(DEAKINS, ROGER A.). Deakins, Roger A.. Bologna, ITALY: Damiani Editore, 2021. 4to. Pictorial Boards. Photography Monograph. As New/No Jacket - As Issued. 88-6208-751-9
160pp, 155 duotone illustrations. "Byways" is the first monograph on the photographic work of iconic Oscar-winning cinematographer Sir Roger A. Deakins. Beautifully designed and produced by Bologna's Damiani Editore, it presents one hundred and fifty-five previously unpublished black and white photographs spanning five decades, from 1971 to the present.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 Southwest England's rural North Devon 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 vanishing postwar Britain. A second suite of images expresses Deakins' love of the seaside. The book's third - and final - collection is of landscapes photographed all over the world while traveling for his cinematic work, in which that same irony remains evident".
