It is an honor to write a testimonial for Gavin. His portraits touch something deep inside me because I see the vital essence of his subjects come through in his images. I want to know the story of each person. Gavin's images show the feelings that flow between subject and photographer. He feels an empathy for his subects and understands them and exposes their soul. A favorite image of mine is Charle BW Edit. It shows such depth of a beautiful soul capable of love and not overshadowed by his current hardships. It is always a pleasure to view Gavin's work and to feel overcome with emotions for his inspiring subjects.

Gav's photography captures the essence of the street. Not only does he photograph fleeting moments of emotion but the pictures are beautifully backed up with his narrative. Gav is passionate about the people he shoots, takes time to understand them and then captures a telling moment where the story stops and the emotion begins. I love looking at Gav's work and commend his work. Join his journey from Japan to London taking in all kinds of places in between and enjoy the friends you make along the way

I had the pleasure of meeting Gavin in person and taking photos with him in London in spring 2012. I was so fascinated by all the cool places he showed me, his hospitality, and the way he approached people on the street for capturing them with his camera. They all seemed to be very comfortable to be photographed by Gavin, who was supposed to be a total stranger. Gavin has a natural talent to let people open up, find something special that shines inside them. That's a precious gift most photographers, including me, can only dream of. To my eyes, it is clear that he is always in sync with his subjects. I wonder if he knows exactly how he does it as much as he does? It's also an indispensable quality for a photographer, in my opinion. Gavin, we are fortunate to have you here and be able to enjoy the world through your eyes.

Gavin has an eye for capturing people in a way that shows them off in the most human of lights. His work is unpretentious, pure, and uncomplicated. To look at a subject in his work, is to know them, to understand the etchings of their face, where they've been, where they are, and where they're going. Rarely do I see po… Read more

Gavin has an eye for capturing people in a way that shows them off in the most human of lights. His work is unpretentious, pure, and uncomplicated. To look at a subject in his work, is to know them, to understand the etchings of their face, where they've been, where they are, and where they're going. Rarely do I see portraits done in such a way that makes me stop and linger and think about the subject. His images are timeless and help show off the range of life that surrounds us whether we choose to see it or not. His work gives the most ordinary of people a chance to be seen and discussed and liked and favorited which maybe wouldn't happen on any other stage. In short, beautiful work done by someone who clearly has a passion for what they do.
