  "Sinceramente uno de los Artistas que mas admiro, Luis siempre encuentra el sentir, el color y la composicion adecuada. Sigo pensando que fotografiar cine seria un paso natural para el. Si en una imagen nos hace sentir estas fotos, imaginemos lo que haria con algo audiovisual.
  
  Es un gusto conocerte Luis."

  "Simplemente Incuestionable el Profesionalismo de Luis. Tiene el Talento de captar el momento exacto, tiene la genialidad absoluta de ser un verdadero camaleón al captar todas las matices y contrastes, Tiene la sensibilidad depurada cómo para imprimir lo qué muy pocos pueden hacer en la Fotografia: Emociones."

  "Luis was one of the first fantastic photographers i discovered here on flickr. To me his work is exceptional, he has the skill to see the world from so many different views and to show that in his pictures.
  
  I like the "clean style" in his work, always technical on such a high level. I often read the word "cinematic" in the comments under his photos and i guess that this is the best word to describe most of them.
  
  I always appreciate seeing his pictures in my contact-list (by the way: his 365 stream is the most interesting one, i saw here) and i am always glad getting comments and advices from him. He is always willing to show how things work and is doing tutorials. i really like that attitude.
  
  i thought that it´s about time honoring Luis` great work with this little testimonial. Thanks for the inspiration!"

  "I would have never discovered that Luis was one of my favorite people in the World if it wasn't for Flickr. He is inexhaustable in his creativity and I look for new works everday (like all of his followers!). I look forward to being able to collaborate with the artist and find all of his tips super helpful. He is an inspiring artist and great friend (even if it's just on the ethernet)."

  "Luis is a trully professional photographer and 3d art worker. His photos are real masterpieces. I love his portraits with shallow dof and film like colours. I admire his cinematic wide format photos. And i want to thank him for finding time to make that beautiful video lessons on how to use lightroom and how to achieve such beautiful colours. Thanks a lot Luis! :)"

  "Luis is the kind of photographer that makes you strive to be better. Every single photo of his is striking, out of almost 2000 photos Luis has, not one of them will pass your eye, they grab your attention and pull you in. They are real, unposed, raw, and true. His art is something that i admire. Luis is definantly one of my favorite photographers of all time, and i am so lucky that he sees and critique my work."

However, the seeds from these visions are now planted in my brain and will blossem when i begin to see again. Those things which we can not until the creativity comes! Thank you!"

  Unfurled says:

  "Luis - you capture joy! Like a net reaching out for a butterfly, you are able to capture true beauty and put it into a jar for the world to admire.
  The clarity - not only in quality, but in your vision, is breath-taking.
  You are a true artist - imparting your ideas and artistic sense on the photos, but mostly just being able to see the true beauty of the surrounding world and letting it speak for itself.
  I respect your photographs more than you know.
  Thank you!"

  "There is so much to be said about Luis...
  He makes every moment, a magical moment! There's nothing he can't shoot. Every subject seems to have a story that, for one moment (one magical moment), has been captured quite authentically.
  In short... Luis is amazing!"

  "i am obsessed with your work, Mr Luis, what can i say?
  
  all your work are beautifully captured and precise, down to a tea.they provoke nothing but passion for photography and are gifts to the soul.
  
  the picture on my wall of yours reminds me that although the world might me getting uglier and darker each passing day, there are things still beautiful for us to capture, if we'd only take a second look. :)
  
  always a fan,
  Sophie"

  "Emotionally packed, thought-provoking, cutting edge, refreshingly dynamic imagery all coming out of the friendliest and welcoming guy I've ever met (electronically met anyhow). I'd love to collaborate on a film with him...it would be a cinematic jewel!"

  Charro Negro. says:

  "La fotografía es un ejercicio diario que en el caso de Luis Montemayor se convierte en un momento imperecedero... es realmente sencillo favoritear cada una de sus imágenes, todas son entrañables porque mantienen el aroma y la luz del momento que representan. Darse una vuelta por su página es requisito diario para comenzar el día."

  "It's always a pleasure to see one of Luis's photos in my contacts list; his shots have such a cinematic quality to them (whatever that means!) and i think it's a testimony to his skill and vision that he gets them out of his canon rebel. i love luis's work."

  adderall_223 says:

  "Luis is one of my favorite photographers. He seems to live in that space just below the surface of life capturing those things that would normally go unnoticed. His captures are sometimes moody sometimes light but always soulful and unique. He is selfless in his knowledge and has continually inspired my photography. Add this guy to your contacts, watch his style, watch his eye, watch his process, you'll be the better for it.
  
  Thanks Luis for the advice and the inspiration."

  "Quedé impactado con tu trabajo, es excelente, tan solo de ver algunas fotografías sentí la necesidad de ver las demás, tu podrías hacer que un trapo viejo luzca atractivo sin importar lo percudido y feo que pudiera estar. Eres un profesional en todo el sentido de la palabra.
