Attests to a keenly ironic English sensibility, and also serves as
a record of a time and place of vanished post-war Britain.--
"L'Oeil de la Photographie"
His command of light and eye for composition is as evident in his
snapshots as it is in his cinematography.--Chris Lindahl
"Indiewire"
Quintessentially poignant in grainy shades of greys, Deakins'
photography evokes a simultaneous sensibility of dreamy surrealism
and hardened human nature.--Sunny Sunday "Provokr"
He has a real knack for situating people or other objects (like the
crosses in that image) within space. It's meant as a compliment to
both Deakins the photographer and Deakins the cinematographer to
say that so many of these images could be mistaken for film
stills.--Mark Feeney "Boston Globe"
It may be the purest distillation of Deakins's vision--stark,
plaintive, and reverent of land and light--we ever get.--Taylor
Dafoe "Artnet"
