Peccato, che l'importanza delle parole che scriverò, non siano all'altezza dell'artista di cui voglio parlare. Peccato, dicevo, perché Hello Suckers!, è un'artista; una di quelle creature, cioè, che sfuggono alle "classificazioni", alle "etichette". Ma, comunque, qualcosa lo voglio dire.

Peccato, che l'importanza delle parole che scriverò, non siano all'altezza dell'artista di cui voglio parlare. Peccato, dicevo, perché Hello Suckers!, è un'artista; una di quelle creature, cioè, che sfuggono alle "classificazioni", alle "etichette". Ma, comunque, qualcosa lo voglio dire. Allora, credo che la cosa che più salta agli occhi, sia l'istantaneità. Hello Suckers!, fa esercizio di questa "forma", catturando l'emozione, a volte, molto più di un'emozione, con la velocità della sorpresa. Il soggetto che, suo malgrado, si fa preda inconsapevole dell'agguato, che, da li a qualche frazione di secondo, scatterà inevitabile. La "struttura" della fotografia di Hello Suckers!, sta tutta li. Direte che, detta così, è ben poca cosa, ma se riflettete un'attimo, vi accorgere te che, invece, è molta cosa, perché nell'istantaneità c'è tutto il senso della fotografia e del suo progresso. Quindi, Hello Suckers!, non fa solo arte, ma anche promozione del mezzo fotografico e delle tecniche ad esso collegate, con un'intelligenza che fa invidia. Per questo, ma anche e soprattutto per le emozioni che egli suscita in me, che lo ringrazio.

HS is not a photographer in any traditional sense. He is an artist. He is unique, and for as astounding as his images are, he cannot be imitated: You'd need to have a mind like HS...and no one else does. The subjects in his images are not really subjects. They are "characters" from a dramatic novel. These characters h… Read more

HS is not a photographer in any traditional sense. He is an artist. He is unique, and for as astounding as his images are, he cannot be imitated: You'd need to have a mind like HS...and no one else does. The subjects in his images are not really subjects. They are "characters" from a dramatic novel. These characters have their own story, and the story is most frequently beautiful, sublime, and/or distubing - but always dramatic. His images grab you by the throat and won't let go until you are just about ready to pass out. What would flickr be without HS?

There are so many words to use to describe this brilliant photographer. His vision is second to none, a true inspiration to me. Gritty and raw and at times a compassionate side seeps through. Every single image he has posted sparks apart of my soul. This journey through his lens is extraordinary and I am honored t… Read more

There are so many words to use to describe this brilliant photographer. His vision is second to none, a true inspiration to me. Gritty and raw and at times a compassionate side seeps through. Every single image he has posted sparks apart of my soul. This journey through his lens is extraordinary and I am honored to be a part of it. My hat is off to you.

What can I say about this guy? He came and took Flickr by storm! Bam! Just like that. His style is so far out no one even comes close. I have quickly come to admire and respect this man as a photographer of considerable talent and as an artist of limitless merit. Take a few seconds to view his stream, you'll see exactl… Read more

I'm really glad to write the first testimonial for Hello Suckers!, one of my most favorite photographers in flickr. His work is unique, his shots are time bombs and one can never be sure when they will blow up his/her mind.

I'm really glad to write the first testimonial for Hello Suckers!, one of my most favorite photographers in flickr. His work is unique, his shots are time bombs and one can never be sure when they will blow up his/her mind. Every time I long for his next upload, an entrance to a world of mood, mystery and well hidden humor, in other words, an amazing world.
