  Miss Lulu & The Teaspoon Shortage says:

  "Every time I see a new image from G, I'm in awe of the spectacular lighting and quality of the images...I strive to become as polished and professional! I'd like to pick his brain one day..."

  "his pictures are what i would describe using the word perfection. not perfection in a cold neutral way. perfection in a way of combining the exact right amount of stunningly gorgeous models, the right light, the right settings, the right portion of humour and sophistication. and from what i know he is an incredibly lovely guy himself. even though our styles (and state of professionalism) can't compare, i feel like we're seeing men through a similar pair of eyes.
  
  your pictures always cheer me up, gabriel! we're lucky to have you here."

  "I don't write testimonials for anyone.
  
  So this isn't a testimonial. It is a letter of intent to someday propose marriage.

  p.s. Now that i have met you in real life I feel compelled to update this, but only to add the following: everything I had hoped about this man is totally true. I have never met someone better."

  Mr. Moog says:

  "A testimonial for Gabriel is pretty much one of the rules of flickr these days I think. I have yet to come across another stream that contains such consistantly stunning work. Influenced by fashion, culture, trash and glamour, it is always a pleasure to come back time after time in the hope that something new has been posted.
  
  On top of that, he's an engaging and wonderful friend and I'm incredibly happy that I know him. Now hurry up and take your clothes off, for Christ's sake."

  "EASILY one of my favorite streams on flickr.
  
  Gabriel is so unbelievably talented... I just know that one day (soon), I'll be looking up at billboards and flipping through major fashion mags and clapping with glee at his imagery. I also wish that I still lived in SoCal, so that I could apply to be his gaffer... if only to look at all that pretty... and soak up a little bit of his charm and brilliance!"

  "A true talented photographer. He has irony, he can be caustic or parodistic, but has the great quality of a strong technique. I'll follow his work more and more!"

  "I've admired Gabriel's work over the past few years and it has gotten so tight and beautiful.
  
  G, all of your hard work really shows...and it doesn't hurt that you have a great sense of humor, excellent casting and storytelling abilities. You're going places, Sir!"

  Aaron Edwards says:

  "You know, I think I'm the best artist ever so if I ever take the time to write one of these things you know it has to be serious.
  
  G-squared, or Gigi if you will, is really the only real photographer out there. The rest of us are hacks. we suck, and we should get on our knees and chant, "I'm not worthy..." (okay I used sucking and knees in the same sentence and wasn't being sexual - what are the chances?)
  
  In all seriousness - I do love this man's work. He also happens to be a good guy which is very cool. My hope is that he will run from the commercial side of photography (despite the tons of money he could make in the genre) and do a serious series that puts him in galleries across the globe. If he were stock, I'd buy him.
  
  If my testy - moan - ial is misspelled with poor grammer, well I might be drunk, but that should not take away from the feeling behind everything I say about this wonderful, wonderful man."

  "I thought it was time again, to write another testimonial for G!
  Even though he is still studying and learning, his work improves every single time I see it.
  
  Fresh, sexy and gorgeous! Each photo bursts with sleek lighting and subtle retouching.
  
  I have no doubt this boys work will be in a magazine near you soon!
  
  Keep up the sumptuous work my lovely!
  
  Robbie"

  "From the moment I discovered Gabriel's work he became someone I regularly checked in on to see what visual delights he had provided on his page, and not once has he ever failed to impress. Nothin' but pure class in his work everytime, and definitely someone born to wield a camera. An absolute A+ photographer!"

  introspective says:

  "What makes celebrities look different? When you open the magazine and see their skin, their lips, their confident stare at the lens, there's a certain sparkle that adds to their aura of myth. They are not ordinary people like us. There must be some sort of hidden technique known only by those in the studio.
  
  Well, Mr. Gabriel "Whipflash" masters that secret and crosses that boundary all the time. Throughout his photos and portraits, you are led into the magic universe of glittering human beauty that makes magazines sell out and idols achieve fame.
  
  The thing is, there are no famous people here, but mostly people like you and me (OK, they may be a bit better-looking, but that's it). Gabriel's lens brings the stardom out of common people and makes them shine. You see a portrait and have the feeling you're the only one who still doesn't know and love that person.
  
  Gabriel's pictures are a feast to the eyes. His men are invariably hot and his women are evenly glamorous, but never in a cliché, predictable way. He has found the perfect blend of sophistication and sex appeal. There's always an irresistible touch of wittiness and humour that teases you and makes you believe there's much more about the portrayed person than what meets the eye.
  
  If you were granted the chance to ask a fairy to transform you into a star, you can bet the fairy would rush for Gabriel and his magic touch. He is definitely doomed to Hollywood, because he has Hollywood in his eyes and written all over his work."

  David Maury says:

  "Everyone should have a good look at Gabriel's work! Ever since I stumbled across him, I always found his pics inspiring and original and truly wonderful. Gabriel has an eye for class and his portraits just ooze sophistication and have that 'professional' feel to them that is so hard to achieve. That boy is on his way to pure genius I'm telling ya!
  
  His other endearing quality is his kindness which shines through his entertaining comments and of course he's witty and clever as can be, taking the time to go beyong the usual 'great' or 'beautiful'. When he was away for a few months I did miss his presence and was so glad to find out he came back to haunt us. Last but not least: he's a hansome devil & a charmer like no one! I'd marry him if I wasn't already spoken for! Go Gabriel, keep inspiring us!"

  "Stunning, amazing, wow, fantastic, sexy and smoldering are just some of the words I've used to describe Gabriel's work. He is amazing photographer. If you haven't looked at his stream thoroughly, it is something you should really do. You may want to start with his Sin City project...it was executed impressively and definitley a must see. I can't wait to see what he shares with us next!"

  "Richard Avedon once said, "My portraits are more about me than they are about the people I photograph."
  
  Gabriel's super sweet heart is what shines through in his shots. Truly fabulous talent. One to watch, most definitely."
