Jimmy Edgar

When we met Jimmy Edgar at Dour festival, he was holding a bottle of whiskey in one hand and his buddy Otto von Shirach with the other. We asked him to let go of Otto and take our disposable camera instead. Which he did. The first single of Jimmy’s new album ‘XXX’ is called Hot Raw Sex and by the looks of the pics he shot for us, the man is for real.

"Should I put on some lipstick before we do this?"

"Stay like this while I show you my 'intensions'"

"Re: 'look what I did to you', perfection too bad it's not permanent"

"Despite falling out of bed head wounds, cigarette burns and chest xrays we are actually quite normal bloodsuckers"

"When the flash is too bright black nails licking bleeding lips"

"Re: 'can I wear your shirt?' yes, can I wear your everything?"

"Don't scare me like that, xoxo"

"From this angle is how I will steal your heart"

"And this is how I will steal yours"

"I have a cardboard play house in Berlin, and this weekend I don't give a fuck about being in complete disarray"

We want to shoot your childhood bedroom

We’re looking for bedrooms that have frozen in time. Bedrooms that still have Luke Perry or Tiffany Amber-Thiessen posters on their walls. Bedrooms that still have their cheesy Tom & Jerry or Top Gear bedspreads. Above all, bedrooms that have remained untouched. In short, we’re looking to shoot your teenage sanctuary, provided your parents haven’t [...] Read ›

Casting: Beards, moustaches and sideburns

We’re looking for 25-35 year old men with beards, moustaches and sideburns for a video shoot we’re planning together with photographer Tine Claerhout.

Studio show: Matthew Crasner and Christine Philipp

That’s why we like studio shows so much. They immerse you in the artist’s world, draw you in and impregnate you [...] Read ›
