I don’t know Darwin personally, but I certainly know his photos. I have a little game I play with myself. I click through my contact photos and try to guess who took them. Of about 100 contacts, there are only two that I can always guess. The pops of colour, vivid contrasts and clarity of the subjects make for Darwin’s incredible shots. I admire photographers who can develop a signature visual style. It is a rare talent. I always look forward to seeing his photos.

Me parece muy interesante cómo empleas los colores vivos sin llegar a ser exagerados. Tus instantáneas están llenas de vida y tienen un gusto por lo cotidiano que, normalmente, pasa desapercibido para gran parte de la sociedad. Gracias por detenerte en tu entorno y hacernos partícipes de él. Un placer visitar tu gal… Read more

Darwin Bell doesn't really need any more testimonials -- plenty of people are raving about his photographs already. But I'm writing this anyway because Darwin's photos always catch my eye. His choice of photo subjects is excellent -- it's clear that he walks through the world with attentiveness and an openness to the artful and beautiful in the most ordinary of things. His sense of color is beautiful, and he has an excellent eye for pleasing composition. I always look forward to seeing Darwin's next shot -- he inspires me to look at the world in a new way and to be a better photographer. Thanks for the inspiration, Darwin!

Beautiful jewel colours exploding across the screen - hot juicy reds, glistening swimming pool blues; polaroid-based wit and cleverness; and hot, hot boys...I mean, what else could you possibly want? Darwin makes the world look like one big sweetshop, populated by impossibly buff gingerbread men and rampaging rainbows...a world where Willy Wonka is the town planner. Mr Bell: better than prozac, architect of utopia - I wish the real world was as beautiful as the one you see!

The utter presence of mind necessary to really 'See' the way Darwin sees, must require an amazing amount of energy. I was captivated from the start by the sensual richness of the colors combined with the sharp technical detail of his studio quality shots. This is what photography is and should be about, capturing and highlighting the intense beauty that is all around us, but often goes unnoticed. Where good painting imparts, good photography extracts. Bravo!

Only one word comes to mind when I try to describe the photos taken by Darwin Bell... "Wow". Seriously, his use of color is amazing. He can take an everyday item and make something extraordinary out of it. He has a "photographer's eye" and sees 20/20 through it. Great work.

February 8, 2008

I just discovered an artist called Darwin and I guess today, my day will be blocked due to my determination of seeing his every single work. Sorry boss! ;-)
