Aquabumps Spring/Summer Moments

2012 Aquabumps Spring/Summer Moments in Italy – in association with Peroni from Aquabumps on Vimeo.

Working with Aquabumps again, this time in collaboration with Peroni we set off to Italy to capture the summer, the beaches and the waves of the Mediterranean… Yep thats right, waves in the med! Aquabumps joined forces with Peroni to produce a series of short films that will take you to a place that we all want to be whilst hiding in our office cubicles – the beach.

A Day in Bondi with OTIS CAREY from Knack Studios on Vimeo.

Otis Carey in ‘A Day in Bondi with a Cobba Dingo’

The short film series gets an insight into sideways standing personalities. We let them speak their mind, follow them round and watch them shred. Its a one day shoot and insight into their life.

We chin wag with this cobba dingo about moving to Bondi from sleepy Coffs Harbour, being a young dad, what makes him tick and general life pondering thoughts. Otis is a unique character and does things his own way.

“I don’t think anyone knows what their purpose is in life, I’m already a happy man. The fact i have a son makes me happy. Every night i go to bed happy. I’m never really grumpy or anything. Whats the point of being grumpy?”

‘We Stand Sideways’

After two successful exhibitions, ‘we all have teenage fantasies’ and ‘Fancy That’ The Camera Club,a community based bar & gallery space that’s dedicated to celebrating creativity through camera related pursuits, is now set to deliver its third photographic showcase ‘We Stand Sideways’.

We Stand Sideways presents the all inspiring work of a group of global surf photographers. Hand-picked by the creative folk at STAB Magazine the s…how features images snapped by the world’s
leading surf lensmen including Richie Freeman, Sergio Villalba, Ryan Miller & Ben Brown amongst many others. From the Canary Islands & Iceland through Asia & South Pacific here is a top-shelf selection that’ll make you wanna slide!

“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!

In keeping with its community-based approach The Camera Club has also released a number of extensions including a Stab Magazine library, vintage photo booth, exhibition inspired cocktails and camera related inspiration from the past, present and future.

The Camera Club is located within the Beach Road Hotel, proudly supported by 42 Below & Brought to you by Knack Studios.
