ED ZOLLO is a photographer from London.
Zollo's passion for photography started at a young age while carrying his dads camera bag, helping with the lenses and film and spending multiple weekends at weddings. Although his dad's photography had a large impact on his life, he didn't like it (photography) and wanted to be free by playing with his friends; soon however, he rediscovered his passion.
Zollo, like Vandervell, focuses on street life, with London streets and events being his main subjects.

It is to my liking that Zollo's images capture the essence of mystery with the questionable actions of the multiple figures. Similar to Rupert Vandervell's images, the figures draw the audiences attention and adds a deeper meaning. For example, an unknown analyst describes Zollo's "voyeuristic, dimly lit" images as "transform[ing] innocuous London scenes into something altogether more sinister; a dinner between two friends, for example, suddenly feels like a clandestine meeting of international intrigue"
"His voyeuristic, dimly-lit shots transform innocuous London scenes into something altogether more sinister: a dinner between two friends, for example, suddenly seems like a clandestine meeting of international intrigue. An appropriate aesthetic for our constantly under-surveillance city, for sure."
I'm keen on the tinge of cold colour his images hold as it develops a more night time feel and adds to the mystery of the unknown.
