nosdy / Pierre Belhassen says:
"Great...it works...Well, what could I say which could describe Gary's Art ?...No engineer looks at a remote control without wondering how to transform it into an hypodermic gun...Gary could not look through a camera without making a master-piece...he's a genius."

bemjjg says:
"Gary's photo is amazing beautiful, His photo have a beautiful story. Every one see his flickr will looooooove photos. He is excellent photographer."

tetradite says:
"Mr Isaacs seems to understand intimately the skills of taking a photograph and the art of creating an image.

Anyone can take a photo, most people can even take a good photo, but in my mind creating a great image is about using our photographic tools and skills to alter the strict 'reality' a camera is capable of recording into something which more resembles how we feel about what we see, rather than just reproducing what it is we see.

That's what you'll find on this photstream. Damn high quality images. Stuff you can get your teeth into that'll actually make you think about what you are looking at, and what you feel about it. Images with moods and lives of their own.

I'm rambling now, and if you're still reading this then you've already wasted too much time not looking at Gary's work, so get started..."

.Shukri says:
"Gary's work is in a league of its own. I admit it ... I've shamelessly tried to copy what he does. Tried. How does he get it so very, very right?"

_Vorfas_ says:
"Gary's photos are magical and deep. An amazing photographer with a lot of skill.
His pictures tell us wonderful stories. He has a unique personal style that keeps people coming back.
His work blows my mind...I love how each piece is created upon much thought and processed into magical worlds."

rougerouge says:
"si la photo avait un son, ce serait B.B. KING"

Ethereal muse says:
""My profile reads...."wanting to be moved by your photographs"......and Gary Isaacs does just that. He unfolds a story before us through his images, and allows us to narrate. His images speak to us, coaxing us to verbalize the emotions that are evoked when perusing his stream. He is a master story teller and proves the old adage that a picture is worth a thousand words. Thank you Gary for moving me...for allowing your photos to speak for themselves.....and for giving me something to look forward to each and every time in your stream......""

agardnas says:

[] bichito [] says:
"I know G.I. likes old blues. There's an everlasting appearance on the blues iconography: the Devil, the shadow behind us. G.I. acts as a photographer knowing that shadow is more important than the main image itself."

Benjamin Goss says:

"such an inspiration, thank you..."

outblissed says:
"simply inspiring. every image tells a story, shows an emotion, makes you think then look and think again."

Andrew Shapter says:
"I'm been a shooter for years and I am all too familiar will the staleness that comes from repetition. Sometimes we have to branch out and view others work in order to garner that much needed inspiration.

When I discovered the work of Gary Isaacs, I found that inspiration. His images are consistent in style, yet diverse in content. That ain't easy to do over time, yet, he does it. Scroll through his photostream and you'll see what I mean. I salute him for his very inspiring work!"

Amanda Olbrys says:
"im at a lost for words when looking at his images they are truely powerful and strong."

ZoeRuth says:
"Gary's photos evoke senses and memories of another time, on alternate planes of the imagination. He has a divine gift for taking mundane day to day scenes and transcending them between pockets of reality and fantasy. He drenches his images in the warmth of the past, and yet pulls inspiration from the candor of present time. His work is graphic, yet wreaking of care and subtlety. His artistic range is matched only by his kindness : )"

Leah Makin Photography says:
"This man has most breathtaking set of photos i've found so far!
You can see the great amount of time spent of them, not only taking the photo, but the post-processing too.
A great find on flickr and a true inspiriration."

in the secret garden says:
"Your images are soul.. depth and soul... beauty and poetry.....they move my heart. .. they move me the floor.... they show me a very different world.. a world very deep, beautiful histories sleeps in your dreams..

It is a pleasure to see your work... and I feel very happy of having found... !!

I would like to say a lot but.. my English is not very good... so you excuse me.... poetry... it leaves your body.. .."

stellalee523 says:
"gary isaacs is one of my favorite photographer on Flickr.His esthetics is totally transcendent!My heart always fall to immeasurable depths between his works,and a lot of time are spent in silent concentration!I can't help throwing off my mind to experience the uncertainty of air in his world.There are such spaces that I can't think but feel.

I think what gary isaacs pursuit is the spiritual part of art! So I can always follow the extensiveness of it being with my emotion.Everytime,I just throw off my mind to experience his unusual odor which filled his works. Through those exclusive odor,I can perceive his profound soul,and I'm deeply affected by the inward part of it !

