Roger A Deakins Byways Limited Edition

A special edition of Deakins' first-ever monograph, reproduced in a limited run of 50, each including a signed and numbered print

After graduating from college, British cinematographer Roger Deakins (born 1949) spent a year photographing life in rural North Devon, in Southwest England, on a commission for the Beaford Arts Centre; these images are gathered here and attest to a keenly ironic English sensibility, while also documenting a vanished postwar Britain. A second suite of images expresses Deakins' love of the seaside. Traveling for his cinematic work has allowed Deakins to photograph landscapes all over the world; in the third group of images, that same irony remains evident.
This special edition, limited to just 50 copies, includes the monograph as well as a print signed and numbered by Deakins: The Joy of Flight, Teignmouth, 2000, 6 x 9 inches. Deakins' signature also figures on the bookplate applied to the front endpaper of the book.
