Mariellen Romer Photography

Welcome to PN. Your work is simply fantastic. I will definitely be back.

I love your sense of design and color! Welcome to PN.

You have a beautiful start to a wonderful portfolio! It seems you have the gifts of artistic vision and composition, I look forward to seeing more of your work!

Mariellen: Thank you for your kind comments...you have a very good Portfolio. Thanks again. John Math

Very nice Portfolio. I especially like your Leaves and Sea shots. Above all, it is your calm, reflective style in your art that attracts me. Kind regards, Francis

beautiful portfolio Mariellen, lots of subjects and color, thanks for your comment on my photo

i think you are interested in nature.its beautiful. thank you

Mariellen when I found your comment at the bottom of my gallery photos I thought to myself, "Who is this?" I don't know how you found my works on PN but I'm pleased that you did, AND that you took the time to leave me a comment. After looking through your portfolio I can see the commonality that we share in some subject matter and even more in the way the images are framed. I'll be watching your gallery in the future for hints and tips on how I can be better!

Your Disney shots are an inspiration. I swore I'd never return to Disney, but that was before I got into photography. I lived and worked outside of Orlando for years, and, with four daughters growing up there, I had to make the annual pilgrimage so often I got sick of it. But I was not lugging a camera around at that time. Maybe it's time I took my daughter, AND HER DAUGHTER, and my camera. They are both photogenic, BTW.

I like your other images, too. Your bio has great charm. You may surprise your siblings; IMO art is a product of life as well as personality. When I first started I was immature and confused, as was my painting. (now I'm LESS immature and LESS confused).

Mariellen, first of all thanks for your comments on my portfolio. On looking at your images I am first struck by your great colour sense, then the rendering of texture, composition and light. There is a lot to look at and I will return soon for a closer look.

Your gallery is filled with beautiful vibrant color and texture. The macro shots are stunning. Regards Anthony

this is a very inspiring portfolio. You have definitely an eye for detail and skill to take an excellent photo of a relatively boring subject. Great!

It means a lot to me that you have come to look. The support you are giving me, along with your thoughts on improvements, is fantastic.

I am already trying new things from looking at your own portfolios and those of other people on PN. I had never looked at my own stuff as a single body of work before, so this has been a very informative exercise for me. I can see an emerging style, my signature, which gives me a place to jump off from and try other things too. Thanks again ladies & gentlemen :-)

Mariellen

Thanks to you....because you are honest and share your way to see this life.

Thanks for your words...belive me, I am lerning a lot from all of you in PN, and I love also to find people like you...who accept new ideas and try to see beyond the feeling....

Respectfully.

It would be a shame to only see BW and try to look at your portfolio! Awesome work! Great captures of various colors and textures, something that most over look! I look forward to seeing more of your work! - Kyle

Mariellen,

Wow, I was very happy to receive your letter. Thank you so much. You are too kind. Actually, I've just rediscovered my passion for photography, and am having a great time trying to catch up on what I've been missing all these years.

You certainly are very unique--being a "displaced American", as you put it. I have roots in GB. My family on my father's side is from Newcastle-upon-Tyne. An in 2001 I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to accompany some of my students to Hereford, during which time I traveled to Stonehenge, Winchester, and London.

What a beautiful part of the world you live in! I envy you.

Best regards, keep taking lots of photos, and thanks again for your very kind words.

By looking through your portfolio, I recongnize the similarities in how we see our surroundings and I feel honored. Keep yourself open to life and it will show you its deepest and most cherished treasures. Thanks, Eddie K.

great portfolio

Nice portfolio ! I like your photos!

Thanks for your kind visit and comments. Caroline as a kid was always my favorite target and I'll put up more some day. The abstract 'sailboat' shot was good fortune. I admire your biographical statement and your quest to express yourself artistically. I've struggled with a similar venture, though less boldly and successfully than you. I especially like your Abstracts, Disney Word, and Leaves and Trees folders. Any thoughts on still fiddling with working in black and white?

Yes I will be doing more black and white. May be a few weeks before I can post, as am pretty busy at home at the moment. Thanks for your visit!

You have a wonderful and colorful portfolio. Thank you, Mariellen! Best regards!

A return to thank you for the comment and I discovered a treasure trove. I left another comment on Calgary for you to answer your question. Yours is a quite stunning collection. Regards Ken.

