edwardolive fotógrafo y actor. some criticism received : words - palabras – mots “Simple and so expressive...” “Gorgeous, it reminds me of a film but i can't remember what....maybe i haven't seen it yet... Strange that this one was unsold. I guess you can still sell them elsewhere though right? They'll make a fantastic book one day, you'll make a fantastic book one day from these and we'll all sit by our coffee tables scratching our heads wondering about the rich Spanish” “Really great B&W..” “At some point we just have to keep on truckin', and I'm glad that you do, Ed...whether any or what we've done is understood or not.” “all your pics are very specials..” “Una atmosfera fascinante..” “You are cool. And your shots are supercool.” “There are little treasures again in your last series!” “Realmente haces unas fotos bien ingeniosas! Es un caos... muy creativo!!” “wow.. that's impressing, really” “me parece genial eduardo! parece de otro mundo...” “man, when I grow up I wanna be like you” “these photos make me want a hasselblad something fierce!” “Beautiful tones and composition.” “this right here is the poodle's privates.” "EL OJO QUE TODO LO BE... La elegancia del detalle.. Admiro su delicada paciencia para encontrar su justo momento.. un trabajo de gran observación. Siempre grande..... un observador poético de tu trabajo.” Jordi Gual – Catalan fine art photographer “A genius outside its time…Edward..!!" “your photos are so atmospheric.” “oh my god... edward, this is seriously incredible... I bet you're getting tired of criticless comments like these, but there's nothing else to say here” “Love is everywhere...” “wow edward. wow.” “You're doing it right. Keep the faith.” “Touching.” “Surreal and wonderful.” “You are astonishingly good.” “Brilliant comp. here, Ed. We're not worthy!” “you create such great images with your film/photoshop combo. nicely done.” “class” “i like these unsold wwedding pphotosss better and better” “I just wanted to say that I love your photos. I do believe that if I could afford you to shoot my wedding you would be hired in a heartbeat, and you would not have many "unsold" photos from your shots. I cannot believe that people would pass up the photos you have been posting here, they are lovely, and so refreshing to see, as so many wedding photos are the most boring things I have ever seen... Really love your work, and for some reason was inspired to right you a note to tell you that. Can't wait to see whats next...” “superbe . . .” “and long live your candid wedding photography” “very beautiful, love the color tones and grain.” “Fabulous - such gorgeous grain and toning!” “I love compositions like this!! Awesome stuff here!” “hahaha i can't stop laughing, very good” “You start to get to use much "expensive" equipments lately.... That's a good thing anyway!” “Beautiful!!” “Wow!! ... Wow, amazing! Your stuff is amazing!!... Beautiful!!” “this wedding series is just wonderful........ I love them all!!” “very cool, very cinematic” “f*cking awesome” “i can't believe they didn't want this one. muppets...and good old neopan 1600. you've got to love it..... can't understand that at all, especially as your clients don't seem short of a few pounds! There's no accounting for taste I guess.... The fools that didnt buy it...... how wonderful.... a lesson to wedding photographers...... very COOLIO!” “Dreamsssssss............•” "One of the best but without a doubt the most interesting guy on flickr. Always has something to say and it's usually either hilarious, insightful, dirty or (hopefully) a mixture of all three. It never ceases to amaze me how little appreciation his clients show for such beautiful work. Keep it up. It's always a pleasure." "Wow!! Just amazing, stunning, beautiful, imaginative, a unique vision!.. I still can not believe the quality of edwardolive's work! Truly an amazing talent! Keep the images coming man!!" “cinematic” “wowowow” “i love them so much my heart is about to break. well done ed” “wow! they are absolutely fab! I'm gonna have to start having kids quick!” “so good. its always so good, Edward.” “ohhh la la !!” “oh. my. god. greatness.” “Me fascina el toque que les das a tus fotos!! Tienen una atmósfera y un punto de vista especial. Me encantará que seas el fotógrafo el día de mi boda!! Enhorabuena!” "One of my favorite photographer ...... Amazing shot, amazing idea...amazing world !!! ... ~~~ pfffff....what a talent !!!!" “Love this. Great atmosphere.” “Another fine example of Edward Olive's Unique perspective on 'Wedding Photography'. You're good you!” “spiritual / religious and now sensual too ! wow you got a well rounded lens ;) and it's beautiful how your cameras n lenses understand you so beautifully. and there's nothing artificial about that intelligence really.” “i love how you pick your equipment ! they all know what exactly to focus on and what to leave out. and they get you to do exactly that. damn !! smart gear you got” “your focusing mechanism clearly has issues with scenes that involve potent religious symbols and/or women's cleavages. or as a small child was heard to say in a restaurant recently, "Mummy, why does that lady have her bottom at the front?"” “Espectacular!!” “you are the man Edward.” “am sure the other photographers don't have a such a ball at the wedding..nor will they after the wedding is done, when they're looking through what they got, if they do look at them at all” “Really nice to see you back doing what you best. This is just great... Fantastic.” “One word : Genius.” “Your entire stream is incredible - the tone + mood + start simplicity of so many of your shots ... amazing.” “Magnifique !” “dope. This is nice.” “wunderbar!” “absolutely beautiful” ciao eduardo, “i've been very inspired by your work and think if i ever get married i will hire you to be the photographer!!” “well now thats the beauty of life. captured moments. very beautiful” “fantastic, a real dialogue between the pictures” “BEAUTIFUL. The dof is just powerful. the whole is just enchanting.” “Film like, nice work Ed.” “... ya estoy harto de decirte que me encantan tus fotos ... jajajajaj ... pero es que no puedo evitarlo ...” “Genial... cada vez me sorprende más tu creatividad Edward.” “oh.. late night art !!” “hey !!!! so becautiful !!!!!” “oh wow this is magical.” “No doubt you've got style” “Without words you images speak so much... with words they speak volumes” “really awesome job ...” “Formidables imágenes.” “wow! beautiful!” “too cool.. beautiful” “this is definitely art senor olive. definitely!” “!!! !!! !!! whoooo whoooo whoooooaaaa !!! ... ok. where can I buy your "wedding snap" book ?!?!” “simply superb. charge what you think you are worth.. simple as.” “I've enjoyed *SO* many of your photos over the last year or so.... Your stream on flickr is probably the most rewarding I've spent any time exploring - I rarely comment, but check in fairly religously. I'll stop before I start to appear too creepy/stalkery, but cheers, and keep uploading!” “I love how you can create images that are very sexy without being the least bit explicit. And they're fantastical, yet real.” “truly inspiring work. truly inspiring work.” “Muy simple pero bonito. Que mas se puede pedir de una buena foto? Nada mas. Siempre me gustan tus fotos.” “I love your pictures, especially the new wedding photos! My cap's off to you!” “Ah Edward you really are the coolest.” "wedding" photographer, I do not think so !!” “I must confess that wedding photography is not something I'm attracted to much, but your photographies are such an inspiration to me” “ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...... beautiful.” “This is pure brilliance! I do like your work Mr O. I know you like to pretend that you're just a rascal dressed as a scoundrel and you're playing at this, but I know you're actually quite brilliant.” “Well observed. Well put together. Well done.” “AMAZING! Just that!” “as you say with most people ....high price = hi quality. really throws me off sometimes cos these guys wouldn't know good stuff even if it came up and bit them in the ass. really great pics senor olive ! absolutely inspiring.” “top class! more wedding pics please?” “never ever boring..never ever...i don't want to hear such nonsense. nice” “This is straight out of Goodfellas or Godfather or some other .... Excellent” “These are truly excellent, Olivio. They almost make me want to get married again.” “The Spirit of Ecstasy soars into the bright and shiny night. cool.” “perfect images” “If I were to get married, I'd hire you immediately.” “absolutely beautiful. wonderful light and the treatment gives this a classic feel... love it” “You are clearly innovating ! Another reason to pay top Euro for the pioneer customers. Of course, and it´s obvious, the images are really great.” “La delicada simplicidad de una mente punzante....•....” “minimalism at its best” “Hola Eduardo, quiero felicitarte por las bonitas fotografias que has mostrado, muy evocadoras y con un estilo muy retro. Me hace recordar a algunas fotos que he visto de de Cappa. A pesar de lo bonitas que son debo señalar que el comun de los mortales puede no apreciar fotografias de ese estilo, y es que el arte finalmente lo es precisamente ante los ojos conocedores de un espectador, y como bien dices tu que muchas veces se cobra mucho dinero por cubrir una boda, resulta que los contratantes muchas veces buscan algo que ellos llaman perfeccion, calidad, puntualidad y cosas por el estilo, y ademas suelen escoger muchas veces las fotos que uno piensa las no tan artisticas ( finalmente son los que pagan). Si alguien cobra ****** euros por cubrir una boda, debe ser por que hay quienes esten dispuestos a pagar... finalmente es un negocio. Lo tuyo es definivamente arte y muy bueno... pero dudo que me vaya bien si ofreciera solo imagenes de ese estilo, a alguien que no sabe nada de arte y solo sabe que se casa y quiere fotos de su boda.... Un saludo!!!” “mr fantastic-eyed edward olive” “Amazing, your very talented!” “fantastic, very impressive” “impressive!” “que pasada!” “this gradient is swingin-swayin' fantastic!” “como me gusta” “me encantan los colores..............” “Como un cuadro renacentista perfecta..... .” “You are so in touch with the silence and stillness of things! It's amazing. This is beautiful! You truley are a master edward!” “I like your latest photos. Damn you're good at it!!!” “You surprise every time Mr edwardolivesurprising!” “Tienes fotos magníficas” “Edwardo, eres bokehman... Nadie lo hace como tú.” “This is awesome!” “you are artist scientist cross - great series...” “some serious talent going down on this photostream. inspiring to say the least.” “man, you´ve got an eye for art, so who cares about techniques...” “Stop being amazing. You're making me jealous” “this is clever, great stuff” “wait in line for cheers : great job !” “you are fantastic” “Hi, I just wanted to say that you stand for everything I want to achieve in my photography. The feelings you express is just.. amazing. You seem to experiment alot and I really want to do that but can't seem to find the "right moments"... I have no words to describe it but your photography really gets to me and is just fantastic.” “Una diana en el corazón.... arriesgar en la búsqueda es la meta que nunca se llega.” “Ed, one of the things I live about your shots is the quality of them feeling
