Brazen Ink // We Are Warwickshire from Adam Swords on Vimeo.
I’ve been looking for a personal project to sink my teeth in to for a while now and I wanted to shoot something different from bikes and cars. I travel a lot with my work and have the opportunity to shoot in wonderful locations around the world so it seemed fitting in this instance to look closer to home. A few years ago I spoke to David Hobby about his HoCo360 project and loved the idea of giving back to the local community through photography/film. I began looking for interesting independently owned, boutique businesses in the Warwickshire area and realised there would be a lot of opportunity to make some beautiful little films featuring them.
What you see here is #1 in the series titled “We Are Warwickshire”, featuring Brazen Ink Tattoo Parlour in Warwick. Owned by Trey Burnside who is also the tattooist, Brazen Ink is a quirky little parlour on the outskirts of town.