Many thanks, Mariellen, for your comment on my portfolio. Your work is more than interesting and speaks of a very creative mind. I love your ideas, that's a great portfolio. Kind regards, Alexandra

Thank you for your kind compliment of my portfolio. Yours is amazing. Beautiful color and composition!

Hello Mariellen, thanks for your comments in my portfolio. I just had a good look in yours and I see that your have a fantastic sense of perspective and a very good look for macros and close ups. What to you do to make texture so tangible? I almost want to touch the screen to feel it... I will be wainting for more.

best regards

Thank you Mariellen for the kind words you posted on my page. I've enjoyed looking at your work and discovered some very fine artistic talent there. Thanks again...

Mariellen, Thank you for leaving the cool comment on my port...

You not only can you create works of art through a software package, you can create it through the lens of a camera too...Again, Thank you for the comment and please keep posting your work to this network of artist, your portfolio is incredible.

John

Mariellen: Thank you for your comments on my mirror image. I love your use of line form and patterns in your images. I have always admired the ability to find a great image in the smalest details. Well done

Thank you for your comment on my photo. Your portfolio is very good. Wish you all the best! Regards, Adrian.

Mariellen, you have an original portfolio with some beautiful photos. Congratulations and thank you for your time. Regards, Flavio.

Hello Mariellen. A beautiful and creative portfolio. Stunning colours and inspiring. It is obvious much thought has gone into your work and these images did not happen by accident. It is what I need right now a reason to pick up the camera once more to get through a flat point in my life. It is often through pain that we produce our best. You have just given me that reason. Thank you best wishes Roy

very interesting and creative portfolio. I love the colors. You have an artistic talent. Thanks for your comment posted on my galley.

Ciao e grazie, Massimo.

So much COLOR! I love it. It's refreshing to see such an original style.

wow. in front of your camera any little thing become alive!!! wow... very original pics, and a very big source of ideas. congratulations and thank you for your comment on my pics. i will invite you soon for my new pics. bye alessandro

Thanks for your comments on my portfolio, much appreciated. You say in your biography that you are interested in things artistic, well, after viewing your portfolio there is no doubt in my mind that you are an artist & a very creative one.Your "Abstacts" are beautiful & the colours are gorgeous. In your "Leaves & Trees" you show the same skills. Regards-Ross

Absolutely fascinating portfolio - I could spend a lot of time here. Great eye for textures and color. I am planning to get more into macro & will probably be taking some of your ideas (the sincerest form of flattery).

Roger, I look forward to seeing your results for another take on some of the subjects, would be fun to see.

Best wishes, Mariellen

Mariellen, My, young lady you are one of the chosen few, you have the photographers eye, not given to everyone and your sense of colour is supreme. I am mightily impressed and it takes a lot, I assure you, to make and old fogie like me sit up. Your weakness,reading your synopsis, is you do not have enough self belief and this is essential if you want to go forward in a profession that is over-ripe with inflated egos. When I started out in London's West End the doyen of the photographic world was David Bailey. With the arrogance of youth I told myself that I was better photographer then he.. Now whether that was true or false did not matter..I BELIEVED IT and became a professional with a studio in London's Mayfair for 40 years with 5 blue chip companies on my books and I came from a South London Council Estate, leaving school at 14 with no formal training...If I could do it so can you. Don't take no for an answer and if you have kick down a few doors...do so. One more thing, do not rely on the macro/micro lens it is only a tool, it is YOU who takes the photograph.Don't be frightened of failure, you will make many mistakes, we all do. If it is any consolation although I am retired if you had come to my studio for employment as an assistant with your portfolio, I would have though very seriously about employing you...so, go forward and SMILE Joh

Thanks for your comment on my portfolio. Surfing through your, I so many wonderful shots that I want to rate but they were not summited yet. awesome pictures you have here, Congrats!

