This celebrates on the 24th May the 75th birthday of Sir Roger Deakins, who is a renowned cinematographer. He has won Oscars for Blade Runner 2049 in 2018 & 1917 in 2020 plus BAFTAs for both, but he had been nominated 13 times before winning:- for The Shawshank Redemption 1995, Fargo 1997, Kundun 1998, O Brother, Where Art Thou ? 2001, The Man Who Wasn’t There 2002 (won BAFTA), No Country For Old Men (won BAFTA) & The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford 2008, The Reader 2009, True Grit 2011 (won BAFTA), Skyfall 2013, Prisoners 2014, Unbroken 2015, Sicario 2016 and since the wins has been nominated again for Empire of Light 2023. Obviously his films are beautifully shot and he only shoots films with spherical lenses and adopts a simple lighting design with just one or two; he even operates the camera himself which is rare for cinematographers these days. He views cinematography as a collection of images rather than individual images. He has won cinematography awards all around the world, no less than 180 in total, which is a grand return for 88 films in his whole career. Born in Torquay, Devon and attended Torquay Boys Grammar School; originally graduated from college with the idea of making documentaries, and further back from that a painter when he enrolled in the Bath Academy of Art in Somerset; graduated from the UK’s National Film and Television School in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire after first being rejected, then accepted after he toured North Devon countryside for a year with his camera. In his early work as a cameraman he filmed the Whitbread Round-the-World yacht race for nine months on a yacht and also filmed documentaries in Zimbabwe, filming the Rhodesian Bush War, and Eritrea for the War of Independence there. He even now loves taking still photos and fishing. Was awarded the CBE in 2013 and knighted 2021. He lives with his wife in Kingswear, Devon and Santa Monica, California – keeps a boat in his hometown of Torquay from which he occasionally fishes. We believe him worthy of a match in his honour and hope you accept – if the numbers or ratings do not suit, then please make contact.
