Aaron is a real character. If you ever get the chance to meet him in person you should cause he'll probably make you laugh, and then maybe make you cry a little on the inside (but that's just his personality).

Aaron is a real character. If you ever get the chance to meet him in person you should cause he'll probably make you laugh, and then maybe make you cry a little on the inside (but that's just his personality). I've been following his work since before I was on flickr and I have to say he has progressed immensely and it's awesome to see every new accomplishment this guy makes. He's got a lot of talent and really good vision before he even sets up a single light. It's great to watch him in action cause he really knows what he's doing and you can learn a lot from his experience. Bottom line, great dude, great artist, great photographer.

When i first got Flickr, it was Aaron's work that blew me away. He was my favourite photographer, infact he is such an incredible photographer. He's like king of lighting, the lighting he uses is freaking amazing. I'm so jealous of all his AB's aswell. If you ever get a chance to shoot with him, i say TAKE IT because i… Read more

Aaron knows no fear, I once saw him shooting a perfect sunset on top of a mountain when out of nowhere a bear snuck up behind him. Aaron then round house kicked the bear off the mountain, and threw up the blood gang sign, and proceeded to take his noble prize winning photo, which sold for 1 billion dollars, and a coup… Read more

Aaron knows no fear, I once saw him shooting a perfect sunset on top of a mountain when out of nowhere a bear snuck up behind him. Aaron then round house kicked the bear off the mountain, and threw up the blood gang sign, and proceeded to take his noble prize winning photo, which sold for 1 billion dollars, and a couple of womens hearts, and some gay guys hearts as well.

Seeing Aaron's photos get posted is something I always look forward to when I see the "New items from friends" e-mail I get daily. His work is always fun and very well executed. I love his three and four light setups that really pop. There are always great colors and dynamic subjects and he's really inspiring to a l… Read more

Seeing Aaron's photos get posted is something I always look forward to when I see the "New items from friends" e-mail I get daily. His work is always fun and very well executed. I love his three and four light setups that really pop. There are always great colors and dynamic subjects and he's really inspiring to a lot of people (like me). Not only that, he seems like a really cool guy who'd be fun to shoot with or be shot by. I look forward to seeing more great work from you and wish you all the best. Keep it up!

From the land of Devo and rubber tires comes one Aaron Van Dike. He may be young, but his pictures literally draw circles around the others. Just check out where he has been published already. Whether it's glamour, unique improvisation or just goofing around with a clicker, this is a photographer to watch in the future… Read more

From the land of Devo and rubber tires comes one Aaron Van Dike. He may be young, but his pictures literally draw circles around the others. Just check out where he has been published already. Whether it's glamour, unique improvisation or just goofing around with a clicker, this is a photographer to watch in the future. Remember the name.

Someone called Aaron from Akron made me a contact... I looked at his profile "I haven't been shooting for very long..." and after a while on Flickr you naturally expect a certain amount of blurred shots from High School parties, and a few shaken videos of drunk cheerleaders, you know what I mean...

Someone called Aaron from Akron made me a contact... I looked at his profile "I haven't been shooting for very long..." and after a while on Flickr you naturally expect a certain amount of blurred shots from High School parties, and a few shaken videos of drunk cheerleaders, you know what I mean... How surprised I was to find such a talent! My immediate thought was to be honored, he'd marked me as a contact! The guy has more talent than I've seen for a long time, and an obvious eye for what a photo can become. Surprising sense of composition - and sense of surprise! I can't wait to see where photography will take him either, but continue this way, Aaron, and you'll go far! Thank you!

I like Aaron. I don't know if he likes me. I know he's jealous of me and my 5D. I wouldn't be surprised to see myself waking up one day, bound hand and foot while I watched a maniacal Aaron running away with all of my gear. I would hope that he would drop his 17-40L so that I could use it on a film body while I bui… Read more

I like Aaron. I don't know if he likes me. I know he's jealous of me and my 5D. I wouldn't be surprised to see myself waking up one day, bound hand and foot while I watched a maniacal Aaron running away with all of my gear. I would hope that he would drop his 17-40L so that I could use it on a film body while I built up my gear again. Hopefully I would be able to find people willing to work with someone who would be practically gear-less. In the end, Aaron would have great photos before and after stealing my equipment. I would like the ones from before more, but I would still have respect for those captured after the incident. In the end, he is a fine fellow, a good flickr contact, a good photographer, a good assistant, and a horrible thief.
