From a two-time Academy Award winner widely regarded as the greatest cinematographer of all time—a one-of-a-kind visual memoir, telling his life's story by way of his iconic, beloved films.

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.
Over the course of a brilliant 50-year career, Sir Roger Deakins has proven to be the greatest artist & visionary that the craft of cinematography has ever known.

In Reflections: On Cinematography, Deakins offers his fans and film enthusiasts 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 film 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 his life and each of his projects; how he helped shape them, and how they shaped him.

A truly unique visual memoir, Reflections is for film fans and general readers alike, and for anyone looking to find inspiration, beauty, and creativity by looking through the singular lens with which Roger views the world.
