Natasha Gudermane Photography

Deeply impressed. Style!!

Very original Porfolio! Great idea, well execudted. Bravo.

You have one of my favorite portfolio in this web. IMHO (exept Autunm and Veronica..IMHO) Congratulation

a remarkable portfolio. dozens of absolutely brilliant shots, beautiful and thoughtful. i'm at once envious and inspired.

oohh yes! very good

Excellent portafolio !! Congrats

My personal favorite of all photo.net folders. Wish I had that eye.

I have looked through all of your photos, and however tempted I am to rate and comment on them all, it would be pointless as the same ratings and comments would apply for all. Quite simply, incredible.

Complimentoni, hai un bellissimo portfolio! Ciao Gere

I hope you fully realize that you are very talented.....

i aspire...

Awesome!!! Even the black & white shots are colourful.

You rock dream girl! I love your ability to work with blurs!

You are an artist, and I'm going to put your name in my favorites...

F A N T A S T I C !!!

When I looked at your portfolio the first time I saw a great artist and when I looked at it again I cried. You are very talented and I feel there is much of you within this portfolio your past! Perhaps I see things differently (I hope I do.) 'soar high, live free & be true'

Natasha,

I did a web search on your name and got...nothing. Why? It is certainly NOT due to the fact that you have the compassionate eye of the great photojouranalists and documentary photographers. Nor, I suppose, is it due to the fact that I spelled your name wrong.

Reuters, Corbis/Sigma, AP, AFP, even Magnum would probably snatch you up in a heartbeat. And believe me when I say this...I have NEVER seen an "amateur" of your skill before in my life.

But I have seen a few pros who might be more on par with you.

You have nothing to lose, don't worry about that...it's the rest of us that risk loss.

PLEASE DON'T STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Be sure, Brendan, I won't !! :))

I just wonder ... How do silly girls usually get their agents ? Teach me :)

Hi Natasha, with regard to your reply on Frederic's photo, I would just add that I am not saying that you're wrong and I am right...the fact is that we look at the photos from two different perspectives, I come from a photojournalistic approach, so I always try to put in my photos somethings carrying the informations and emotions that I want to bring. But my first impact is always-as you suggested me- emotional, then I go to the analisys of the photo as I did for the one we are discussing. And for me the music of that one was missing of some chords... The feeling we receive from a photo, me-you- and the others- is always influenced by our cultural and experience background, so we perceive different emotions from what we see. I would have liked that Fred had explained what he sees or wanted to show with his photo, but that is...what is inportant is that he transmitted some feelings, don't you think so? I would like that you visited this work, and leave your opinion on it, good or bad, so maybe you can better understand my point of view: http://www.photo.net/photodb/presentation?presentation_id=233814 By the way, the movie by Linch is "the straight story". I think it is his best movie!

Going pro is a long arduous journey that can go about as slowly as a train moving up a steep hill. As I'm not full-on pro at this time, I can't realy say "how" to get an agent or what path to take. But all of the pros I know say many things that boil down to "Just Get Out There." I'd probably suggest getting in some photo mags to start, try pictured "http://www.picturedinternational.com" they have a feature section for underexposed photographers. Then there's always regional culture mags that take submisssions/give assignments in North America I could see your colour dreams stuff in Vice. First off, put together a portfolio of no more than your Top Ten photos that meet the requirements and look of the publication you're trying to get into and set-up an apointment with the photo/art director to have it viewed. It'll probably kill you at first, but hang in there. The industry is not for the faint of heart. Most mags have contact info on their web-sites or in the masthead of the mag.

It'll take a while to get a rep, and different reps will ask that you've been printed different numbers of times...or not at all. Depending on what type of stuff you're into. I think your strongest stuff is in the Doc and Alt fashion/culture genres. But unless you can get a job as a staffer at a daily paper, Doc is probably about the hardest thing to do on earth. The market is hyper-saturated and has no real turnover at all. Generally, I'd find a mag that you'd like to get into and pull together ten shots that you could HONESTLY see being printed as high profile images in that mag and then send them in. You don't need an agent or to have been published before in a lot of cases. hope this helps

Great work, really, I like, no I love it..:)

Maris

I am so glad for I've discovered your pictures today. Paka.

