Typically, photographers on set are responsible for taking photos for a film’s marketing and advertising, but due to Enos’s relationship with Snyder, he ended up taking virtually all of the still photos that are featured in the movie (including the famous “Minutemen” photo). The book serves as a compendium of some of his work on the set, but is also a stunning collection of original portraits of many of the film’s “characters.”

Here’s part 1 of my interview with Enos. In this interview, Enos discusses his role in the film and what it was like to work with Zack Snyder. In part 2, more significantly, Enos literally opens up his own book and talks about the inspiration and stories behind some of the photos [Be aware that the following contains extremely minor spoilers for Watchmen]:
