Is it just me, or do I hear a lot of sour grapes bitching behind the comments about this guys site? All these wry, sarcastic comments like, "Just be rich and have a fantastic studio and expensive gear...extensive retouching"(posted 8448 days ago)On the other hand...That's what really impresses me about his work - it's almost entirely based on his raw vision. He's just a really talented guy, and it's not like he has anything better in terms of circumstance over what I have at this moment.
What few of you have addressed in your envy and sour grapes is that HE IS NOT a "raw talent." His illustrations on the Necron site make it obvious that he has been working visually for years --- I would guess he probably has been interested in art most of his life. THAT investment of time and study is worth more than all the monolights and expensive system cameras.
The thing I find objectionable is people want to talk, talk, talk about what he does and find something sinister in the fact that he uses photoshop -- but what image in fashion magazines hasn't been altered in some way?
I look at his site and see really nice work by a talented guy who works hard and enjoys what he does. Edward Kang --- Take Eolo's portfolio and site as an inspiration -- if you like what you see, make it your self assignment to copy him for a while --- but shoot it with what YOU have availible...eventually, your own pictures will come through. Eolo -- very nice work.