Excellent work!! I will be back again, and again, and...

Natasha, your photography is compellingly "different" (to use your own definition). Sometimes quirky, sometimes funny but always unmistakeably original and interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Realy Artist. I take it all to my preferits.

What a wondreful ART:))

I am feeling so wunderfull and at 'home'. I wish I could tell you how much I like your portfolio. But I can not do this in words, but you certainly did some magic to me, just like reading a good poem, or see a beautifull painting, or ........ much more. Thank you.

U rE Talented

Thank you for sharing your art with us.

How old are you Natasha ? 65 ? 70 ?

This is the quantity and quality of a portfolio of lifetime. Wonderful Portfolio !!!

I'm constantly amazed by your imagination. Your dark vision is one of the strongest I've found here, I often remain out of words in front of these images. I'd bet on your photographic future, really! Congrats.

A really great portfolio.

I will be back to view your work frequently. your work is both passionate and dismantled, you must be a beautiful person. please read some of my coments with in the portfolio, also I would like to corespond with you about the significance of your work, perhaps we can put on a show together, if we get a couple other artist, and approach a gallery as a group.

Fabulous work. I am really impressed and would like to reach half of your talent one day...

very inspiring work, your black and white techniques are very impressive.

Natasha, I wanted to comment on a few of your pictures but then realised the whole collection is absloutely brilliant so this goes for them all. You are a very talented woman, some day I may be a quarter as good as you if I try hard.

Many from your pictures makes me lighter!!! :-)) Greeting M.

Just to say that I often go through your gallery and you're a great source of inspiration for me. I'm sort of proud and happy you like some of my stuff =) I like your photos not because of the technical aspect but because they really communicate something, they talk to me.. loneliness, friendship, love.. so many diffrents moods and feelings, this is photography ! I see you speak some french, alors amuse toi bien et continues de poster ! Amicalement,

So very creative, experimentive and compleet portfolio. I love it.

pictures..thank you for sharing regards

My pleasure;)

compliment!

Thank you for u'r critique on my picture Natasha , i think that u r so talented photographer !

i hop on seeing more of u'r beautiful work !!!

WOW, i've just browsed through an enormous amount of your photographies. i'm really impressed by the big amazing portfolio of yours. great works everywhere. i adore them, b&w is so powerfull in your pictures.

as to your comment on xrayeyish3 i wasnt under influence of bayers picture, i remeber seeing it only once before, very long time ago. to be honest i was inspired by someone else, but with totally, totally different execution. Frankly, bayers picture doesnt seem to me being anyhow similar to my work.

thanks so much for the honest comment.
cheers.

fi

You have an impressive collection of pictures, i have bookmarked your portfolio and will definatly come back soon when i got more time to check your pictures in detail. There is just too much too see here :) Congratulation for your great work and thanks for commenting one of my pics ;)

you have an outstanding portfolio, please com to see mine and give me your opinion

ciao

Wonderful photos, Natasha. I admire you.

Maris, from your neighbourhood:)

What an exceptional porfolio... beatiful, striking and full of emotions. So much for me to learn.

I am deeply impressed with this portfolio. Too much 7/7's that it's difficult to decide one to start voting and commenting. Great compossitions and ideas.

I am just getting into photography and your portfolio has been a great discovery for me. I hope some day I will have such an eye.

Your work is fantastic, so consistant!

a portfolio of an absolute quality, i love your pictures

You have one of the most amazing portfolios that I have seen so far...

