Frank's Photography - www.fotoheaven.net says:
"For me, Joel is one of the best photographers here on Flickr (and probably outside Flickr, too).
Not only does he do fantastic model shots, but he is so versatile that it is really stunning; in every picture one can see his deep passion for photography! And he has all the skills needed for producing outstanding pictures, and knows how to use them.
Whenever I klick on his name to view his latest additions I am sure I won't get disappointed. And I never was.
Keep your fantastic work!"1st September, 2009

"Joel is like an NBA rookie. His skills improves each time he shoots. I have seen his streams from day 1 and he finds ways to make his photos better and gladly accepts 'assistance' from his peers.
I definitely agree with Fonzie's comment, the models should be honored.
Happy Shooting and God bless Bro! =D"18th March, 2008

""Gerek sosyal yaşamdaki, gerek fotoğrafçılık hakkındaki benim için son derece önemli olan bilgilerini paylaşıp "Karaoğlanı"nı düşündüğü için ayrı bir sempatim vardır kendisine.
Bugüne dek gördüğüm sanırım en hırslı ve tutkulu amatör fotoğrafçı; gerçi amatörlüğüne ya da profesyonelliğine, kim, nasıl karar verebilir bilemem; ancak asıl mesleği fotoğrafçılık olmadığından ben "amatör" demeyi tercih ettim. Hiç şüphe götürmez ki, eline su dökebilecek pek fazla aynı kriterde de insan yok...
Başarılarının ve fotoğraflarının devamını dilerim...""26th February, 2008

"After crossing paths on Flickr, I got hooked up on his photostream. Why? Joel's portraits are very stunning, a department I'm lacking(or none at all). I'm really amazed how he got so many beautiful, gorgeous, stunning models and have them pose very artistically. But don't get me wrong on the portraits, this guy can shoot dozens more from candids to still life to...you get the picture?
Try browsing his stream, then you'll see."27th November, 2007

"Definitely a man full of creativity as manifested by the Fashion and Glamour shoots in his stream.
Have not met him personally but the photos that he shares to the community seems to speak into us. Thus the more we see his pictures the more we get to know this artist.
Good luck to you Joel and more power!

"Passionate, very funny, down to earth, kaibigan ng lahat and shy (ooops, that's not Joel, lol!) Joel is one person who would surely excel on anything that he has set his mind on. Didn’t know he would go this far when he went into this hobby early this year. Funny most of the time, he definitely is a friend to go to when you need serious advice about anything. One of the people I truly admire. Keep it up."

ronrag says:
"If there is one word befitting any description of this guy, i would say Joel is a very passionate person. when he's into a particular hobby, he would put his heart into it and find ways of perfection into what he's doing. a fast learner and technically equipped in knowledge and skills, he has a knack for learning anything. funny most of the time but deep inside he's a very sensitive and pragmatic person with high sets of values whom he acquired from the same school that we jointly went to.
a loyal friend and a great buddy to tag along with in any event or ocassion, this guy will treat everyone with respect and no wonder he can easily gain the admiration and high esteem of all the people he associates with. a very loving person, he knows how to delight a lady and amuse each and every girl he's with. i would say he's got great potentials in achieving photographic excellence and give him time, this guy will plainly surpass my intermediate knowledge on the craft but that is if he'll just take the cudgels of spending more time on photo editing.
mag photoshop ka na kase, Joel :)"22nd August, 2007
