The series ''Limit to your love'' is Gils' nude experiment with a Polaroid camera. He has won two awards with this series. Virginie Lorient from Bettina Von Arnim's Gallery asserts that the transfers of colours of this technique may vary, but Gils does not modify the natural colours.
In the ''transfer'' serie, Gils transfers polaroids onto watercolour paper. Through this innovated technique, the eye begins to decode, and to see more than a simple picture.
