Jeff Engelhardt says: Amazing lenses are useless without a good artist. John showed the power of a fast prime (85mm f/1.4) lens by placing a beautiful subject between strong lines and created a beautifully deep image . . when most of us just have blurry backgrounds.

Jeff Engelhardt says: I could fill a gallery with Anthony's stuff. Anthony's work represents to me meticulous attention to detail and absolute technical precision. I mean seriously, look at this. He's also a great mentor. I owe about 75% of all I know about lighting to Anthony.

Jeff Engelhardt says: Jerry is one of the best black and white artists that I know. And like me, he's blessed with a beautiful daughter (hee hee). What's amazing about this is - you see high key shots and you see low key - but you never see bright people against black. A different monochrome style that works perfectly. And the eyes!!!

Jeff Engelhardt says: Joel is one of the most respected professionals on flickr. It's obvious why. One of the masters of hard, dramatic, and edgy lighting, his outdoor athletic portraits are incredible, and encyclopedias of lighting technique and inspiration.

Jeff Engelhardt says: Stephen Moore - most of you know him for his landscapes. Combining a strobist portrait with a long exposure though - one of the coolest images I've seen.

Jeff Engelhardt says: Sometimes the best portraits come from being far away from people. Often the details of an expression aren't as important as the environment. Or in this case - what the person in the image sees that you can't.

Jeff Engelhardt says: Sometimes it's simply about *style*. I'm not a fashion person, but I know it when I see it. Barbara also has pretty darn good expression - and something unusual like the diptych is a great way to change it all up.

Jeff Engelhardt says: Another thing about Anthony - technical person that he is - part of his greatness is he knows where to break rules. A steadfast rule has been "never shoot portraits with a wide angle lens" - Anthony figured out how to greatly improve portraits by breaking that very rule.
