About (Rimbaudian) / Gianluca  

The Major ... says:
"Conoscete la differenza tra il campione e il genio?
Per capire qualcosa di più darei un'occhiata al photostream di Gianluca o (Rimbaudian), animo creativo, simbolico e fantasticamente astratto nello stesso tempo.
Attenzione però correte il rischio di rimanere attaccati allo schermo per ore e ore e ore ..."

"Nelle sue fotografie ho trovato sempre un altro mondo da scoprire, riesce a trovare nel reale un'altra dimensione, soprattutto a far conoscere queste sue visioni ed esplorazioni agli altri."

Arkady Renko says:
"I first came across Rimbaudian in the DeleteMe group, and my first impression was that he seemed to be quite good at cutting criticism :) But, his acidic deleteme comments came to be a little bit comforting, because I always knew that if my photo was shit, he wouldn't pull any punches. I save those comments, like battlefield scars :)

I don't know much about photography theory, so I hesitate to throw around terms, but his work is surreal. He creates scenes that shouldn't rightfully exist, yet they somehow do on the screen, and there is enough hints of reality there to convince me for a second that my eyes are not deceiving me.

Wonderful stuff."

Prozac74 says:
"This guy is awesome. He knows how to get the interesting out of the ordinary. Put him into an all black room with a camera and one month later (hey, art takes time) he will come out with another masterpiece."

*Kit* says:
"Oh Jesus! He's such a genius!"

FotoRita [Allstar maniac] says:
"Rimbaudian è un vero vulcano di idee. Un fotografo eccezionale con un gran talento!"

"Exquisite art.....the quality seeps through his stream of work that keeps me amazed, gazing and wondering why the hell i can't do that!
every picture has a story and creative imagination is what he produces, its another realm and i truly believe him to be one of the best or i wouldn't be writing this....
all my best wishes and expectations of your future works....

Lateefa says:
"Gianluca, (Rimbaudian) is a genius artistic photographer.
His photographs are fuelled by his commanding surreal Imagination.
He takes you by the hand into his psyche, where he reveals fantastical tales that make you stop in your tracks, disconnects you from the real world and immerses you into his dimension.
Everything he does is refreshingly creative and inspiring; it is an absolute honor to be able to view what he creates."

lookin glass says:
"Gian is an acquired taste....and one certainly worth acquiring!!! His work is ever evolving, thought provoking, and just plain fun to look at. A truly unique spirit in the world of Flickr....I am very fortunate to have met him. Thank you, Gian, for sharing your wonderfully creative mind with us. You're a peach!"

fluffballs - Lisa says:
"Rimbaudian's photos are simply amazing. He really has a wild imagination and put to gether with Photoshop he comes up with some great stuff :).
Keep up the good work Rimbaudian. All your photos are fantastic."

CORpicX says:
"He has probably the most unique, individual photos on Flickr. I've not seen pics from anyone that can match the creative mind Rimbaudian has.

Period."

jericho_54 says:
"what can i say about ganluca that hasn't been said. His originality, humor, surrealism and manipulations are amazing and provocative. The look and feel of his pictures have a wit and sentimentality that is pure European. But his message is universal.

He is also a humble soul who takes time out to reply to EVERY comment. Goes to show you the type of person he is.

The true definition of artist AND integrity."

HITOMI SA says:
"you must love his work! so creativ, so intensiv, so sureal, so dreamy! just an amazing artist!"

"Ok, mi trovo a scrivere il mio primo testimonial della storia di Flickr. Per chi farlo se non per il GENIO della fotografia e del photoshop? Rimbaudian ha delle idee capaci di sbalordire gli occhi, la mente e l'anima, ma la cosa più bella è che Rimbaudian è uno dei Flickeriani più modesti e umili che abbia conosciuto.
Insomma, definire Rimbaudian un ottimo fotografo è troppo poco: io lo definirei un pazzo artista capace di farci rimanere a bocca aperta ad ogni suo upload.
Spero, un giorno, di vedere le sue opere pubblicate su una prestigiosa rivista (e, diciamolo, di incontrarlo in ambito pubblicitario).

Ok, I find myself to write my first one testimonial of the history of Flickr. For who making it if not for the GENIUS of photography and photoshop? Rimbaudian has some ideas able to astound eyes, mind and spirit, but the most incredible thing is that Rimbaudian is one of the most modest and humble Flickeriani i have known. Btw, to define Rimbaudian an optimal photographer is too much little: I would define him as a crazy artist able to make us remaining with opened mouth at every him upload. I hope, a day, to see its works published on a prestigious review (and to meet him in advertising agency). [Sorry for my bad translation!]"

zorglubb says:
"A master of composition, a connoisseur of color....Rimbaudian´s shot´s are without a doubt some of the most original images I´ve ever seen.

Despite their surreal nature, his thoughts can easily be related to......both enjoyable and thought-provoking work!!!"

sam j rollo says:
"Let me just say this right off the bat: Gianluca is a genius! i know, i know, people toss that word around without giving a moments thought to what it really means. but i've been viewing and re-viewing Gianluca's work for days, and i'm as sure of this as i'm sure of anything.
There are photographers here at Flickr that are absolutely excellent..not many, but some. then there are people like Gianluca..who is not only an amazing photographer, who sets up scenes the way a great director would (Martin Scorsese?), but then adds that magic that makes his work unique, and truly art in every aspect of the word. my hat is off to you, Sir, you deserve and have earned every accolade afforded you!

oh yeah, one more thing, i am American, but my heritage is Italian, so maybe thats why i connect so tightly with Gianluca's work :)"

seventytw0dpi says:
"I only just became contacts with Gianluca and looked through his entire photostream. This guy rules. He puts so much effort into each image, so much detail. Bravo!"

Sparkle~and~Fade says:
"There are very few photographers that are able to elicit a genuine reaction from their viewers - (Rimbaudian) is truly one of them. His photography is like no other I have seen on flickr. He is imaginative, boldly inventive and cleverly surrealist in his composition. Far above the cliche shots; his photostream makes it obvious that he is the master at multiple exposures, symbolism, abstract ideas and storytelling. His shots (especially with multiple exposures) are often both startling and mesmerizing. The colours are always rich and dramatic, making many of the shots seem cinematic. It's always a pleasure to view his stream and I look forward to more and always more! Keep up the good work!"

kucharo says:
"He's a goddamn genius."

monkeyc.net says:
"To look at your images is a joy, you are, without doubt, one of the most original photographers posting on flickr, awash in symbolism and just good plain old fashioned fun your work stands out in a sea of sunsets and kitten pics like a diamond ion a pile of gravel.

Art like this takes talent and an eye for the different and a taste for the surreal - keep sharing with us please :)"
