After starting out his career in documentaries, Roger Deakins became one of the few elite cinematographers of his generation, thanks in large part to his routine collaborations with filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen. Ever since his Oscar-nominated camerawork on “Barton Fink” (1991), Deakins filmed some of the most remarkable images recorded on celluloid. Whether conveying the sweeping grandeur of hope taking flight from prison walls in “The Shawshank Redemption” (1994), capturing the isolated, brittle snowscape of “Fargo” (1996), or putting on display the vibrant spirituality of Tibet in “Kundun”
