Votre travail d'artistique est beau, je crois que l'art de faisceaux dans l'image, vous ont un mod? ?tique et gothique, j'aime tellement quels faisceaux qui, je veulent voir plus et more.I vouloir inspirent par votre travail artistique sans aucun doute un de le meilleur que j'ai vu dans le dernier times.Congratulations

Your shots are full of creativity and artistic talent.Great work.

Tell me...What's UP.... Why delete the photo with nipple in blue tones, it was a perfect photo...

i am sorry :( but till the time i will have a subscription there i can post only 7 photos, so to show more photos and to get a critique on them i must delete something.. :)

I think you could be a better artist of which already you are, incredible I don't believe now only the artists can to have just 7 photos of space in photo net.I'm sorry but... I don't know that...

bravo

I'm sorry I noticed your portfolio just today as I'm sure I've missed something great in the past. What I see here is simply beautiful, keep it up!

Absolute spitzenklasse. I admire your talents and will keep coming back.

You are amazing. I am with great respect for your work. BRAVO !

Very strong, quite "dark", really artistic. Excellent and very well done work. Be sure that your art-work catch eyes. Amazing portfolio.

i have no words. perfect.

G R E A T !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like your photos very much,you`re a great photographer.Please write to me, if you have time, to daredevil_f@abv.bg. I would like to ask you something.Thanks!

Your style is EXCELLENT & DIFFERENT i think. Beautiful works by beautiful person.. Continue Sharing with Us !!

Bravo, bravo, bravo ... amazing photos.

Natalie, you are doing a very interesting work. Compliments.

Portfolio beautiful and original.I love it.

Of course gothic is controversial, making for intrigue and thus the fascination and perception of beauty in its own way. Now think about the flip side, light and inspiration, its harder to make happy bright things as tempting as the weird spooky world, but give it a try.

Truly great artwork.

Wow! this is a great job. Reminds me of 'Eyes Wide Shot' and 'Eyes of Mars' movies.

to be the Master you are }o)

Felicidades por el portafolio mas fantastico que he visto es un verdadero placer y un viaje al subconciente y las fantasias, sue�os y mundo de la irrealidad MAESTRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

great display of photo art...regards

This is an exceptional portfolio. Your talent in the photographic imaging art is truely exceptional. Beautiful and stunning images.

Alex

I wish i could produce such images, you are great. thanks for sharing

thank you :)

Fabulous work. Really inspiring. Your work goes places I didn't know were possibile. Thanks for sharing.

Just a new comment to say to you that I keep an eye on your work. I'm beginning some post processing and infographism works, I enjoy learning. You're a master. Thanks a lot for sharing.

....fantastico. Ciao.

Bravo and bravo. Tu es fantastique. I love your visions and your deep feelings in your photographs. Bravo pour l` Artiste. YOu are amazing dear Natalie. I wish you all the luck and success! B:)liana

I have been dreaming stuff like this for all my life... And now you put it into pictures! That is the mark of a real artist: no doubt you are promised to a great career. I will stand proud to have witnessed the rising of a photography icon.

I really love your stuff!! I've always loved art that played with elegance and fantasy and twisted them into a dark sort of way which only made it more beautiful instead of disturbing which you have definatly done here. Absolutely awsome. :3

Your work is incredible! It really makes me want to work as well. Inspirational. Where else can I view your work? I love it!

I don't know how I've missed your work - your creativity and the way you carry it thru is awesome - I will not miss your photos again!

I like your style

Highly entertaining and exceptionally well done portfolio.

It's easy to enjoy your style since it's a reminder of dreams more than nightmares.

Cheers

Your retouching technique doesn't overwhelm your photos and it's very tastefully done.

Absolutely amazing.

You are a very gifted artist. Your creativity, skills in photography, post processing and last but not least your beauty make your work so outstanding !

Highly fascinating, creative, brilliant work. What an imaginative mind you have!

Regards..

For some of you who really enjoy this tallented young artist's work, it is avaiable for sale at Deviant Art. Support a young artist so we can continue to get great work from her.