Hi Mariellen, You have agreat future in phtography but only if you create your own,very individual style, and the micro/macro lens will hold you back........If you go through the majority of protfolios on PN you will notice the predominance of macro shots of flowers and butterfly's.Why? BECAUSE IT IS EASY.All roses are beautiful and so are butterfly's, so, up-and-coming photographers get a fine colourful shot and then continue taking the same shot over and over again without realizing that it is the macro lens that is doing all the work. 40 years ago you could not achieve such results because colour film could not cope with the range of colours and macro lenses did not exist. You must stand back and let your natural creative talent take over and attempt to make the mundane something special by photographing it YOUR WAY. My greatest problem as a professional photographer was attempting to try to make a bar of chocolate look interesting,and if you think that is easy,try it yourself and see if you can come up with something original. I repeat, you have a god-given talent...so,.....USE IT>>>>>> SMILE>>>>John

I am so pleased to see that you have found Swansea as photogenic as I think it is to have posted many photos of it. Some of them gave me inspiration to get out and about a bit more and record on film. Most of the pictures on my portfolio, needless to say are from around Swansea as I live here. Hope you had a good time when you were here, which I presume was fairly recently. Best wishes. Taha

Hello Mariellen, your camera has been very busy which likely accounts for the eclectic choice of subjects in your portfolio. You have a wonderful eye for pattern and colour. Thanks for sharing and thanks for the comments and support.

Regards,

Tim

Mariellen, I've very much enjoyed looking through your folio, I found your threads theme very original. Regards Rich.

Mariellen, Glad you likes the bluebells, I am fortunate, this is my woodland here in Kent and all I have to do is walk out of my back door 50 yards and there it all is, and every year we say how lucky we are. Scrolled through your shots and the macro works,of course it does. I would however,have liked you to stand back with the wide-angle lens and added two or three more of how the glade looks from different angles,you just repeated yourself with the close-up's. Not a criticism, just an observation,you must still do it your way..I will go into the site you recommend and see if I can contribute....SMILE John

Mariellen, I have left a reply on Angela's site. I can only suggest we somehow go mob-handed to the site Management and get them to something about the ratings, How?? Who Knows....................John

...I just adore your "Threads" folder.... great work, Mariellen :-)

You certainly have a diverse and colourful site. No question of your affinity with composition, or the fact that your passion for photography is most evident.

On the lighter side, if you shoot much more, I'll never get in here. It's been 25 minutes, and my great dialip service has only loaded about half your work. I may have to move into the city, where I can get broadband.

Very nice portfolio, Mariellen.

your portfolio! I especially like the architecture,threads, and rust folders. Good eye! I will be back to see the progression... Vallery B

Mariellen, I did have a word about your talent.......he reckons its nothing to do with him . It was you after all, out there with a camera and your own inate intelligence.........SMILE ...John

Mariellen, Yours is a portfolio of excellence! You are very ecclectic in your subject matter and within each folder are little surprises that go beyond the theme of the folder. I now can look over your work for much inspiration and sparks of creativity.

Best Regards, Todd

Mariellen , You have a great eye for patter and color.You can see the beauty in the simplest objects and pass on that beauty to the viewer, which is a special tallent. Keep shooting I will be back.

So many beautiful images. A feast for the eyes!

Best regards.

Mariellen, thank you for sharing such a pleasant view of the world through your eyes. Your use of colour, light and composition shows your enjoyment in producing this gallery with many remarkable images.

Hello Friend!

Well here it is another year is passing away and we are coming into the holidays. I think time starts to go faster as we get older, it was just yesterday I wished my friends Happy Holidays and here it is again the end of a year. The holiday lights are starting to be put on some of the trees here in Dallas, we were out last night and some were lighting the trees. I wish for you all a holiday season with family and friends, after all is said and done all we have is each other.

I want all of you to know just what your comments and ratings on my work means to me, your words are my motivation, my drive to discover, to learn this art that we all love, thank you for taking time and thank you for caring about my works. At the same time thank you for letting us see your world, our lives are so much the same, we all care about our families and friends and we all share the same things, maybe someday our photos will help make for a lasting world peace. May you and your family be blessed this season.

Happy Holidays and Happy Shooting

Ken

Hi Mariellen,

You have some pretty and interesting and unusual pictures. I like how colorful they are. You have an eye for see the unusual in the obvious.

Regards, Amanda

Hi, wonderful eye for the abstract and color. Enjoyed looking much. Happy holidays. Sam

Thanks for your visit to my portfolio the other day! It's always a thrill for me to discover yet another of the many great photographers here on PN. I absolutely love the variety of your work. You have an inquisitiveness and an unusual (in a good way) way of turning ordinary things into works of art. I'll look forward to many visits here, Mariellen. Thanks!

You have a very beautiful, colorful and diversified portfolio. Thanks for sharing it.

Merry Christmas and all the best in 2010.
