Jake Darwin

dude deserves a thread

holy shit

I think it's Darwen* with an 'e' but I've been saying the same thing for months, dude's fucking amazing behind the lens, one of the nose creative individuals I've seen in a while.
So sick to see him making it in and getting his shit in transworld etc.

The angle of that pop shuv at st kilda beach is off its head! Takes a bit of creativity to pull off a unique angle at such a photographed spot without coming off like you're purely trying to be 'artsy'

So in summary props to Mr Darwen, killing it.

Most creative*

I know nothing of his nose... Fuckin iPhones.

pure genius. his photos are eye gasms, slam did a killer job picking him up.

sorry for the wrong spelling.

this is incredible.

Yeah crootc

Agreed! He's name and shots have definitely continued to jump off the page/screen at me! Got that fresh vision that's for sure

This dude is my new 2nd fave in Aus. Yes I rank these things. Yes New Zealanders are Aussies.

Seriously though he fucking kills it, that Durrant photo doesn't do him justice though, not to say it isn't good. Hope you don't mind me posting 4 or 5 of my faves.

I almost wish this wasn't a cover because the crop really killed it. I couldn't even tell he was shooting it from underwater practically until I seen the whole thing. Great photo. He's only 19 too so age props a plenty.

Best photo ever taken at St Kilda? It's up there

Post your ranked list

This is cool

Amazing

I could post a bunch more

Oh shit here we go...

1. Peters (sorry cuntm8)
2. Darwen
3. Moey because he's been killing it lately
4. Gourlay but only cause I haven't seen anything for a while
5. Bibby 'cause he rules MF and is they only guy doing it
Chami would be in there but he ain't in Aus so he missed out on this prestigious list unfortunately.

Jashan is on the come up

Sam Coady gets an honorable mention too for the underdogs..also Hermans

herman deserves more recognition

Hermans does good work,
As does mr Mark Barber. Come to think of it, maybe there's something in that kiwi water that just breeds master lensmen?

Talking about kiwis and no one's mentioned Jake Mein?? Dude is also amazing. Check any Manual mag for proof.

Jake D has definitely been killing it lately and it's paid off for him. I agree that it's amazing he's only 19. I wish I was even shooting seriously at that age!!

hermans, on tha come up.

Post more photos Riely! they were amazing!

never been one to rock the skate photo as a desktop, that front feeble is begging for it though

Haha alright just for you Chris - all of these are straight off Jake's blog, you may have to lurk the depths to find a few - http://jakedarwen.com/

This is the original ad photo, much better than the b&w if you ask me