Wonderful images, some of the most powerful i have seen on PN. keep it up :)

Congratulations on making Featured Portfolio. No surprises there, very well deserved. :0)
The dark side of the force is strong with you. ;0)

Your portfolio is wonderful. You have good imagination and this helps you a lot. But also good photo manipulation skills. Continue impressing us with your works. Good job!

Natalie, your portfolio strikes with consistency, as well as creativity and masterty. It inspires and gives hope :) (when I say hope I mean that one day I hope to be able to create work of a similar level, even if not with portraiture or gothic style, nevertheless, beautiful and tempting.. :)

the photographs are really awesome...how did u created them...would u pls take a little time tell me how did u learned photography...i hav also done a basic course in photography... and want to be a photograapher by heaart and mind...but after seeing urs pictures it seems to me that i know nothing..absolutely nothing in photography..pls help me

JUST WOW, NOTHING ELSE.

Nice to see you on the front page, with Featured Gallery. One of the best on PN, imo!

Trully fantastic...

Very beautiful and creative.Well deserved. Pnina

I like that you try to see things deeper than skeen-deep. In addition you are a gifted artist and very expert at PS. Congradulations. Hare Krishna!

Your images are very original and wonderful! Excellent work!

Your entire portfolio is beautiful. Your work is inspiring, mysterious, and dark. I love it.

Oh, tres chere Natalie. Je suis restee sans souffle et je le reste a chaque fois que je vois tes beautes uniques, si raffinees, si poetiques, si artistiques. Je te souhaite une carriere splendide, j`espere que tu as deja beaucoup de succes, car tu es en train de creer la photographie du Futur, et ton art appartient a notre future, et c`est si beau, que tu dois avoir une exposition mondiale, pour cette beaute que tu portes en soi. Je voudrais et j`espere un jour voir tes merveilles dans un musee :) Oh, je suis amoureuse de ton Art, de la beaute feminine que tu exposes devant mes yeux emerveilles. Oh, j`admire ... Humblement, Biliana

Excellent and clean work. I like the manipulation.Well done. !!

original and wonderful!I like your style...

why did you get rid of the other porcelin dolls? they were amazing..im sad that they are gone:(

i didn't get rid of them, you just saw my top photos folder, that's why you didn't see all images. they are on their places :) thank you by the way

I have commented before on the "moths in my head" shot, and I do find your work brilliant. What I find so amazing is not your photography....and please dont take any offense by this, as I'm genuinely envious of the quality of your work, but there is not much left of your photographs in these pieces. I am trully amazed by your imagination. I thank you for inspiring me to delve further within myself to find my heart of art. I would love to see what happens in your times of introspection. Some have said that u are to young and inexperienced to produce such work! I ask what took you so long?

Very amazing moving art work u got here. Its very inspiring to me, you have a great gift/talent~!\

WP

Your awesome!!!!!!

From what I read: weird, scary, gothic, dark.... I think your work (and your artistic bias) might be described as "The dark side of the Phorcetography". As such, and in any case, like it or not, your work is a powerful contribute to this very etherogeneous community!!! as my humble opinion, I might add that the feelings and emotional rollercoasters, typical of your age, show up very clearly in a strong enrichment of this wonderful, "kind of new" discipline I would call "photo-graphic art". My best wishes (with a little bit of positive envy)!!!

i know that some "true" photograpers are really mad on digital photographic art. (especially dark one) but it's so funny how they show their negative emotion towards this. sorry my page is not a film wedding pictures. also my young age is not a disadvantage. i think vice versa

Me gusta la manipulacion. Supongo que con photoshop. El album es fantastico. Enhorabuena.

Do you mind if i set some of your photographs to my backround on my computer? Is that illegal maybe?

oh of course you can use my pictures in your computer :)

Seeing your creative and very emotionally intense portfolio, I can't help but think you must be a very interesting person to meet. Though the preponderance of blood in your photos warns me to keep a safe distance, lest I become part of a prop in your next shot.

Keep it up and ignore the critics.

