The sheer number of excellent films Roger Deakins has shot
since his career began in the late 1970s is impressive by
any standard. He is one of the most celebrated cameramen in
Hollywood, and a regular collaborator with Joel and Ethan
Coen. Deakins has worked with some of the most interesting
directors in the business, including David Mamet, Mike Figgis,
Frank Darabont, John Sayles and Martin Scorsese. His most
recent work can be seen in the Oscar-winning film, A Beautiful
Mind, as well as the Coens' The Man Who Wasn't There.
