Even still, Roger Deakins has a zeal for photography
LOS ANGELES — What does one of the world's most sought-after cinematographers do to relax when he's not scouting, planning or shooting a movie? He takes still photographs, of course.
"It's just me and my camera. I'm not under stress, under pressure of a schedule or anything," says two-time Oscar winner and 15-time nominee Roger Deakins.
"It's my excuse to be out there just observing the world. When I was a teenager, I toyed with the idea of becoming a photojournalist, and then I segued into National Film School and documentary filmmaking. But yeah, when I wander around, I take a camera, and it's just relaxation. I mean, I love images."
Deakins' two current projects are as personal as can be — one to him: a book of 50 years' worth of his black-and-white
