This link was lost in the crash so I thought I would repost it since someone was talking about Joey and I know Joey & Manny from the same site.

Yep he's really good

holy cow! T he first image my eyes go to is the peacock one... This guy's amazing, I think I'm in love... (I'm sure my husband won't mind...)

Great work--wow--Thanks for posting it Matt!!

edit: I seriously stopped breathing when I saw some of those pictures... (now checking ticket prices to Thailand)

Yeah Manny runs seminars. WOO.. I wanna go to one. Maybe we can all fly him to OSP USA?

M

If I could afford to go to OSP USA, I'd so totally be for that...
but his locations are so amazing--they add so much!!--Let's go to Thailand Matt!! (then you and I can come run a seminar here... I'll like, hold your reflector or something )

I have been following Manny for awhile. He also posts alot on betterphoto.

He is simply amazing. He also claims to use mostly avalaible light.

From what I remember that's pretty true. He's the type of guy who literally walks into the room, doesn't say anything for a minute, then *gets* the light. I think "better" photography skills can be taught but I'm not sure I can learn what it is Manny does. lol

Gotta be the Nikon gear

Sorry Matt, just had to say it

He is amazing, such creamy skin tones. Please let OSP know if he is having a seminar in the US.

I just emailed Manny to see if he would do one in the US - and if so how much that would cost us.

Great stuff..

Jim Fiscus's images are cool - but too small on his site!

i'm not fond of jill greenberg at all. just a style im not into.

wow - bookmarked.

The shot of jim's dude kicking his leg up made the cover of communication arts....impressive

Thanks for this link Matt. Manny's portraits are amazing. Did I just say amazing? What I meant to say was AMMMMMMMMAZING! WOW! AWESOME! I wanna travel!

Oh and Mr Donald Duck, thanks for that Jim Fiscus link too - someone mentioned him to me earlier today & I wanted to look him up but had forgotten the name! I guess it's one of those funny coincidences popping into this thread today and seeing that name...
