Today, we’re excited to share our conversation with cinematographer Peter James (MAO’S LAST DANCER, BLACK ROBE, DRIVING MISS DAISY) on the latest episode of the Team Deakins Podcast. Peter, having lived his whole life with dyslexia, shares his process for actually reading a script, and we discuss how the condition influenced his affinity with photography. We also compare experiences working with directors who don’t like to plan against those who do, and we discuss balancing equipment options. Towards the end, we conduct some forensics on Peter’s IMDb page, and we reflect on the power of the inverse-square law.⁠ ⁠ We hope you enjoy listening!⁠ -⁠ Recommended Viewing: BLACK ROBE⁠ -⁠ This episode is sponsored by Aputure⁠ Instagram: aputure.lighting⁠ -⁠ #teamdeakins #rogerdeakins #rogeradeakins #sirRoger #bywaysBook #jamesellisdeakins #teamdeakinspodcast #peterJames #cinematographer #cinematography #stillPhotography #visualarts
