Amanda Radders Photography

I always enjoy viewing your images. Your children images always cause me to stop and pause and reminisce... very lovely images, Amanda. I particularly like the baby fingers with the adult hand. Nice work!

amanda,

what a wonderful portfolio. i just commented on a picture of yours and then checked out your photos. i realize i have no right to critique. you are very good and were probably looking for much more professional criticism. i look forward to seeing more of your photos. jason

Amanda, thanks for your suggestions on my picture, I will make all the changes before having it printed. You've got lovely pictures in this portfolio. Whenever you happen to see any error in my pictures, please feel free to send me a note: it's from mistakes that you learn! take care

Thanks for looking at Afterthoughts and thanks for the kind comments. Your portfolio has many really great images of children. Each folder tells a wonderful story. "Sometimes It Is All Too Much" is one of my favorites. Best Regards, Howard

I had to come back and comment, again. I sense that you like children (wonder why?). You're developing your own style and this may lead to something... keep it up, lady, and continue to dream (they do come true, you know?). Good show, but I expected as much from you.

... do you like children!

Very personal work!

oh my gosh...

Amanda... you've been commenting on my pics.. and I've liked a few of yours that you've put up in critique, so I've commented...

I don't know why this is the first time I've visited your folders...

you've got so much life in your photography!! I love your simple, clean and gentle style.. you capture the beauty of a child so very well...

what I've always hoped to achieve with my "childrens stuff" you've achieved already..

because you have a "simple and clean" style of shooting... and because you capture "nano-seconds" so very well, many "purists" will say "snapshot"... they're wrong.

remember always to please yourself... and go with what YOU love...

you go girl... excellent..

I could spend hrs giving you 7's... hehe..

Amanda you have a touch of magic when shooting kids, similar to Anne Geddes, and kids are the most amazing and wonderful beings to photograph, thanks for making me realise that and will try my hand at it. Thanks for your comments on the wedding photo, would like you to see the rest of the series of 'A South Indian Wedding' in my portfolio and would love to hear your comments :) cheers!

Thank you for your very kind comment on my portfolio, glad you like my work. I dont have to tell you abut your talent, clearly people are your field of expertise. Some extremely fine and beautiful portraits in your portfolio, which simply oozes quality. Regards Max.

This is really good, you have a very good portfolio, not only the portraits, but also the others are beautiful! Thanks for your comment on my 'Rose' photo! Regards, Pim

Hi, all of your work is top-notch and the community can learn alot from your examples - thanks for all your postings.

I just did my first-ever portraits yesterday - other than just casual shots of my daughters (for a class.) Your portrait work is SO special. I totally agree with the writer who compared you to Anne Geddes! I look forward to returning many times and learning from you!

I too love to photograph children.... I could learn a thing or two from you!!! Thanks for sharing and inspiring!

you have so many beautiful people shots in your portfolio - this is something you are great at doing - keep posting - nice work.

To everyone who has taken the time to comment on my work. It really means so much and I continue to learn everyday from the advice and viewpoints of every comment given.

Your kind comment on my picture led me on (God be thanked for that!)to your portfolio. I can hardy add anything to what people have already said so very aptly about your work. Thanks.

I Can tell you are having fun and enjoy your self it shines thru

Your Mad Max is the best!!! but your children photos are so lovely. I admire your work.

I know that in time, you will cherish these memorable images of your children. Of course from you, the photographer, will view these images in a different light to that of a stranger as myself. But this is not necessarily a bad thing, because portraying your children in this different, youthful, and admirable way we are instantly drawn back to our childhood and family memories. You have opened a window and allowed us to view the special moments of your life.

I think perhaps that because you are a great photographer that you could go up one more level, and experiment a little more. Don?t take this the wrong way, because the level your on now is phenomenal, but perhaps what I'm trying to say is that I want to see you expand from what you have shown me with your wonderful portfolio. Be more daring with your images? try making them more unique? inspiring? I don?t know, I can?t explain what I mean? which is frustrating! Hehe, but hey me to rack my brain; if you want to find out more, then feel free to email me.

thankyou all so much for your generous comments and encouragement. Yes, I truly love what I do - it is my passion and I am lucky enough to have found such a wonderful way to make a living!!! Thankyou all so very much - I haven't had much time to check my portfolio lately and I am truly blown away by all your kind comments.

Hi Amanda:

I just love your kid's photos. They all look so happy and engaged in the moment. Take photos of children is so difficult to do, yet you do it so well. Keep up the good work.

Wow! I wish I could just take a year of my life and come learn from you! You have great perspectives, and capture just the right moments! Too bad Australia isn't so friendly towards Americans coming to work!

we like Americans! I know that we get plenty of Europeans on work visas but I think there is a cut off age of 27 yo :-(

You take amazing photos, I hope to be there someday. I love that photos of children the best, so captivating, really shows the inner happiness that the children posess. Thanks for sharing..

Amanda, your shots consistently show love on both sides of the lens. I'm so impressed with how much life, love, humor (sorry: humour) and truth you manage to get into an image.

I remain, ma'am, your humble admirer-from-afar,

Amanda, I have only just come across your portfolio ( my loss ! ) I like most of your shots, but your shots of children are something else. You have a great gift here. These photos shine ! I suppose everything positive that needed saying has been said , so I will only say : 'Thanks for the experience...'

Hello Amanda,
I love your photos of children. "They" don't always seem to rate children photos very high. I very much appreciate your work.

I like your style! Very nice shots of people/children with natural lighting. Nice sensuality too in the shots of adults. Just ran across your folders by chance. I'm putting you in my favorites list.

yep - they don't rate kiddies as high as a pretty young lady in an alluring pose lol! I so apreciate you all for stopping by and for your kind comments. I hope to take a look at all of your work but these days I have little spare time with my growing family and portraiture business - but that's all good!

DEar Amanda! Regarding your family name, your ancestors belongs to the place of the Earth where I am from. I like your children photos.

Amanda, great years of work here and great results!

Just keep on doing so greta things, thanks for sharing and will come back...

Best regards from MOntenegro!
