    Richard Singh says:

    "I have been close friends with Artisan (aka Gerad Coles) for almost 15 years now. Gerad has a keen eye for detail on whatever he is concentrating on. This is the key behind Gerad's amazing photography. If you only notice one thing in his work, notice his composition. Gerad takes the normal view of his subjects, and captures them beyond normality to create something truly unique."
