Isabel Belfor is an inspired artist who has chosen photography as her medium of expression. Her inquisitive mind, careful attention to detail,follow-through on commitments, diligence, and determination make her a force to reckoned with. Her willingness and ability to step back and look
objectively at her own work and to continually seek out knowledge and instruction enables her to make amazing strides. I truly anticipate that her photographs will grace the pages of Rolling Stone and Spin (Not that I read those rags). Feel her roar! - JOHN MADERA (Mother Flux)
Isabel is a native new yorker and a motorist like me. Great girl, cute little car and she lets me drive it. That was hot!"- ANDY SHAW (Shaw Promotion)
"Isabel is one of the most amazing women I have ever met. She is smart and funny and personable. Most importantly, Isabel is a loyal friend. She has your back when no one else does. She relates her experiences to help ease your problems, even if it means embarassment. She is caring beyond belief. She will take you by the hand if you're afraid and is humble enough to accept a helping hand when she needs one.
Isabel turned out to be a true friend and I wish I had known that 10 years ago" - MANDY (Crack The Whip Promotions)
"Isa is a hot piece of ass that should have put her camera down and danced with me"- ROY
"Isabel is one of the kindest and creative people I have ever met and aside from that she is resourceful -she can make nothing into something - she has built herself into a well rounded person fascinating and electric individual all wrapped up with genrosity and truth" - BRENDA
"Isabel is the woman in every man's dreams."
- JIMTOXICATED
"Isabel is a beautiful mess, a free spirit weighed down by her own insecurities, the leader of the lonely hearts club, the embodiement of her family, friends, music, books, photography and palm trees, the person you will love most to hate and hate most to love, the person you can count on when the chips are down, and the one that will help you down all those chips 'n' guacamole, the one and only friend that is worth your time."- MONICA
"A walking, breathing unarmored heart, hiding her gorgeous green eyes behind a lense and jetblack waves." -RICHARD
"She is very Cute when she's drunk"- MELISSA

"Isabel likes to take pictures, shoot pool and party. She seems to be a tad obsessed with herself, but thats only because shes beautiful!" - GARRET
"Isabel has many talents but is totally down to earth. ;) "- ELISE
"Isabel is my favorite Lady cousin of all!"-ALICE
"Isabel, words can not express the joy and pleasure you have given to me. All of us looked at the photos this morning and everyone agrees that what you captured are moments frozen in time that I will always have. You have a talent with your eye- with all my heart thank you for what you have given to me."- STACIE
