‘Edmaier defines nature photography anew and vindicates familiar landscapes to pure abstraction. Hardly ever in recent times, have we seen such beautiful nature photography.’ FotoMagazin, D

"… he discovers the earth in a new way, for himself and for us. …the pictures are amazing, pictures we’ve never seen before. Pictures that tell us in a special way of the power of nature and of the transience of time… Edmaier’s pictures are hyper-concrete and at the same time enchantingly abstract. They are like a hymn to the beauty of nature….like a song announcing the magnificence of our planet." ARD (German Television), Kulturweltspiegel, 27 November 2004

"aerial photograpgy at its sexiest .... landscape photography at its most remarkable .... a sound primer in geology and environmental ecology." Ag. Winter 2005, UK

"Bernhard Edmaier raises the art of aerial photography to new hights. His images are hauntingly impressionistic, even as they display a clarity of tone and texture that recalls the sharp-focus realism of Eliot Porter ...." Natural History Magazine, Dezember 2004, USA

"... this isn’t so much a song, as a rhapsodic symphony to the untouched parts of our planet. Earthsong shows the world from [a] God’s-eye view, and you can understand that he might have seen it and thought that it was good." Gay Times, November 2004, UK

"brilliant .... Earthsong is more than just a "coffee-table" book – it is a visual polemic. In Germany it is titled "Das Lied der Erde – Song of the Earth", after Gustav Mahler´s composition of 1908. If we continue our policies of plunder and pillage, Edmaier is reminding us, there will be no Lied and no Erde ever again. For now, though, the Earth is still singing."
