"It doesn't matter how great a concept we have if we don't execute. And that's why we work with Carl again and again."
-John Emmert and Gail Schoenbrunn at Boathouse
"Carl is a talented shooter. He has an amazing eye, great instincts and always brings a unique perspective to any image. But Carl's real talent lies with his people skills. He has a way of disarming his models and finds a way to get them to give natural uninhibited performances. More importantly he disarms the client, makes them comfortable with the process and always exceeds expectations."
-Mark Bappe, Creative Director, Conover Tuttle Pace.
"Carl's work speaks for itself. But more importantly, he's a pleasure to work with--that rare artist who helps you understand what it is you're looking for, though you couldn't quite put your finger on it yourself.....it's a few words over. sue me. i could write volumes about you"
-Michael McClung, Art Director, Fidelity Investments, send.com
"It's rare to find a great photographer without a great big ego. Carl's talent with a camera is obvious. Beyond that, he listens and is patient. When we work together, nothing gets in the way of good work. It is always a pleasure."
-Rick Rawlins, Creative Director, Rick Rawlins/Work
"Carl, is a top notch photographer with a great sensibility. A sensibility that engages with the people he shoots as more than just subjects, but as people - real people. By doing this, he allows their personalities, stories, and emotions shine through every photograph. I believe Carl's calm demeanor and approachability, is a huge contributor to how he accomplishes this, but it also makes him a pleasure to work with."
-Paul Yokota, Senior Art Director, PJA Advertising + Marketing
