Cooler magazine have been shooting some of their covers and lots of editorial here these last couple of years. I really love this little film by Diane Sagnier, which she shot when the team were here recently working on a swim-wear story. Styling by Poppy Smith, and hair and make-up by Bea Sweet.

Some more work from the amazing  Leon Mark, this time for the latest issue of  Rika Magazine. Previous issues of the magazine are available to download from their website - rikaint.com/magazine.

As well as Marked Man, which previewed their A/W 2012 collection, Sibling also had their previous S/S collection shot here last year. Hotdog was directed by Yuko Kondo and Jan Urbanowski, and the first minute or so of the semi-animated short provides a (slightly surreal!) mini-tour of the studio. The film is up on Vimeo - click here to watch or go to http://vimeo.com/29599002/

Directors Sam Renwick and Thomas Bryant were in the studio shooting this earlier in the month. Marked Man is a short film commissioned by knitwear label Sibling to be shown at their Menswear show at London Fashion Week last Wednesday. Dazed Digital premiered the film online on Friday and did a  little write up too, which you can read by clicking here!

Fashion photographer Leon Mark has shot a number of stories here over the past few months, including ones for Commons & Sense, Dossier Journal and Sleek magazine. These photos feature in the Autumn/Winter 11 issue Sleek.

Here's a couple of super cute polaroids from photographer Bella Howard's shoot here with Nicole Pussycat Doll for Wonderland magazine.

Coinciding with the end of their 'month of chromophilia', Leisure held a one night only art show here a couple of weeks ago. Curator Rhys Coren interviewed artists Jack Bechtler and Lewis Teague Wright and did a little write up, which you can view by clicking here. Check out a few more pictures from the night below...

Leisure are here again tomorrow for another one night only art show, entitled Perfidious Gleam.

Ferry Gouw was back here the other month, shooting this video for Tom Vek. Tom's new album Leisure Seizure was released a couple of weeks ago and has been playing pretty much non-stop on the studio stereo since...

Speaking of Ben Rayner, here are a few snaps from the Rayner Books launch party we held here back in December. Rayner books is Ben's independent publishing company specialising in short-run art books. As well as his own work, Ben has so far published books by Sandy Kim, Karley Sciortino and Simon Taylor-Davies.

Vice recently celebrated their 100th issue by shooting 100 cool girls from various European cities. Photographer Ben Rayner shot lots of the London girls at Recession Studio. See the entire feature by clicking here, plus 20 hot boys Ben also shot by clicking here!

Here are a few tear-sheets from another of my fave Vice shoots. This one was shot by photographer David Titlow and styled by Mischa Notcutt. Vice Editor-in-Chief and overlord-in-general Andy Capper was in attendance on this one advising on the finer nuances of Riot Grrl. Big <3 to Andy not only for this, but also for his huge support for the studio over the last couple of years.

A couple of years ago, XL Recordings came over with The xx to shoot their video for Crystalised. Directed by Alex Flick and Masato Riesser and art directed by Arthur De Borman, the video has currently had over 12 million Youtube views and counting. It was also one of the nicest shoots ever with a lovely team, amazing band, and a celebratory Tayyabs afterwards (thanks Caius)!

Over the past couple of years, Vice have been been shooting here pretty regularly. Below are a couple of my favourite shoots from the old Whitechapel studio. Both were shot by photographer Claudia Grassl, art directed by Tabitha Denholm and styled by Aldene Johnson. Aldene is currently flying all over the world styling the incredible Florence And The Machine, and Tabitha has co-directed a few of Florence's videos, alongside photographer Tom Beard. Tom also shot the additional landscape photography for the All At Sea story.
