Cinematographer Roger Deakins is a “master of the lens” who brings a photographer’s fluency in light, composition and depth to some of the most memorable imagery in cinema. You may have seen his work in “Blade Runner 2049,” the 007 installment “Skyfall,” and nearly all the Coen Brothers films. 

Recently, he and his wife, James Ellis Deakins, released a book of Roger Deakins’ still photography in a collection called “Byways.” 

“Team Deakins,” as they’re sometimes known, will be in Atlanta for a discussion about the book and a film screening, “The Man Who Wasn’t There,” on Tuesday, Dec. 5, at 7 p.m. at the Plaza Theatre.
