  6. EWEN SHOOTS FOR INTERSECTION MAGAZINE – WITH GUEST STAR BLOGGER SHUN BELLIENI!

    Back when the weather was much less offensive we got our sea legs on and headed down to the Thames to do an A/W fashion editorial for INTERSECTION MAGAZINE. That all seems very distant now, but as a reminder of the good times I am delighted to introduce our latest guest star blogger Shun Bellieni of Intersection. Take it away Shun!

    A conversation among bearded men is a sight to behold, especially at the start of a long day’s work.  Captured below is a pregnant pause, with Intersection Picture Editor Bjorn quietly pondering the meaning of life, art and relationships under the watchful eye of model Jerome Rebeiro (left, stroking beard).

    

    Here’s our model Ed Hubert, head to toe in Hermès, doing what most people do while on photoshoots. In the backdrop is a famed body of water into which a few hundred tons of raw sewage are discharged up to 60 times a year.

    Boots are in this season. Clearly.

    Behind the racks of designer clothing, the yacht of a guy who allegedly was in town “to buy some art”. Within said yacht, we can imagine, further racks of designer clothing were likely to be found.

    Here’s me, being worried for the state of British waterways, the length and texture of a pair of orange socks, and the rapid development of my builder’s tan.

    Captain Spencer stares into the distance. He does run a tight ship.

    Bjorn on the floating garden barge, displaying the early signs of a heat stroke.

    Ewen and Jerome on the immaculately maintained garden barge, Ewen in fittingly nautical attire. Jerome in, erm, distressed tweed.

    Intersection Fashion Assistant Francesca Fasan is a native of Venice.  Which means she’s completely unfazed by the idea of spending a day on a precarious, man-made island. I mean, she kind of grew up on one.  In addition, she does not suffer from motion sickness, and she knows how to drive a speedboat, but not a car.  I reckon she must be a pretty good swimmer, too. (Bjorn is seen checking his phone in the background, as above)

    Make-up artist Madge Foster took a break from her globetrotting with Kylie to come hang with us on bargetown and to make model Kirsten Varley look like a million dollars (pounds?) for the shoot.

    Ewen’s assistant Elliott, seen here quietly assessing Madge’s work.

    I must have had something scary crawling on my face.

    Intersection Art Director Peter Stadden, doing the phone thing.

    As night falls on Bargeville, Ewen grabs the last few shots of Kirsten and Ed playing backgammon, before heading back to his coastal HQ in Brighton. I don’t think he lives on a barge though.

    Check out the next issue of INTERSECTION MAGAZINE for the full story, due to hit the shelves any time now.

  7. THE RIG OUT DO TOKYO WITH THIS WEEK’S GUEST STAR BLOGGER GLENN KITSON!

    Further to the sneak preview on Hypebeast earlier in the month we proudly introduce our latest guest blogger Glenn Kitson, fashion editor of The Rig Out, (acclaimed men’s style publication) the latest edition of which had Ewen shooting local lads in Tokyo. If you don’t know about The Rig Out already take a look at issue 4 HERE, you won’t regret it. You may remember Glenn from our Moscow trip earlier in the year. Glenn, over to you.

    Here are some images from the Rig Out magazine’s recent trip to Tokyo. We were honoured to have Ewen come and shoot for us and be a part of the team.

    First up, Dan and James. James once rode around the world on a bike and Dan speaks Japanese. We call him ‘Dapper Dan from Japan’.

    Seeing these dancing rockabillies, I got a real sense of how it must of felt to be Michael Palin when he discovered Japan 25 years ago.

    Here’s me looking slightly less weird than normal (despite appearances I am a stylist, ya’ know).

    James and Ewen talking about ‘deep’ stuff. Probably bikes or lenses or something.

    These are the guys from Bedwin, who we shot an editorial for. Nice guys.

    Ewen with his masculine walk.

    At the temple being blessed by magic smoke.

    Here’s one of Ewen and Antony Crook (another photographer) in a traditional ‘British pub’. Shortly after this pic was taken Ewen glassed Antony. He didn’t really.

    I think we can all agree with this sentiment.

    The SPB (Shibuya Park Boys) shoot. We shot the local skate kids on their home turf.

    They where pretty mental…. like herding cats.

    One of them got into a fight with some sort of Yakuza bloke.

    Then we finished the shoot in a karaoke gaff.

    The 5th issue of The Rig Out is out in the new year available from WP Lavori, Oi Polloi, The End, Albam, Peggs & Son, No6 Draywalk and Secret Forts, in addition to other fine stockists. Check back for pictures from the magazine!

  13. TONIGHT: THREE’S A CROWD LAUNCHES!

    Tonight’s the night!

    Get yourself to KK Outlet, Hoxton Sq to help us celebrate the launch of THREE’S A CROWD VOl.2.

    Here’s a little about the book:

    In 2001 Photographer Ewen Spencer met a little known band called The White Stripes. Over the next five years they played their dirty garage blues in increasingly larger venues around the world and Spencer photographed all that took place as their rise to fame and fortune ensued. Three’s A Crowd Vol. 2 is the latest publication in the diptych series which catalogues these striking, mediative and quietly chaotic images.

    There is a time in the life span of a band when their future is unwritten. The weight of expectation doesn’t lay heavy on their shoulders or in the atmosphere of their dressing room. Their actions aren’t dictated by the character others have projected onto them. It is this time that Spencer captures in his Three’s a Crowd Volume 1.

    Three’s A Crowd Volume 2 continues from this point and concludes in 2005 as Jack and Meg White play to their biggest crowd. As Spencer puts it, “I’d seen all I needed to see and all good things….Volume 2 of Three’s A Crowd shows the peak of one of the great Rock n Roll bands of our time.”

    Spencer charts The White Stripes journey from playing small dock side clubs in Bristol, to stadiums in South America without ever loosing the intimacy or respect which the three had built up.

    To celebrate the publication of the last book in the Three’s A Crowd series, KK Outlet host a launch event and exhibition of images from the last book in the series.

    WE HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE TONIGHT! click HERE for details

  14. NOW THERE’S A CROWD!

    Big thanks to all who made it down to KK Outlet last night for THREE’S A CROWD VOL.2, it was thoroughly launched!

    This is what all the fuss was about.

    The window display at KK Outlet with pineapples, the international symbol of hospitality. Inspired!

    Clever curation by Danielle of KK Outlet, Jack taking a picture of Meg! Deep.

    Some people who came.

    Tim Sanders, the very talented young chap that won Ewen’s competition to exhibit in the Print Room showed images from the series ‘Microscopic Vinyl Record Grooves’. Amazing pictures. See more of his work HERE

    And that was that! Thanks again to all who came.

    Books are available from the SHOP
