Frontline is a media club that uniquely combines eating, drinking and thinking. A three-minute walk from Paddington Station, spread over three stripped wooden floors, it has a private clubroom for members, and a restaurant and forum space open to the public.

During the day, light streams through huge windows onto the exposed brickwork and photographic exhibitions in the loft-style restaurant and members' room. At night the emphasis shifts to enlightenment through the Forum, with its screenings and discussions on media issues.

The Frontline Club is committed to social entrepreneurship - profits from the restaurant and efforts from Club members help the charitable work of the Frontline Forum.

"Small, funky, very focused but rather cool" Peter York, The Independent

What's On at Frontline:

In the picture with Horst Faas and Oded Balilty: The changing face of war photography

Thu 12th July, 7.30pm Price: FREE

With Horst Faas, two-times Pulitzer-prize winning photographer and former picture editor of AP, Oded Balilty, AP’s Jerusalem-based staff photographer and Santiago Lyon, AP’s director of photography.
Moderated by John Owen (Executive producer of Newsxchange and Chairman of the Frontline Club Forum)

Location: The Hilton London Paddington, 146 Praed Street, London, W2 1EE

Two times Pulitzer Prize winner Horst Faas, this year’s winner Oded Balilty and Santiago Lyon from AP discuss the dramatic changes in war photography as both war and camera technology become increasingly high tech.

Join us as on a photographic tour of dark places in wars from Vietnam to Iraq and from the dark room to the digital age.

Horst Faas covered the conflicts in Vietnam, Laos, Congo and Algeria. In 1962 he became AP’s chief photographer for Southeast Asia and was based in Saigon until 1974. His unflinching images of the Vietnam war won him a Pulitzer Prize in 1965. In 1972 he collected a second Pulitzer for his coverage of the conflict in Bangladesh.

As AP’s picture editor Faas ensured the publication of two of the most famous images of the Vietnam War - the notorious picture of the "Saigon Execution" by Eddie Adams and Nick Ut's famous "Napalm Girl”.

As well as covering the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine Oded Balilty covered the 2004 Ukrainian elections and demonstrations, the 20th anniversary Chernobyl  and the 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah. He won the Pulitzer Prize in 2007.

Santiago Lyon is director of photography of The Associated Press, responsible for the AP's global photo report and the hundreds of photographers and photo editors worldwide who produce it. He has 23 years' experience in news service photography and has won multiple photojournalism awards for his coverage of conflicts around the globe.

Under Lyon's direction, the war in Iraq earned the AP its 48th Pulitzer Prize in 2005, for work by a team of photographers.  The AP's winning entry, its 29th for photography, consisted of 20 photos from Iraq by 11 different photographers, five of them Iraqis. 

In 2007 the AP won it's 30th Pulitzer Prize for photography for an image by Oded Balilty showing an Israeli woman attempting to block a line of Israeli riot police.
