Face To Face Creative Portraits Is Just £115 Away From Its Second Stretch Goal

A Sharp Focus

Face To Face Creative Portraits is only £115 away from its second stretch goal. Here’s a look at another subject in the book, Liam Sharp…

Liam Sharp is a British comics writer and artist best known for working on The Green Lantern with writer Grant Morrison, on his own on DC’s Batman/ Wonder Woman: The Brave and The Bold and as creator of Image’s Tripwire awardwinning StarHenge series. I have interviewed him while we were part of the Portsmouth Comic Con, via email and most recently at his house in Derby last year. He is a very passionate subject and he always looks at ease whenever I take photos of him so he had to be in this book.

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.

Here’s where to pledge on the book and help us get to the second stretch goal, £4500, where we add a second brand new spread
