book featuring black-and-white photos spanning five decades. With luminous images of North Devon farms, British seaside towns and the deserts outside Albuquerque, the collection testifies to his remarkable artistic gaze.”
