Justin Edward John Smith is an English-born artist who has a lineage in fashion photography and the performing arts. Smith's artwork celebrates sensuality and the beautiful at a moment in history when passion and emotion are the stuff of everyday living. Observed as a series of magazines and composed always in two parts, Man Women Girl Boy explored the complexities and nuances of the individual.

Presented collectively in 128pp, the magazine is a contemporary theatrical interlude that explores youth, beauty, innocence and brutality. Created in the first person by Smith with 3 Deep, the publication is for a discerning audience who appreciate the emotional and intuitive.

It seems appropriate for this time to have an art that reflects the reality of lived experience – an art that speaks directly to the passion of the day – Julian Goddard.

The reading of a magazine, the holding of a title in one’s hands creates a certain intimacy; there is a tactility in the turning of the pages, a romance and a sense of longing usually associated with notions of permanence and the longevity of the printed page.

    One of the great virtues of art is that it enables us to see the world through different lenses. As a consequence, we are forced to oscillate from passive spectator to active participant, a role that imbues work with meaning. In this spirit, the 00 brand was born. 00 aims to change the way in which we engage, perceive and experience creativity.
