“I can’t say enough good things about his work and his vibe. It’s because of both qualities that he’s resident photographer for all Full Spectrum projects.” - Brian Tate, Founder Tate Strategy
“Ed Marshall is the man to go to if you want killer band photography. From the moment he came to afro-punk he hooked himself in with the community and made it his own. Now everyone knows, you’re not really down with Afropunk until Ed has caught you in his viewfinder” - James Spooner, Director & Founder of Afropunk
“Ed Marshall’s photos serve as a seductive documentary into a world of noise, rhythm, and beauty. As far as I’m concerned, Black Rock has found its true photogenic champion.” - Michael Gonzales, Artist/writer Wax Poetics
“Ferocity, passion, tenderness, introspection and much more: Each of his photographs captures that instant in which the subject being photographed reveals a truth. It’s not always grand statements about the human condition, but simply moments that are rich with the honesty of life.” - Rob Fields, Writer/ Black Rock evangelist, Boldaslove.us
“The power and passion that drive Ed Marshall are felt through his photographs. His complexity and depth, combined with his life experiences, enable him to capture a moment in a profound way. A photographer yes, but what is beautiful about his gift is that he is a talented storyteller.” - Nacala Jendayi, Youth Advocate/ Writer
“Not all of us are so touched to channel Kinetic Energy into our still images like Ed Marshall. By definition, anyone fortunate enough to view the images channeled through this man’s eye will see rigid bodies forced into rotation via his personal frame of reference. His pictures represent that not too often alignment in a humans life where Timing (be the fly on the wall) meets Opportunity (shoot what moves you) and Focus (taste). We should all be so blessed…” - J.Wilson Fielder, Filmmaker/Bighead Scientist
“Ed Marshall is a binary Ninja who explores light and sound through his weapon of choice, digital photography. He works like a phantom often capturing his prey unaware and at their most spirited moments.” - Boston Fielder, URB ALT and MuthaWit Orchestra
“I once had a conversation with a good friend regarding how his spiritual practice was called into question as “God” didn’t speak to him as directly as others. My reply to him was that Artists exist in a space akin to Warrior Monks. They exist within and without religion (a very human construct). The one and only goal of the artist is to bring visual to the Spiritual. No one documents a more beautifully rendered capture of atoms than Ed Marshall.” - Tim Fielder, Animation Director and Live Art Projectionist
