BYWAYS. Photographs by Roger A Deakins by Roger Deakins

The real charm of Byways isn't playing spot-the-location as Deakins dabbles between takes, but the window it opens onto his youthful eye. This book by Damiani has breathtaking landscapes and moments of stillness, interspersed with photographs imbued with wit thanks to the playful possibilities of scale, framing and timing. It's the kind of dry humour that sits passers-by in conversation with monuments and miscellaneous objects in the street or captures a canine rendition of Cartier-Bresson's seminal image Behind The Gare Saint-Lazare.
