“Byways” is the first monograph by the legendary Oscar-winning cinematographer Sir Roger A. Deakins, known for his collaborations with directors such as the Coen brothers, Sam Mendes, and Denis Villeneuve. “Byways” features previously unpublished black-and-white photographs spanning five decades, from 1971 to the present. After graduating from university, Deakins spent a year photographing life in rural North Devon, in southwest England, as part of a commission for the Beaford Arts Centre; these images are gathered here for the first time and reveal a distinctly ironic English sensibility, while also documenting a vanished postwar Britain. A second series of images expresses Deakins’ love for the seaside. Travel for his film work has allowed Deakins to photograph landscapes around the world; in this third group of images, that same irony remains evident.
