Roger Deakins is a cinematographer who filmed for True Grit and Skyfall. He also was one of the visual consultants for Pixar's animated film Wall-E and Dreamworks's How to Train Your Dragon. He started out as working as a cinematographer for documentaries, and in the 1990's he began to work for major motion pictures. Mr. Deakins is also a photographer and is known for his photography hobbies. His skilled cinematographing has allowed him to be nominated for many Academy Awards, such as True Grit.
The video below is very very long but I skipped around it a lot and still learned a lot from Roger Deakins talking about True Grit and all of the work behind it. From the comments you can see that a lot of people really respect and look up to Mr. Deakins's work, which is pretty cool to me because I feel like cinematographers especially are sometimes overlooked compared to directors and producers.
