Face To Face Creative Portraits Makes Its Way To Its Second Stretch Goal

A British Original

Face To Face Creative Portraits has now hit its first stretch goal and is continuing towards its second stretch goal. Here’s a look at another subject in the book, Bryan Talbot…

Bryan Talbot is an awardwinning comics writer and artist with a career that spans over fifty years. The creator of acclaimed works like Luther Arkwright and Grandville, I have met and interviewed Bryan and his equally talented wife Mary (also included in this book) on more occasions than I can remember. He was part of Studio Space back in 2008 and we have interviewed him in Tripwire both in print and online countless times. He is a wonderful ambassador for British comics and his knowledge of the form and its history is unparalleled. He also always makes for a great portrait and he is always generous with his time so he had to go in here.

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
