“Sensitive people faced with the prospect of a camera portrait put on a face they think is the one they would like to show to the world... Every so often what lies behind the facade is rare and more wonderful than the subject knows or dares to believe.” – Irving Penn

FAMILIAR DIFFERENCES is a mixed grouping of young photographers whose work often entails the use portraiture as a means of depicting the world around them. Often, as active participants within the cultures they document, this grouping of young photographers is imbued with a sense of access and candidness that is unique and endearing to the work. Using various unmediated approaches, this forthright survey of early career photographers explores aspects of portraiture through formal and informal depictions of human experience.


 
 
1WV 1FN : LONGBOARD VIDEO CONTEST

INNOCNTS Presents

1WV1FN : A Longboard Video Contest

Introducing a new approach to the singlefin log-riding contest that widens the playing field a bit. No travel costs, no entry fees, no heats, and no limited invites. Open to all men and women riding logs and forwarding the movement in their own way.

Here’s the idea, best wave over a two-month period wins. Simple as that. Winning surfer gets $500 and $100 goes to the videographer who documents the wave. A modest prize, but perhaps enough to help supplement that rising rent a bit.

Full contest details at: Innocnts.com/1wv1fn

Recap : Inspiration Trade Show

It's been a minute but we're finally posting this recap from the Inspiration trade show back in February. Innocnts doesn't really fit in at the other larger trade shows so for our first go at this "booth" thing we gave Inspiration a shot. Smaller brands, attention to details, nostalgic vibes, and no pressure. We had live music from Seth Pettersen, free beers courtesy of the local liquor store, live pinstriping by Vince Felix, and tattoos by Jose Araujo.  The legendary Jeff Ho even stopped by and gave the tattoo machine a try under the tutelage of Mid Town Tattoo's Jose Araujo. Though we didn't really sell much (not even sure what we were trying to sell really), we had a blast and hopefully left an impression with some of the folks that passed through. Maybe we'll do it again next year.

LYON HERRON PHOTOGRAPHY

Ever met Lyon Herron? We bet you'd be stoked if you did! An all around great example of human being, surfer, friend, and cancer survivor. All those key personality traits lead to one heck of a life perspective so it's no surprise Lyon would gravitate towards documenting the beauties of life through the lens of photography. Lyon is 100 percent dedicated and now a days with all the over-night "photographers" inebriated with Insta-fame, that's something to take pride in. Lyon lives it. From motorcycle mayhem in the desert salt flats to swimming among cracking blue barrels at Pipe, Lyon is engaged and tuned in.

Stoked to have Lyon as an Innocnts Advocate.
