Face To Face Creative Portraits Is Past Its Second Stretch Goal Now

A Movie Maverick

Face To Face Creative Portraits is past its second stretch goal and only £455 away from £5000 where everyone gets a signed photo print. Here’s a look at another subject in the book, Terry Gilliam…

Terry Gilliam, formerly of Monty Python fame and director of films like Brazil, Time Bandits and The Fisher King, is a figure I have met two or three times although I have only interviewed him when The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus came out at San Diego Comic Con back in 2010. I have met him before back in 1992 when the Phoenix cinema in East Finchley hosted a screening of Brazil and after this at a signing he did for his illustrated autobiography in 2015 at Waterstones in London. He has a wonderful face for portraits and so he was a perfect addition to 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
