Testimonials
Clive Andrews says:
"The great thing about Kev is the fact that he manages to be simultaneously one of the best photographers on Flickr and also a bloody nice bloke.
He never lets his celebrity get in the way of his excitable and infectious enthusiasm, and he's always ready to lend advice to the likes of us mere mortals.
Respect the bearded one."
meire says:
"awe inspiring!!!!
one of the best photographers i've seen...."
Ice Nine says:
"Lomokev is clearly a Cuban spy.
Why?
Well it's obvious.
One. He uses a Lomo - not a flash Kiev but a cheap and nasty Lomo.
Two. He uses film. We all know Cuba is so far behind, that the digital age means a swanky wristwatch.
Three. His beard. One to make Fidel proud. And Ras-Pu-Tin too.
Four. English is clearly his second language.
Five. His apparent disdain for Mr and Mrs Gates and their charity.
And my solution?
Bung him into a wheelie bin and send him on the next slow boat to Cuba. With BleepBloop as company."
yvoluna says:
"I got fired up to take photos after Kev asked me to spell check his forthcoming photography book. I feel so privileged to have had this sneak preview into what promises to be an amazing book. So I'm already out there practicing his techniques while everyone else has to wait for the book to come out! As a thank you for spell checking his book, Kev set up a Flickr account for me, and there's been no looking back."

DarkDaze Photography says:
"Quite possibly one of the finest photographers named Kevin in Brighton. I respect his love of Portra VC, and of course the lomokevBeard®"

____federico____ says:
"when I saw his shots on flickr I decided to buy a lomo lc-a me too. and I have to thank you kevin.
scroll his photostream, tons of great shots."
Dave Gorman says:
"lomokev is probably the first flickr photographer I found that made me want to come back for more. I haven't got bored of his stuff yet and I doubt I will. He seems to shoot stuff faster than I can view it too."
Perpetually says:
"lomokev is legend. i like him because he reminds me that there is still a world of photography that doesnt include over photoshopped, supersaturated, pretty little flowers with bees on top, a bunch of seagulls flying through the golden sky, and HDRed landscapes, and i think-im-cool cuz i know how to do levels photography. plus i think hes funny."
Char Mae says:
"He has the sickest blue camel photo on the planet! Not to mention all the other blue photos.... and such!!!! I like Lomokev lots. He is not only a wonderful, inspirational photographer.... but it's a kick to read his flickr responses to his miscellaneous fans..... and such!! oxoxoxoxox Char Mae"

5olly says:
"Love the colours!"
TommyOshima says:
"Now Mr.lomokev.....Kevin, has been the biggest shining star since I started flickr, and he still is at the same place after 2 years!
Everytime when I come back to his photostream, I come back to my own starting point, and the emotions when I first encountered his works.
My eternal respect to this super hero!"
jon madison says:
"i've been meaning to write for several weeks, probably months, but never have. i mean what would i need to say?
so i figured i'd thank this dude for being an inspiration to me, showing me what *can* be done with an lc-a, and why film is so important...all through his photos.
cheers!
and oh yeah this is the cat who gave me the idea to put one picture in multiple sets! genius"

lorenzodom says:
"The man, the bloke, the bastard is a genius—plain and simple. I saw him drink three six packs of Budweiser the other night, and I just don’t know how he does it.
Bordering on cavalier, because his mind is always aglow with bright ideas, the man’s talent is awe-inspiring; the man I believe is actually-really-truly a demi-god in disguise…I saw his tail once (a long one) and he wears that bucket cap on his crown because I believe he has horns to hide.
Moreover, the guy is Loma King and the fresh prince of flickr too; and he has the bling-bling in every fricken colour imaginable to show it.
Oh, yeah, and let’s not furget to mention that the guys a chick magnet too…"
X-travalueMeal#2 says:
"Oh how I've watched my little Kevin grow. He can be a bit ornery when he doesn't get his custard but other wise he's of a gentle lot. Kevin why don't you run into ME sometimes? I'm always running into YOU. I think he both takes pictures and cuts his hair regularly."
Maya Newman says:
"Kevin's images are not only amazing and colorful but also direct & humorous. Very lomo & very British. Beauty with no bullshit!
Thanks for the inspiration...."
♥ shhexycorin ♥ says:
"I've been watching young Kevin Meredith with great admiration for quite some time now.
I moved to my current abode because it afforded me excellent views of Brighton Beach. From my bed, I can watch Kevin going for his daily swim.
He's a fantastic swimmer! Expert at the breast-stroke, but preferring to freestyle.
Kevin is 100% dreamboat, he looks damn H.O.T. in his tight red Speedos.
Hands off him, and hands off my binoculars. Cheers."
FatMandy says:
"Kevin is an artistic genius, looks good in a thong, and makes a mean fry-up in the same attire.
A bit worried that he gets his cock sucked by so many flickr users for his more mediocre pictures - though the better ones surely deserve it."
Dolores Luxedo says:
"Never trust a man with the word "lomo" in his name."
Baby Skinz says:
"Big Kev kindly used to dance when I DJ'ed and also got me my first lomo. Both of which I'm eternally grateful for."
neilclive says:
"Kevin is a picnic short of a picnic but we love him.x"
Presty says:
"You know it's the 21st Century, when the music is of this Calibre!"

kagey_b says:
"If you are ever in Brighton, and you see a tall bloke riding a red Brompton (compact fold-up bike) with flashing lights on his helmet, chances are it's Kevin.
I first met him at a World Dance rave and his physical presence scared me. Now it's just his mentality that scares me. A true old skool soldier...""
andydrew [rebuilding] says:
"There's not a lot I can say that hasn't already been said, but whenever Kevin's icon appears on my front page with new photos, it makes me happy as I know they'll be something special."
peppermintrock says:
"i am a great fan of kevin.
his colors are very very very cool!"
Blaise K says:
"are you kidding me? have you seen his sets? how is he not rich and famous by now despite that full frontal pic he posted from burning man?!
wish i could steal his eye for a day."
kk+ says:
"Kev is such a consistenly amazing and unique photographer that the only proper response to his work is to totally hate him."
ropeboy / sambr says:
"portraiture at its finest.
his images show the world in a new light.
from playful beach shots to lonely bridges this man is able to capture it all."
pablokorona says:
"an inspiration? nah, he doesn't inspire me. he makes me want to put my camera down because he's so good. I have nothing but respect for this guy. Keep it up."
P!ndaro says:
"a true inspiration and one of the few people that really, really, really fill me with photo envy. (good envy) cheers mate"

"if we could all see the world as this here boy, each blink of the eyelid would be an epiphany."

"I know for sure he is one of the best photographer I ever "met" and I saw almost all his work through the internet. Amazing!"
shoegazer says:
".lomokev has taken some of the most beautiful shots i've ever seen.
.thing is, he posts new ones EVERYDAY. consistently original in his ideas and compositions, and he knows his way around color. his photostream is a great reference for those curious about what a lomo can do."
