"Guy is masterful at capturing his subjects in a naturalistic, simplistic, and near-cinematic manner. His portraiture and fashion shots are sparsely elegant, aesthetically pleasing, and gorgeously executed. Guy's photos reveal the highest level of technical skills... as well as his ability to seize his subjects' personas and psychological states in a very real and unpretentious way. At times, the compositions and structuring of his photos mimic those seen in films but without hinting at a specified story. Rather than imply a narrative, Guy implies an emotion. Above all, Guy's images are straightforward, blunt in their beauty, and believable." - Kristina Martino

"El reto no es inventar lo sorprendente sino descubrirlo."

 

"El disparo fotográfico, que es un dibujo accelerado, hecho de intuición y de reconocimiento de un orden plástico, fruto de frecuentación de los museos y de las galerías de arte, de la lectura y una curiosidad por el mundo." -HCB.

I personally would certainly add film and music.
