James Ellis Deakins is Roger Deakins' creative work partner. Aer beginning her career as a film lab technician and a production script supervisor, she met Roger on a film set and their creative collabora- tion began. She and Roger developed a unique working style which has continued to evolve as they enter into new enterprises including a podcast ("Team Deakins"), a website, Byways (a book of still pho- tography), and Reflections (a visual memoir).
