While in Portugal this year Juzzy shot a few portraits of Owen Wright for Rip Curl while out of the water. With a story in issue 87 of Surf Europe, these photos found a new home, printed up and distributed out. Owen was great to work with and was keen for scouting locations of his hotel to get the right shot for his 6 page story in SE.
Justin Barnwell recently photographed Otis Carey for Arnette’s latest campaign titled ‘BIG FUN’. In the campaign, Arnette have their team doing fun things that relate to the riders personality. In this case it was a grimey alley way, a home tattoo set and a trusting victim… Otis behind the wheel, a real tattoo actually went down. Respect.
Stop No. 8 of 11 on the 2011 ASP World Title season, the Quiksilver Pro France was as good as they come with the king, a.k.a Kelly Slater and the next generation of ASP World Title contenders announcing their intentions on the world stage. One being the super grom Gabriel Medina, who eventually took out the event taking down Julian Wilson in the final. Justin Barnwell was there in the early rounds capturing the action before heading to Portugal to capture the pre antics of the Rip Curl Pro.

Knack recently created this profile video on Australian freestyle skier Russ Henshaw for REDBULL – The guy shreds! Born in Sydney, Henshaw strapped on his first pair of skis when he was three. A dozen years later, encouraged by national under-12 slalom titles, his parents moved to Jindabyne, the golden gateway to the NSW snowfields. Now he spends most of the year with his passport in his pocket on a world dream snowfields tour; home maybe for 10 days for Christmas in the northern winter, anywhere from his beloved Perisher to New Zealand or even South America during the southern winter.
Juzzy recently shot shot the Ripcurl music festival in Bidart just south of Biarritz. In what was supposed to be a two day event. A crazy storm came in after the first night and forced the event to be cancelled for day two… No Worries… as Day one was RAD, Stand outs by the frech surf rockers, Le Femme and the energetic guys from The Klaxons rocking the huge crowd on the beach. Good times!
With Juzzy in France he’s getting amongst the summer surf scene. A highlight on the calendar was the Nike Cash for tricks put on by the rad crew at BlueStar Revolution, it’s different to the standard surfing contests, the Nike 6.0 Cash for Tricks criteria is derived from a popular skateboarding format where mind blowing tricks get rewarded with cash. The concept is real simple… the bigger, more technical the trick is, the more money the competitors get. Aside from the competition, Nike 6.0 Cash for Tricks is also about having fun with a live DJ pumping out some rocking tunes to create a summer beach party vibe.
So Stoked to be invited onto Corbin Harris’ show Pop Gun on Fuel TV… We talked Skate Photography, The Camera Club and Knack Studios. Corbin is a great guy and it was an awesome opportunity to be invited onto the show. Man it’s embarrassing to see yourself on the tube though… (Excuse the crappy recording off the TV)
Knack recently created a 15 second Cinema Ad for Beach Burrito’s Cronulla Store. 6 burritos, 12 coronas, a couple of cheaky frozen margaritas and 7 sachets of chilli sauce later here it is… Mucha Gracias.
