ETWM guest curates ‘Another Escape’ Volume 1
Hello, Samuel here. It’s been very quiet here at ETWM for a while now but we are pleased to announce that we recently collaborated with Another Escape Magazine.
Myself, Sam. A. Harris and Alex Catt selected a photographer each to feature in a dedicated ETWM section of the magazine. I wrote a short introduction about us and put it all together in some spreads which then got sent off to the guys at Another Escape.
A big thank you to our chosen contributors Brendan Barry, Pauline Magnenat and Louis Perreault.
We couldn’t be more pleased with how everything turned out. Things are slow here, but still active and there will be a second volume of ETWM and some updates in the future.
We hope you continue to enjoy everything we have put out so far. Please check in every now and then and remember we are still accepting submissions via our flickr group.

A studio visit with Jamie Hawkesworth

Where is your studio exactly and how long have you been working there?
I have a small darkroom inside Rapid Eye, on Leonard Street, London. I have been here about a year… Prior to that I was taking trips down to Brixton to print. When I first moved to London, I was assisting a photographer who used to pay me by letting me use his darkroom in East Acton; he would teach me to colour print there. It a was a brilliant place to learn, and it feels great to now have my own place.
What are the pros and cons of your studio?
It’s so brilliant having the facilities to hand print so close to where I live. I really love working with film and having the experience of being in the darkroom. Using my hands to make my photos makes everything really tactile, and kind of feels like I’m making a really great object.
How many hours do you usually spend there per week?
It kind of depends on how work is, and how large the job is that I’m printing. If I have the time, and I’m working on something personal, I tend to spend all day here, working on into the evening… You can get carried away and loose track of time.
Do you have your own daily routine within the studio? For example, do you usually start by answering your emails then get to work etc?
Not really, well I guess I make a cup of tea and wait for the machine to warm up, then I just get down to contacting and printing…
Are there things you deliberately forbid yourself to do/have within the studio in order to be more productive?
No, nothing in particular really. I sometimes waste a bit of time on the computer though. I also love trying to make huge prints, and then love trying to make very small prints… Sometimes I cant make up my mind, which actually isn’t that productive either!
Do you sometimes wish you had your own studio? What are the pros and cons of sharing your workspace with someone else?
I’m very lucky with my studio, as there are very experienced printers around me who have been in this industry for over 20-30 years. It’s strange as I find myself talking to the guys here about colour casts, thickness and quality of paper and how the tone of an image looks… It’s brilliant to really look at these finer details of an actual physical object.
What is your favorite track to edit photos to?
I’m really obsessed with playing these too songs:

Where is your studio exactly and how long have you been working there?
It’s on the south side of Williamsburg, right over the bridge and really close to where I live. I’ve been working there for the past 2 years.
What are the pros and cons of your studio ?
The pros are getting out of my house and creating space and structure for me to work away form my comfort zone. The view is awesome too. I can sit and stare at clouds rolling over the Empire State needle. It’s really cool when a storm rolls in. Cons: I tend to eat shitty because Pies ‘n’ Thighs is a block away. I really love fried chicken.
How many hours do you usually spend there per week?
It really depends on what I’m up to. When I’m in the city, I’ll spend anywhere between 3 and 8 hours a day. Most of my practice has been out of the studio but as of late I’m changing that up a bit and I’m making some pictures there. I like to shoot where I spend time.
Do you have your own daily routine within the studio? For exemple, do you usually start by answering your emails then get to work etc?
Yes, the first thing I do is plug my phone into my speakers and listen to Howard Stern. I’ve listened to him since I was in high school. His Long Island accent is really soothing to me. Then I just try and focus on what I’m working on.
Are there things you deliberately forbid yourself to do/have within the studio in order to be more productive?
No, I actually find it to be the one place where I shouldn’t forbid myself. No matter what I do there, it ends up being work related.
Do you sometimes wish you shared your studio with one or a few other artists ?
No but I do like visitors! I would never want to share my space with anyone. It’s my escape.

Another Escape published my Silver Wedding series in their first issue - get a copy here, the whole magazine is great.
Congratulations to Alec Soth and Christian Patterson for being both awarded a 2013 John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship.
In 2011, I interviewed Alec Soth for my BFA thesis on the subject of “How Joel Sternfeld and Alec Soth develop a contemporary practice of documentary photography beyond the editorial system and how narrative is conveyed within Sternfeld’s series American Prospects and Soth’s Niagara and Sleeping By The Mississippi”.

Where is your studio exactly and how long have you been working there?
My studio is in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, which is located about five minutes from my home.
What are the pros and cons of your studio?
Pros: Location, size and space.
Cons: The internet.
How many hours do you usually spend there per week?
30ish.
Do you have your own daily routine within the studio? For exemple, do you usually start by answering your emails then get to work etc?
I start by turning on my computer, playing some music and answering e-mail. The rest of the day depends to a large extent on various ongoing projects and what other people need from me. For the past several months I also have spent a lot of time traveling, going to exhibitions, doing book signings, giving artist talks and leading workshops. But I am now finally, slowly turning my attention to what I hope will be my next big project.
Are there things you deliberately forbid yourself to do/have within the studio in order to be more productive?
I am obsessive and self-motivated enough to not have to worry too much about distractions. If I am not being productive I am not happy.
You had your studio to yourself for a while but you’re now sub-letting a portion of it to a friend. What are the pros and cons of sharing your workspace with someone else?
I like to be alone. My friend and I say hello and chat with each other but we mostly keep to ourselves. We are both busy with our work, and that is what makes the situation work for us.
