I'm glad others are starting to notice Eolo's work. I bookmarked his site more than a year ago and return weekly to see if there are new updates. I sent Eolo an email some time ago, and he very kindly returned a reply, though he's busy, English is not his first language, and, as he says in the above message, he dedicates much of his spare time to the pursuit of photography.(posted 8464 days ago)I'm a little surprised at the dismissive and negative slant of some of the posts concerning Eolo's work, though. I usually find posters in this forum much more supportive and thoughtful. Just taking a moment to read what he's posted on his site (and here, I'm talking about necron.com) gives the visitor enough information to know that he's a) not a professional photographer (insofar as that's not how he earns his living), b) not using hired models, and c) not using a lot of technical tricks to achieve his look. Saying the "horizontal scrolling crap makes his site suck" is not only bad manners, but it's also a matter of opinion. So the guy's trying to do something different with his site -- what's the harm, except to people with archaic browsers and Pentium .5 computers?
I second Edward's vote: I think Eolo is astoundingly talented. Granted, he's got a lot of gorgeous friends, but I do, too, and they don't look like this when I photograph them. Eolo's got the goods, the sense for "the decisive moment" -- he knows just when the look in the eyes is there, the connection between photographer and subject. The eroticism is palpable. It's not generic fashion photography by a long shot -- try the a future contemporary of Herb Ritts and Matthew Rolston. And that's only if he decides he wants to pursue photography as a career! Oh, to have that be a choice.
I'm with you, Edward. I'd give my right arm to have the natural and intuitive skill this guy has. Bravo, Eolo!
