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!
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.

Oh yeah, he got a STAB full frame too:
Knack’s been hanging around Otis like a bad smell lately. Why?

“I believe you will find this exhibition incredibly comely. It is a metaphor – the surfer trapped in the wave’s crazy hypnosis – for all the black men living in ghetto torture chambers, deballed by the poisonous pus of crime and pimpdom. You may find the link tenuous. For us, We Stand Sideways is a metaphorical portrait of ghetto life – a masterpiece!” Derek Rielly, Stab Magazine
“We’ve so much respect for the team at Stab and absolutely honoured to have them involved in curating the We Stand Sideways exhibition. Its shaping up to be really quite special.” Darryl Nichols. Co-Founder, The Camera Club
The ‘We Stand Sideways’ exhibition launch party is being held Thursday April-14 from 7pm with a special sideways-inspired free cocktail on entry and live dj. If you’re in the market for some seriously impressive surf photography then get ready to get down!
