Testimonial by Author and Animal Activist
Edd Gibbs Rose
“Judging from my experience, the new “artistically enhanced photographic imaging” process of Carl Holgate should enjoy a guaranteed future, a future with many gratified clients. Pet lovers, and others with treasured quality photographs, could well be amazed by the results of this new technique.
With that qualification out of the way, it can generally be said that the essential likeness of these “enhanced” renderings to fine, original oil works is remarkable!
The work Mr. Holgate did for me has a kind of subtlety of tone, and richness and depth of surface image and finish, I would associate with quasi-realistic impressionist painting."
Edd was so impressed with the work I did for him that he featured it on the cover of his book “Wear Your Own Skin”. It is the image of Edd with his two Afghans.
