Beau Hooker Photography

Love your portraits and street stuff. You definitely have a knack for it. Keep up the great work. Good luck to you.

I really like your work. and your posts in the no words forums. it is all great stuff.

Very nice work, Beau-the entire collection is beautiful. Very creative.

your work is very earthy and unpretentious, they also give off a happy "vibe" thanks for sharing

It is nice to see photographs like yours, for it tells me story that there are still photographers out there. Daniel OB

Amazing portfolio from start to finish. I love colours and the contrast in your images, and a vein of style that runs through your entire body of work. I will take some more time to study your work in more detail and try to learn from it.

Thanks for sharing. Damian Bradley

You have a fun variety in your portfolio. The cats are precious. Tho' my favorite picture is Pat Methney since he's my absolute favorite musician in the world! Ok so I'm slightly biased. elisabeth

Beau, Anyone who has 46 cat photos, with more to come I'm sure, is a hit in my book. But to see so many healthy and happy cats is heartwarming. For the last 33 years I've had one or more cats living with me, the most at one time being six. This image from your portfolio: "White Cat" reminds me of my old friend Trucker who live with me for 13 years.

Besides your cats, you also know some beautiful ladies: "A Beautiful Example". Give them hugs for me. I too enjoy the images that you post on No Words and your "tongue in cheek" or "twisted" view of the subject being posted. I always enjoy your postings and am looking forward to more from you.

A master photographer of all aspects of the craft, a magnificent portfolio but also you are a gentleman.

May you and your camera go on forever.

Many thanks for sharing your pictures and expertise,

Kev

Outstanding portfolio ............... and I love the Cat Album. Great work.

You have SOOOO MANY great pictures in your portfolio, I'm surprised you are not more high profile here at pnet. One guess is you're too busy to play the pnet game. But, I'll tell you your pictures are some of the best here at pnet. I'm absolutely impressed by your portraits and nudes. They have more depth than most of the glamor photographers here, because they reveal the character of the people. Keep up the good work. Emmanuel.

Yes i agree with E.E. above,. excellent portfolio. Great cats! Like it a lot :-)

I originally was going to comment on A photo that I came across but upon seeing your whole portfolio I realized that all of your work is equally amazing and fascinating. You are the photographer that I aspire to be (or at least in the same ballpark). Your work is just....well, sometimes there just aren't words. Thank You!

Beau, you have some fantastic photo's here my friend. The cat's are the greatest of all! I'm still learning and hope to catch up with you someday!

Congrats!

Beau- Ditto the last comment. Your cat photos are WONDERFUL, capturing their allure, affection and humor. All your work is happy, optimistic and a breath of fresh air. Thanks.

The dirt is in the details. Lets talk about nanophotography. The inverse sky is the limit. You have an artful eye for everyday life. Look forward to an interface, my old friend (Mike Jones)norron@cox.net

A wonderful and diverse collection of images. Very nice, Beau. Inspirational to say the least.

very nice work

Outstanding work, your eye for detail is wonderful, your work is so inspiring. Keep up the good work.

Hey thanks for your comments today. I really appreciate your work and regardless of what you think, there are tons of beautiful pictures on your portfolio! Animals are so hard to capture the way you want to, and you have several near perfect frames! Keep up the good work!

Beau--I came over to sincerely thank you for giving such wonderful answers to my questions in the forums. I have come to trust your knowledge and you do an excellent job of explaining things, often better than the best books I've read. I enjoyed a stroll through your portfolio--it's obviously very large but is also remarkably varied with regards to subjects. I think that shows a lot of skill and talent when you can successfully capture the range of shots that you have. I'll try to keep up with your future work and once again, thanks for offering your expert knowledge!

Beau

The variety and beauty is staggering. Congrats.

Beau, I really enjoyed look through your work. I really enjoy landscape work and yours are great. I also looked very closely at your Nude/studio/glamour work. They are amazing and I am sure I can learn allot from them. Once again thank you for your comments with regards to my forum post regarding studio/nude/glamour.

Quite a remarkable portfolio, Beau, keep up the good work.

Dear Beau

Where are you based out of? kristen@takethepicturenow.com I am new to this site.

Hi Kristen! Welcome to Photonet! I live in Southwest Virginia in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Do your cats ever lounge around in your studio sets awaiting thier shoot as mine does? I need to think of a perfect set to draw the lovely naked ladies the same way. How do you do it?

Thanks for the compliments on my port. Yes, Candace and Amber are a real joy to work with. I don't know anyone who would disagree on that! I like your fotos of Amber, Candace, and Elizabeth also.

Awsome Shots! You have a great portfolio. Thanks for the Advice! I never would have thought to use myspace to find people for my photo shoots! I appreciate the feedback.

The photos of the cats are great. They are beautiful!

Hi Beau These are great cat shots. My wife and I just love them. You capture their expressions and moods expertly. As a cat lover, I appreciate the difficulty in photographing cats. As a photographer, I understand the technical difficulties in photographing any completely white subject, which you have done very well.
