Is hard to use words to describe about his photos. Browsing his photostreams is like reading love novels. There is no one like him that capture cinematic moment as beautiful as he is. He is one of the first person I added on flickr. Keep in touch bro!!!

You know it all happened by chance, i was goofing around on youtube when i came upon this shoot by Misuk. And i thought, wow this has a nice personal touch to it! I've always been a fan of cinematic photography and i just love all those behind the scene captures and needless to say you can see how much effort they put in for each shoot. I was hooked. The next thing i know i was already at 6millteam's group page. And a couple of clicks more i got myself a Flickr account. So you see..if it wasn't for Misuk and the 6millteam, i wouldn't be here on Flickr. :D Now now let's get back to Marshall/Misuk/Riceboy, personally i like the flickr handle but have no idea what's the explanation for it, i'll just assume that's his love for 떡볶이.. Haha! Misuk's work is inspirational and i see him more than just a friend, a mentor. :) Looking back at his work from day 1, the street shots, the candids, the widescreens, the bokehs, the treatment he gives to each photo and the many other elements is beyond phenomenal. I believe he has the eye for it and he's really working it! You have to see to believe, and so i say to you, for those of you who loves portraiture photography and cinematic captures, you need to not only subscribe, i suggest you check out each and every photo. Learn from him, absorb it all and contribute back to the 6milteam. :x Oh well join the 6millteam as well if you even bothered to read the whole of this testimonial! So what's next? Certainly i'd love to work with him and the rest of the team. So until then, snap. xoxo, Stanley

Marshall is the first person I knew in Flickr. It's interesting how I found him - from youtube while I was searching about photography. His work blew my mind when I saw his work for the first time. It's from that moment that I took my first step into photography by his influence. I always love his portrait shots, and the way he shoots them. His work surprises me every time. My best wish is to have a chance to shoot with him and learn from him. Good job Marshall. Meet you soon, my friend. =)

I must say, seeing the work of Marshall "Riceboy" and the work of his friends in the 6MillionDollar team, really lit the spark in regards to picking up a camera on a more serious level and joining Flickr. i actually stumbled on his work first of all on Youtube and from then i was hooked! His Portrait work to me is such a high level and he knows that 'right moment' to take a shot. Amazing use of lighting and DOF in his photos, each one very different but has that 'riceboy' trademark. His support and comments really spur me on and i can honestly say seeing his work is pure inspiration for me Keep it up bro!!

Marshall is a photographer with a vision. He knows the look he's after and always gets it right on. I was originally drawn to his photostream by his unique processing and style. Professional yet artistic. But what really surprised me was his openness to accept me with friendship and continual support. Which I haven't found common among other flickrite superstars. I am grateful to be able to share my work with someone like him. Keep up the inspiration bro.

Viewing Marshall's works is always like watching a movie. With his own style capturing people and subjects, he delivered the final touch with his unique tones. And I'm in love with them, as I always wanting to see more. Thank you for sharing your wonderful works with us, Marshall! You're amazing & unique!

So, this man right here is an inspiration. His photography is poetic, his shots cinematic, his art: truly passionate. I'd be lucky if I got half the emotion he's able to convey, into my shots. Great great photographer.

This guy takes some of the most beautiful shots, captures and moments. Being one of my favourite flickr friends/contacts, he stays consistent with a cinematic style and quality within his photographs, making them look surreal and personal. He presents high quality photographs that never cease to amaze me.

January 21, 2008

He not only the great phtotographer, for me he as a friend of part of my life and his photo let people feel warm and happy. He are willing to share all the moment he got and reply your comment once you got doubt. He's great, hence you should not miss every picture he share. I call him as my 师父。
