Face To Face: Creative Portraits

Face To Face will be an elegant hardcover book offering a range of different subjects from across the past thirty plus years with some figures sadly no longer with us. People like fantasy legend Michael Moorcock, Watchmen and V For Vendetta co-creator Alan Moore, the late great Scottish sci fi and modern fiction author Iain Banks and Oscar winning director Guillermo del Toro (The Shape Of Water, Pinocchio) to name just a few. it will also include a brand new introduction from acclaimed British comics creator Liam Sharp. The book features photos of over fifty subjects including: Alan (Watchmen) Moore, Monty Python's Terry Gilliam, Michael Moorcock and more. In over thirty years as a professional journalist I have interviewed pretty much every mover and shaker in the worlds of comics, film, TV and genre. Also if I have been lucky enough to do it face to face, I have always made sure I can capture them with one of my own photos. So I thought it was time to try and encapsulate this in a book. Face to Face features 50 subjects from the worlds of comics, film, TV, books and genre, offering a snapshot if you’ll pardon the pun of my career as a journalist and a photographer.
Shooting portraits sometimes with only a few minutes to do this at a press event or a convention rather than the comfort of a creator’s home or studio surroundings can be a challenge. For me creating a portrait is intended to be a piece that reflects the essence of the subject that I have shot and that is why I like to photograph people that I have interviewed as I already have a rapport with the subject.