Especially enjoy 'Glass of Water'....wonderful work in B&W...Some pics in the 'Different' folder are just sensational to me...Great work. Cheers

Great work

I can't add anything new to the comments from all your other admirers, but wanted to put in writing my thanks for sharing such a beautiful and inspiring portfolio.

..its very impresive!!

I too have found your portfolio very well done and entertaining. Keep up the excelent work.

tieshaam! sveiciens no tautieshiem! :))

I too, would like to add another comment. Your work has an energy and vibrance that is haunting and stimulating. Bravo. I really love your people shots. Inspirational!.

Natasha, you keep going girl, keep going cause you got places to get to. You are good.

The kids images are really really good. All of your work is very strong - and the variety is wonderful. Best wishes.

Quirky, sexy, funny, brilliant!

hola...estaba viendo tus nuevas fotos..estan muy buenas,ya tengo algunas mias por aca en esta pagina,pero con en ingles buy lento...sigue trabajando y que vaya todo bien suerte...

excellent job, I see a great professionality in your portfolio. I like very much Antonio

Fabulous work. Thoughtful and well-composed. I thought I'd follow the link from your comment on my photo just to see what your views were based on, and I'm so glad I did. I shall mark you interesting so I can come back and look at your work more carefully later. On first glance at your Top Photos (sometimes I find the best stuff isn't in this section, so I'm looking forward to seeing the full folder when I get time) I particularly like 'Split' and 'A Work of Art'. Your 'Colour Half Dreams' appeal too - but I haven't looked at them 'full size' yet. Best wishes.

impresive

also a great portfolio!

Really great work Natasha ! Stunning portfolio.

Great work, amazing and very artistic portofolio. Congrats !

Dear Natasha Gudermane,

I am extremely impressed with this portfolio. About a year ago I wrote in Leica Photo Forum that you forte was the studio. I was not impressed with your street photography at that time.

I must take the latter judgement back. Your street photography is outstanding.

There is a wonderfully lucid spontaneity in your work. It the best work--and I'll be coming back to visit and to rate more--this spontaneity and lucidness is extra special.

Thank you for visiting my portfolio and your comment on my running lady in Paris. The best thing is that it made me revisit your portfolio.

Otliichno!

Thank you Alex, thank you everybody!.. I am touched

hello,

i make it short: you have very good pictures here. i'm glad i found you here. ;-)

regards andreas

Excellent porfolio Natasha,several ambients and composition.you have one the best porfolios here in photo.net,tahnks for sharing you art and let us feel the life across you images.I mark you name like people interesting 7/7.best regards from spain

You have so many strong, interesting, and mysteriously ambiguous images in your collection here, I hardly know where to begin looking at them. I am so glad you commented on my image of Rachel...otherwise, I might never have discovered your portfolio!

I will come back often...I have to spend a lot of time looking at these.

Hi Natasha! I just visited your portfolio and I must say I like your style very much! But I need to have a lot of time because you really have a lot of pictures in your portfolio - I will be back from time to time...;)

Ciao, Mirko

Great portfolio, very strong photos, original and a very artistic language. Very good work!

trully impressive portfolio. Never give up black and white film. Each of your image tells us a story that it unique to each of us, that is why i love them.

Nice work ... keep it up ! would like u to see my portfolio and give ur professional comments .. Have a nice day !

You have an excellent work, vanguardista, modern, different, fresh... it is not easy to have a so extensive work and with good qualifying in everything... I like specially the folder "other" and "nailed"... Pure creativity, congrats. Fran

Natasha, you have a wonderful talent.Your photography tells stories. I will take much more time to go through your work, and that is time well worth the making. High Regards, Todd

...i was sneaking into your portfolio and will come back and take a closer look...

You have an excellent portfolio--your ability to capture subjects at meaningful moments is truly impressive.

I really don't know where to start from.It's so hard for me to believe that someone has such an excellent perception of things around him(her!).Your job should be teached in art schools.You are simply unique...!!! Nik Katsaros

I don't know what to say after all the comments of the others, you're wonderful and so inpiring for the amateur i'm

Creative, poetic, a delight to visit...

