John Louie is a photographer's photographer who's not afraid to help others. From digital to film, John has provided me with numerous suggestions and encouragement to improve my craft. Although an accomplished and busy photographer by day, John has taken my calls and answered my emails. Because of his assistance I have shot architectural interiors commercially and am now shooting and developing medium format B&W film for my fine art shoots. John Louie's work is stunning to say the least. His book, "Vibe: A visual study of modern San Francisco" sits atop my coffee table. A reminder that excellence can be achieved.

I have never written a testimonial for any of my Flickr contacts before, but I feel really compelled to write one for Louie. He is truly an artist with a vision and passion.

I have never written a testimonial for any of my Flickr contacts before, but I feel really compelled to write one for Louie. He is truly an artist with a vision and passion. Browsing through his photo stream is like drinking fine wine on a Saturday afternoon. I will never get tired of his landscape work of San Francisco and of the Golden Gate in various light and weather conditions. Thank you for sharing your great work, Louie!

What can I say that hasn't been said before. His fog work is what captured my attention. The fantasy feel of those images sprinkled with bits of reality (SF) is absolutely beautiful. I hope one day to capture some of SF fog myself and with John there I'm sure it'll be great! Almost forgot, you won't find a more con… Read more

What can I say that hasn't been said before. His fog work is what captured my attention. The fantasy feel of those images sprinkled with bits of reality (SF) is absolutely beautiful. I hope one day to capture some of SF fog myself and with John there I'm sure it'll be great! Almost forgot, you won't find a more considerate and thoughtful guy than John! For someone so good at photography, he certainly has the right to be pompous which in fact he is not but a very down to earth guy! I guess shooting beautiful women all day has the effect! :P

Louie is not only a great photographer, but one super nice guy as well. I do agree with his assessment of San Fran as I used to live at the nexus (San Fran/Emeryville/Oakland/Berkley) the place is phenomenal! His images reflect the beauty and diversity of his habitat, warm, sexy, inviting, stark, quirky, etc. One of th… Read more

His images reflect the beauty and diversity of his habitat, warm, sexy, inviting, stark, quirky, etc. One of the better and more diverse photostreams in flickr, Louie deserves all the accolades he receives!

I just discovered the art of this fantastic photographer and noticed that he has a "few" sunsets.... I thought I was the only one with so many sunsets but it's quite obvious that HE has me beat by a mile... and they are gorGeous, as are all of his images. I haven't met with him yet but am hoping to do so before I ret… Read more

His images are breathtaking, be it his sweeping landscapes to his beauty series. Louie also takes the time to provide positive feedback and encouragement as well, which speaks volumes of his personal character.

My only contact with this extraordinary photographer has been through flickr. since then i have forged a great relationship with what i redeem as not only a world class professional photographer, but a total world class human being. His photography shows a technical,creative,exciting and conceptual ability that i'm sure a lot of photographers would certainly aspire to.Myself included. I also would add that he produces images of both high emotional content and maybe sometimes the cheeky side of us humans. All in all,a friend, a gentleman,a helping hand when needed and a man that pushes the photography envelope in all the right directions!! If i were Peter Travers from Rolling Stone it would be 5/5 stars and stamped classic for this fine mans body of work! Bravo!

Here i am to say that he is a one hard working photographer I have notice so far. Most often I am inspired by his work. I can see clearly through his vision. His restless mind always wander of how to make himself become better and better in what he believe in. I appreciate his style of working, living, and believing, u… Read more
