COMING SOON: BOMBSHELL // pre-order today by clicking the link in bio.
@baron_books is pleased to present ‘Bombshell’ by Ethan James Green, a photographic study over a 12-month period, in collaboration with hairdresser’s @lucas.a.wilson , @jimmypaulhair and @sonnymolinahair .
A central theme for Green’s second book was to explore the spirit of the bombshell. In popular culture, the bombshell has been used to describe a blonde, buxom woman who has sex appeal; Green subverts this tired stereotype and invites a diverse array of friends to interpret and question the ‘Bombshell’, by using their own clothes, props and posing in any way they feel comfortable.
Green’s work is notable for his black and white portraits, capturing the uncompromising lives of his New York friends, and ‘Bombshell’ is a continuation of this work, a collaboration between the subjects and the photographer, as they both construct the outcome. Starring iconic faces, such as the model @mollyconstable , fashion director of Interview Magazine @dara._ , artist @therealconniegirl , and the book’s cover star, actress @harinef .
The project was first printed as a zine by @dashwood_books , New York, which was the beginning of this much broader ongoing project and, as Green states himself, “The zine was the first rendition of this whirlwind collaborative project that we embarked on over the summer of 2021, while emerging (slowly) from the frustrations of the past 18 months. Once we began shooting, the title ‘Bombshell’, became the driving force behind our days of dressing-up and performance.”
‘Bombshell’ is art-directed by @benkelwaystudio , the creative director of Arena Homme Plus and POP Magazine and contains an essay by @devan_diaz .

I am thrilled to announce the opening of my first solo show, Made To Last, at @fotografiska.newyork beginning April 21st through June 19th. A tremendous thank you to @justchuythings @terrence.phearse @frau.juliawagner @chbarnard and @second__name along with all of those that collaborated and supported the making of the images and videos on view.
“Made To Last is a collection of 20 images that span from 2016 to the present and represent a survey of the varied subjects and characters found within Green’s expanding body of work. From his earlier work until now, his photography has moved from documenting a close circle of intimates, often in the parks near his former Grand Street apartment, to the covers of Vogue, Vanity Fair, and other international titles. But just as his work was becoming more recognized, the global pandemic upended life as we knew it. Green’s determination to create pictures that would exist as a legacy deepened in this pause, even as he absorbed the very immediate upheaval around him. Made To Last is also a view of America in its current complexity, tenderness and possibility.”
