Made in collaboration with stylist Phoebe Arnold for streetwear brand Aries, David Ledoux’s new photo book captures “a different way of life”
drawn in by “the way in which he captured the community around him … full of this raw energy: real people, real events, real life – but in this insanely beautiful and unique style,” as Arnold explains via email. She proposed a collaboration, thinking streetwear brandwould be a great fit. After the disruption of the pandemic, “David called me last August [and] it felt like fate,” she says.
Set-ups included “Phoebe driving the car down a hill while I sat in the boot shooting” as the skaters rolled downhill towards the camera – “or shooting on motorbikes at night. I like adrenaline in my shots and when you shoot in this way you can see it in the photo,” says Ledoux, adding that “shooting on film is even more exciting as you have to wait till it’s developed to see what you have”.
“The beauty of David’s work is that it’s all personal,” says Arnold. “The spirit of Aries is freedom.” Ledoux adds that the subjects were enthusiastic about the clothing, and nothing felt out of place. Selected images also ended up as prints for a capsule collection, for which Aries partnered with drinks brand White Claw. Ledoux says “the kids were so happy to be in the book. Super happy. [They’re] really cool kids and really nice people. We’re going to have a launch party for them in Biarritz.
