  "I really like how Demetrius doesn't let concepts like composition, tonality, mood, and focus get in the way of his photography. Apparently, he isn't too lecherous with his models, either. :)"

  "Demetrius has managed to convey grace, humor and the beauty of the human form in a remarkable way that is neither crass nor tasteless.
  His work is remarkable for its honesty and directness, a true window of excellent taste and great skill. His muses and the landscapes depicted are a breath of fresh air that invigorates body,mind and soul."

  "Nude photography usually is either tasteless and raunchy or dull and monotonous, but that's not what happens with these photos!"

  "Images that speak of a comfort about the body, a peace with the body that is rare today. In the biopolitically-dominated world, every time you turn your head, whether when you go to the doctor or turn on the news, you get the message that your body isn't yours, that you don't know yourself. Men and women. I am glad to see work that liberates in this sense, without enslaving the body further to simple visual candy. Starring models who own themselves and show it."

  "Tanguero's photos remind me of an epigram from Oscar Wilde: "The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible." While his book title, Beneath The Skin, reflects the depth that sets his work apart from so many other photographers, I think it's not so much that he sees beneath surfaces as that he truly sees the surfaces and takes it upon himself to make us see them. For many photographers, the nude body is a sort of interchangeable typographical symbol to be recognized but not really seen. Demetrius has the gift of vision, and it's apparently a gift that grows the more he gives it away."

  "There is so much to say about tanguero, and so much that has already been said. My favorite part, the icing on the cake of consistently wonderful images, is the way his photographs radiate respect for his models. He says that people have become "fearful of the awesome power of the feminine." Indeed, but tanguero has embraced it, explored it, and shared it with us :)"

  Ravages says:

  "Demetrius's photos, to state the very obvious, are very stunning.
  
  It's easy to take photos of nude women and get loads of comments and loads of faves and views. It's extremely difficult, when photographing beautiful women, to let their personalities and their quirks, their moods and likes to shine through despite the obvious titillation. Demetrius's photography and the women who are his models does the latter with great ease. Each photo, every girl is unique and beautiful. Above all this, each photo shows the ease with which he treats his models, the fun and frolic of the moment.
  
  Stunning, jealousy inducing stuff, in short."

  "Quello che mi piace di queste fotografie è la semplicità, la naturalezza che ne traspare, le modelle donne e non bambole, la loro "presenza reale" nelle immagini.
  
  What I like about of these photographies is the semplicity, the nature that to traspare some, the models are women and not dolls, their “real presence” in the images.

  "This mans work is amazing! He has ways of capturing a womens beauty like nothing else I've seen in so long or maybe even ever.
  He ranks high with other artists of his genre present & past with the ability to create & capture beauty within beauty. I always look forward to whatever he posts next, it's always a delight. A true specticle to the minds eye."

  "Mr. Demetrius González is a master. His photos are very balanced. They are not flashy but natural.Not obsene, but very desirable. It is obvious that when one looks at Mr. González's photos, one sees not just the master taking great passion and pride in his works, but also the models themselves who have a spirit of l'amour de la vie."

  "I'm learning a lot just by looking at Demetrius' photos. There's a certain quality to his work, i'll call it delicacy, until I can think of a better word. Always beautiful stuff, with a mastery of photographic technique."

  "I have to tell you that I'm one of those who rarely gets the time to view the work of his contacts, yet it seems whenever I do, your work jumps off the page and into my mind.
  
  You have a unpredictable sense of humor and a real talent for bringing out the unusual aspects of your models. When blended with the masterly skill of your technique, this makes for some very powerful photography.
  
  One of your photos seems to imply you are going through a transitional stage in your life, I wish you well as I am doing much the same.
  
  Photography seems to be the only constant right now.
  
  Best wishes, Bard"

  "Demetrius is a star! It's rare to find a guy who takes pictures of beautiful girls and who lets their personality shine through beyond a mere pose for the camera. These pictures are works of art, but also works on humanity; that makes these gorgeous pictures just so special! And if it's not stunning girls you want to see, his heart is big enough to take pictures of many other things."

  "Tanguero has a sense of style that he brings to the women in his photo shoots. He builds them up instead of tearing them down as some nude photographer's unfortunately do. Take a look through his photo stream to see the artistic ability that nude photography should always portray!"

  Sparkle.... says:

  "Tanguero has a wonderful way of bringing something different to nude photography. He is able to bring out a very personal sense of intimacy with his models, something that allows the viewer to connect in a special way....to feel involved. Sometimes quite erotic, and other times boldly innovative (but best of all are the times when the two are combined), Tanguero's stream is delicious and inspires me to step outside of my own photographic comfort zone."

  "Tanguero and his beautiful partner Tanguera69 were pretty much the first people I discovered on Flickr, in that lovely way that we stumble across images by accident. I have been so touched by the wonderful energy between them that I feel better and more loving myself through enjoying their work. Excellent architectural and model work too. Thank you, you two, for sharing your world with us."

  "One of the most prolific fine art nude photographers on Flickr! Not only is he able to capture the essence of a woman perfectly, his love for architecture and the pics inspired by it leave me constantly perplexed as to what I like more...his architecture or nudes....regardless, Keep it up!"

  "I can't say enough about Tanguero. His work is inspiring. Studying his photographs has improved my own work, and he's been very gracious in sharing insights and tricks whenever I have asked. He also allows his sense of humor to show through in his work, something too many photographers are afraid to do. For these, and innumerable other reasons, he has become one of my favorite photographers."
