About motionid / Sean Wood  

Manny Santiago says:
"Motion ID is a Man of many talents, not least of which is Art Direction within the camera. While most wait for post-production, our man with the "blad" sees true to the heart of the image with homegrown grids and built in angles so his laser-vision has more time to capture the awe of the natural world and less time to sit behind the computer."

Oliver J. Taylor says:
"Sean is such a phenomenal guy, a phenomenal artist, and an especially phenomenal photographer. His photographs consider mood, atmosphere, tones and shapes in an amazing fashion. This is quality work. Admire it and cherish it, for this is Sean expressing himself through utter brilliance.

Enjoy."

Sean has it."

"Never has there been a more honest or more sincere gentlemen of distinction whose photos, words can do simply no justice.

What an extraordinary honor it is to know you and take photos by your side. You are truly, in every way, my hero..."

* tathei * says:
"this guy does many great shots especially those candid night shots i love the most〜

so i don't believe what he says "a beginner in photography",... i never see beginners using 1D and "L" lenses.... (；＿；）"

Oberazzi says:
"Pick a page, any page, in motionid's phtostream.Go there now and look at the amazing pictures you will find. Enjoy!

[If you are still reading this, you don't do what you are told and are reading my blah blah blah about motionid's photos, In my opinion, you time is better spent immersing yourself in his photos.]

motionid has mastered the art and science of shooting 'street'. He employs superb composition and camera-work to capture the essence and context of real life. Shot mostly in Tokyo, his images, of single-minded firemen, of crowded commuters, of bearded old men, of over-the-tp teenagers, bring you right onto the street and subways where you meet real Tokyo face-to-face.

So, I will say it again. Go now. Look, learn and enjoy."

Fa.bian says:
"I just discovered his photographs and I have to admit that I am really amazed with his work. Titles are needless, just take a look at his photographs and you get the feeling. Well done, keep at it!"

capsul says:
"Not only is Sean an amazing and passionate photographer, he is also one upstanding member of the human race."

Uchujin says:
"GREAT street photographer with so much integrity.
Fantastic captures of human expressions and feelings.
And a gem amongst men.
Im happy to call him a friend."
