Book - Face to Face

"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." - Joel Meadows