There is not much I can add. You are one of the most outstanding talents that I have seen on this or any other site. Never stop doing this.

-Owen

You've got very interesting photos, all of them have something that touches me in some way.. difficult to explain..

Never mind, just to say I'm glad to hhave seen your work.. and I'll be coming back :)

Astrid

Not only pictures would be a first thought. Thank you for this unique point of view and so much originality :)

Your work is absolutely extreme, Natasha. Full of heart, full of soul. You've got a talent to express and communicate through your images - that's a gift, Natasha. Love what you do. Thanks for sharing!

awesome. i love the dynamic power of your work.

A great and various portfolio! Well done. I like your use of BW. have a good light... gaetano from Italy

excuse me Natasha 4 my bad English...so i will write 2 you in french, to express with more acquity my feelings about your beautiful work. When i saw you for the very firts time, you were dressed in white, and little red spots on your dress, and your deeply blue eyes were something beyond that...a kind of water that was emerging of your darked hair. Cette sc讥 se passait au caf頧Le Sancerre', au pied de Montmartre, et ce jour lࠪ'鴡is press頤'aller retrouver ma famille pour dr, avant de regagner la province o� j'habite actuellement. Juste le temps d'飨anger quelques mots avec vous, de vous observer, l駨rement tremblante, sortir une fine cigarette de votre paquet, et d'essayer de sonder vos yeux tellement m鬡ncoliques et expressifs. Alors je suis all頶oir ton site...Quel choc! laisse moi te dire que j'ai rarement vu, pour ainsi dire jamais, la travail d'une photographe 'amateur' d'une telle qualit頶isuelle, d'une intensit頨umaine aussi touchante, et d'une telle inspiration. Tu as un don Natasha! oui, tu as un OEIL, et ce que tu fais ne ressemble ࠲ien d'autre... depuis le parc de ton enfance et cette eau qui coule, vive et claire, jusqu'aux rues de paris color饳, que de chemin parcouru! The snowfall' m'a laiss頳ans voix. Tes corps enlac鳠portent en eux le myst貥 de la chair. Ton esth鴩que est un m鬡nge de classicisme et d'avant garde ( la s鲩e 'gravitation' est une pure po鴩que de la relation...), tes bleus sont faits d'une eau qui semble flotter dans l'espace, et ton noir et blanc d鬩vre soudain du dialogue intense entre la lumi貥 et l'ombre pour proposer un troisi譥 espace, celui de la confidence, du silence retrouv鬠de la proximit頥ntre la 'r顬it駠et le r^ve... je ne suis pas un sp飩aliste de la photographie. Je pratique la peinture ࠴itre autodidacte et photographie parfois ࠴itre amateur. Ce que je sais, c'est que ton talent est certain, et n'a pas d'autre 鱵ivalent, du peu que je connaisse de la photographie. bravo Natasha, tout cela est beau et surtout tellement sensible, humain ( ta s鲩e sur les enfants des rues est tellement belle). Tes photos SONT TOUTES DES HISTOIRES ࠥlles seules...toi seule sait les raconter avec tant de pudeur.

First time I saw your work was in the Czech photo-magazine PhotoArt, especially the work, I think it was titled something like Happy Bride. Your sense of composition and tones is respectable, but what strikes me the most is the sense of how you communicate with the viewer by daring direct contact with the camera. In brief - loved looking at your phots. My best regards and sincere respect for your work.

Fantastico lavoro. Amo il tuo stile.

Natasha: Your gallery is fascinating and inspiring. Seems that you are where I want to be one day, photographically. I'll be following your art closely.

Eduardo

You are an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your unique vision with the rest of us. I admire your eye.

Really nice pictures but i guess some of them required color instead of black and white, specially the ones with a blue sky with clouds, or the ones with a beach.

Best regards and congratulations