To my mind,gary isaacs is a great photographer as well as a great poet,because He expressed the depth of every image as if he wrote a great poem.No one would miss or fail to see. Such beauty exists here to all who would stop and feel. Do you see it? Just looks like the fluid time is frozen,and waiting to be born......"

anon nona says:
"I don't think I've ever seen photographs so thought provoking as these. Each and every photo a work of art."

flickrgrit says:
"Gary Isaac is undoubtedly an exceptional artist, and if there was an option to fave the whole photostream, I would do so. I have mentioned to him before that his work belongs in an art gallery.

I have been grappling on how to describe his outstanding work. After reading the testimonials, I believe I finally got it - a master storyteller ! Photographs with soul.

And I must admit I was like Brett Walker, another superb artist, and I wanted to go get myself a pinhole camera and try to weave the same magic as Gary. Of course, it will never be, as his art and stories are his alone ..."

p.h.y says:
"gary is an exceptional photographer --- he seems distanced from the subjects but simultaneously giving them the gentlest embrace with his cam."

jordan1962 says:
"I just had a look at Gary Isaac’s picture "The House That Burned" and thought: Welcome to the photostream of the ultimate storyteller on Flickr!
I will not attempt to comment on any technicalities. I honestly have no clue how he creates his images but I do know that they are pure art and that it will be a fantastic privilege to see him work...
Gary’s ability to charge his images emotionally is unsurpassed and their mood and atmosphere grab you at the moment you set eyes on them. His titles are kind of revelations (the kind that instantly thickens the plot and creates even more layers to the story). His compositions and his choice of light, shade, models and textures are breathtaking. His images are incredibly vivid and are bound to stay with you! I am sure that his cinematic talent will be noticed (sooner rather than later) as he already has more than enough images on his stream for at least a couple of cult films. While I am enjoying his presence on Flickr, I will be keeping an eye for my invitation to his first première."

LOWONLANDS says:
"PURE ART .. . .. .. .. ..

'Gary isaacs' has a great eye to create art. I have been watching your portfolio; it has been a very rewarding experience. It has been very intense, therefore tiring. What impresses me it is that the style is appropriated to the message, idea, concept or whatever you want to convey. The toning of your photos emphasizes this quality. Congrats to you and to them for the wonderful body of work that you have presented here. The images transcend the subject and move into a highly personal area that's endlessly satisfying to look at. I can see your hand behind every one of these images. You seem to have a firm grasp on the indefinable quality that rises rote pictures to the level of pure artistry. The use of colors, textures, lighting and pose are spot on in the vast majority of images in your portfolio. Thanks... you are a great artist. I look forward to see more.

Thanx for so much inspiration

"When i was viewing his works, i went totally speechless. The cinematic, dramatic and sensational touch of them really took my breath away. . Surrealistic and there is a mystic aura on all the photos... Really admire you and your talents!!"

`michelleBlack says:
"I have never seen such atmosphere. I idolize your talents"

WatermelonSugar says:
"gary issacs' photos are nothing short of utter brilliance.

i could ramble on about how is last name isnt trouble
and a myriad of other things i'm sure
but the important thing here is that
you quit reading these testimonials really
and look at some things that are
real and frank and amazing.
Some things that really resonate for me-
gary isaacs' photos.

Sometimes you look at someone's photos and you see yourself.
And that is a strange and wonderful thing."

...cathzilla says:
"Damn.....

This guy is on flickr since less than one month, and his stream is already a pure marvel, a delight...
There's only masterpieces offered to the eyes.

I'm so glad to have discovered him and his work,
Gary is one of these photographers that makes that it would be crazy to abandon flickr ;)

Please, continue to amaze us !"

[brett walker] says:
"Gary isaacs reminds me why i love photography
looking at his work inspires me to run outside to the shed
build a shoebox camera and like a small boy photograph the first thing i see.
His Polaroids are master pieces and his casting is genius.
If Gary's work doesnt make you want to take pictures
your already dead."

Anna Osk says:
"Original to the max...stunning shots that stay with you for a while..and you wish you had taken them yourself!
I've basically favored half of his stream...because I want to be able to look at them over and over again!
Gary's stream is one of a kind, that is my honest opinion!
