Photos by Justin Barnwell
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.
Here’s a few shots from the Jordy Smith, Johnny Florence and Dusty Payne session that went down at La Barre, Anglet on one of the Quik Pro, France’s lay-days. Too often, amazing surf shots fly under the radar or are overlooked for whatevs reason and that’s a bummer. ‘Specially when they’re shots like this. Knack Studios Photographer Justin Barnwell was there to capture the action.

Who would have thought, Surfing in New York City… That’s right, on a recent trip to NYC for the Quiksilver pro, Juzzy took a detour via the subway to the famed Rockaway beach. So ugly yet beautiful it sure is a strange place. Here’s some shots taken on a disposable film camera in-between surf sessions. Oh yeah, it was pumping!
