“I have known Esther Babb for over a decade, and she is one of the most dynamic, resourceful and creative New Yorkers I know. An event I attended in which Esther was a participant was a photography exhibit of her Flamenco Series. It was hosted at The School of the International Center of Photography. Her skill, subject, and passion made her a stand out amongst her peers. So many people in our lives say they will follow their dreams, Esther is one of those rare people that make her dreams a reality.”

“Esther Babb is one of the most talented photographers I’ve been privileged to work with in over 25 years in the public eye. She has always captured the essence at every event on which I have been blessed to work with her. Shots of my flamenco dance company Las Chavalas del Barrio taken by Esther at Lafayette Grill, at Katra and at Theater for the New City Festival of the Arts are stunning and adorn my website. She has taken passionate photos of my child students at their annual Garden at 6th and Ave B recitals, of me performing with Gazpacho Andalu at La Mama Etc, and warming up backstage at Repertorio Espanol for Nilo Cruz’s play Lorca Con Un Vestido Verde. Even under ridiculously difficult conditions she makes it work and finds the most beautiful moment. I can never find enough words to say: Thank you Esther Babb, you are the best!”
