Terry Allen, the American photographer who has spent decades championing British gunmaking, and photographing British guns, shooting sports and people has announced the release of his latest book 'Faces.

Terry has deep connections within the British gun trade and has been employed by many of our great firms as a photographer of people, scenes and products.

He has, for years, been carefully taking portraits of members of the trade and associated sports and businesses, with the aim of creating a book of the people who represent British Gunmaking in the first quarter of the twenty-first century.

The result is 'Faces', Terry's homage to the trade he loves and promotes so well. It is about to leave the printer and will be available in limited numbers in the UK, as a coffee-table sized volume. In the US it can be ordered from Terry's website: https://www.terryallenphotography.com/shop

Terry unveiled his new book at Dallas Safari Club and Safari Club International, where he was busy signing copies..

'Faces' will prove to be an invaluable referential resourse for this and future generations, providing as it does, a snap-shot of a unique industry at this pivotal point in time. It captures the faces of the firms and idividuals entwined in this, much inter-connected, Gun Trade, not just in Britian, but in the US and across Continental Eurpoe, as well.

Terry has printed just 1,000 copies of this beautiful hard-back photo-quality paper volume. If you spot someone you know, it would make a unique and memorable gift.

Diggory Hadoke and Nicholas Holt are among those featured.
