We love Tim Barber shot by Asger Carlsen for Vice Magazine

This image of Tim Barber photographer and founder of online gallery tinyvices is by Asger Carlsen and features in the current issue of Vice Magazine. Words by Asger Carlsen. See more of his work here. 

Tim Barber of Tiny Vices is someone who has helped me countless times over the years by featuring my work or showing it in exhibitions. He has done so much for the photographic community so it’s an honour to be appreciated by him. Tim also wrote the foreword for my book, Wrong, with Mörel Books. So this portrait is in homage to that series.

French Connection AW10 launched today with another ground breaking campaign shot and directed by our very own Leila and Damien de Blinkk, joining them this season as Director of Photography was cinematographer Edu Grant, who created imagery in A single man & Buried.
Once again the brand divides the collection into two distinctive personas, The Man, The Woman, exploring their interaction with their environment. Shot on location the campaign offers a voyeuristic snapshot of their lives.
