Seasons

Cover of the fine art photography book Seasons By Edward Olive Seasons evokes a photographic journey through the times of the year. From the first outbreaks and shades that bloom spring passing by the light and heat of the summer trough the cold darkness that strips the trees in fall and winter. The appetite for experimentation has led Edward Olive to achieve new dimensions in the artistic description of urban spaces, transforming a simple glimpse of nature in a work of art. Widely known as an unconventional wedding photographer, Edward increasingly assign more time to capturing alternative shots in the backstage of his work and quite simply using his travels across Europe on paid assignments to produce opportunities to explore his personal projects. After experimenting adapting analog lenses to their digital cameras, in autumn 2006 he bought his first film camera, a 1980â??s Russian point-and-shoot (a cult Lomo LCA), using some very expired color film they were throwing out of the local photography store. Delighted with the dreamlike qualities and vintage colors, he hasnâ??t looked back. He continues to shoot almost exclusively analog cameras, still preferring the oldest expired film to load them. The pictures included in this book are almost exclusively from Edwardâ??s medium format Swedish Hasselblad 500 c/m cameras that are his favorites.
