Review:
...A lavish 300-page tale of adventure and derring-do on and in the deep blue seas (and the follow-up to last year's equally bounteous Polar Portraits)...a truly magnificent book. --Sport magazine, September 2010
...not only a document of pioneering ocean photography but also a collection of absorbing portraits of those who have dedicated their lives to the sea....A wealth of information and imagery for keen photographers and history buffs alike. --The Scotsman, October 2010
a luminously produced new book called Face to Face: Ocean Portraits...sketches the outline of a discrete global community, a community separated by space and time, perhaps, but one bound together nevertheless by its members' shared passion for the sea. --Outdoor Photography magazine, December 2010
..a collection of historic portraiture alongside contemporary photography, the images commemorate those who repeatwdly brave the elements - from naval veterans and lifeboat crews to deep-sea divers. It's portraiture at its best; personal, insightful and delightfully intriguing. --Hazel Plush for Wanderlust magazine, December 2010

A very attractive, beguiling but eccentric book, it s a classic coffee table work that is still a very interesting and informative read. Most unusual. Beautifully produced in the usual Conway Maritime manner, the book benefits from a well-educated and cultured author/editor. It also includes the work of some of the world s best marine photographers. Essentially, following an introduction describing the history of marine photography, it comprises a large number of photographic vignettes of marine celebrities , both contemporary and historic. Obviously, the selection of such a long list of celebrities could be the subject of considerable argument. There is no doubt that some will be long forgotten in a decade or two. They are also, probably, rather too north Atlantic centric. Nevertheless, they are mostly interesting and that, surely, is the point. Beautifully photographed, magnificently presented and crisply written. Quality throughout! --Baird Maritime, March 2011
