About Entertainment - Magazine -

In a new exhibition, award winning photographer Eamonn McCabe, draws together
a selection of works from his project illustrating the working environments of novelists,
biographers and poets.

“I have always enjoyed photographing loners. When I was covering sport it was boxers in
their gyms. Now I’m older, I enjoy photographing writers, poets and artists. The one thing
they all have in common is that they work alone.”

Eamonn McCabe: Writers’ Rooms runs 3 December - 17 January at Madison Contemporary Art, London.
