‘[Hawkins] is one of the great photographers’

- Trevor Dann, Former Head of BBC Music Entertainment.

‘I’ve seen [Hawkins] successfully nurture his talent as a photographer in the music field; not an easy task in this day & age. To succeed in today’s climate I think you need three attributes: personality, tenacity, and above all the feel and the eye for the music. [Hawkins] has all three.’

 - David Redfern, August 2011.

‘[Hawkins' work shows] huge talent and masterly technique working in tune’

- Robin Laurance, former lecturer in Photojournalism at London College of Communication and the London School of photojournalism.