J'ai 鴩 boulvers饠par ces photos... Absolument magnifique! Ce sont les portraits surtout que j'ai ador顡

I don't speak very well english.I will begin the photograph and I never saw photographs which touched me has this point. The model is splendid also... One would like to be in his place.;op

Veryyyyyyyyyyyy Nice...;)

there's not too many photos i really like so it's hard for me to say that... i love all you have taken. respect 4 U!

I'm not angry... And I don't need to see pictures of a wedding (let's face it, who really likes looking at them even when it's a friend).

My issue with your work is busy-ness. You obviously have strong fundamental skills, so I don't know why you are so inclined to overwork your work.

I (with red face) admit that I would like to guess that you are young - tendency to find dark and busy better. You obviously have a following of admirers, so who's to say "advantage" vs. disadvantage.

Someone mentioned Dali, I love (and own) his work. But you'll notice that its darkness has an offsetting lightness; and always has a point of focus that seems to suck your eyeballs right where he wants them. But then again, I can't stand Pollack - and(other) people pay plenty for his stuff.

My point is, to my (not humble enough) eye, your work would greatly benefit if you mature and simplify.

Your all portfolio is a Masterpiece !!! I am so angry with a person who hit an excelent work of you with a 1/2 !!!!! Some people need a good psychotherapist to help them !

My Best wishes to you !!!

Mark

Wow! I didn't realize that a difference in an opinion regarding artwork was a sign of mental illness. By the way, just how educated are you on brain disease and mood disorders? Surely you weren't implying that all people with such an ailment lack intelligence, or cannot be artistically inclined? I mean, that would be the equivalent of me saying that all diabetics are morons and suck at sports. Yes, let's negatively stereotype everyone. We can start with diabetics, cancer patients, and the physically handicapped. That way, when someone dislikes my photography, and fails to sugar coat a critique... I have a colorful choice of insults to use in my rebuttal. "What?!?! You mean you don't absolutely adore that photograph? Well, you just need to go shoot some insulin!" or "You must have missed chemotherapy today!". Yeah, that sounds ignorant... just as ignorant as your comment about a person needing a good psychotherapist, simply because you didn't like what they had to say. Now, that type of attitude and behavior just screams 'personality disorder'. Perhaps you should think about finding a good psychotherapist, and deal with some of your underlying issues?

Oh, and by the way.. I do like some of this artwork, but I've run out of time to comment further. I have an appointment with my psychotherapist. Damn the luck!

There is probably nobody in this world who doesnt like your work.I myself am addicted to it and can't stop looking it every day!You're my idol. Can you tell from who did you learn to do what you are doing? All best.Truely;Beica

Everyone before me have already say that I will say. For me is your portfolio frighting and very,very tecnical welldone. I admired your work and your feeling for success. V.A.

never recieved...

jeremy.

very well put. there is certainly a lot of talent here, but it's more than severely crippled right now by a very adolescent aesthetic. i hope the photographer is clever enough to appreciate the irony of great praise from an ersatz photonet audience and re-evaluate her work. i also think a bit of variety in subject/model wouldn't hurt.

You are very talented...

All has been said on your wonderfull creative work...a real research work that is true art...you are really "re-opening" my eyes...and teaching me modesty...Bravo!

Natalie i just want to take a second to say.. even though it's probobly been said a thousand times.. ur work is amazing! It is so creative and beautiful... Me As a young photographer just starting out.. I look at ur work and gather inspiration from it... very very good..

It is obvious that your heart is in you work and that you have a gift. Both these show in the raw emotional/visceral impact that your work generates. I hope you find your work as rewarding as I find it worthwhile.

its been awhile since youve made more pictures :/

i saw yr pictures and see so much great jobs in here. You remembering me with one photographer which came to myplaces last month (he's famous with his great book "Silence" and his project in guatemala "Night Chicas" , think all yrworks still are not good enuf, make it more great pictures..!! GO Natalie!!!

I greatly admire your artistry.

Your portfolio caught my attention partially because your Pierot and doll shots are reminiscent of a series of paintings and selectively toned-coloured photos I completed 20+ years ago. And to put passing memories aside, I would have been intrigued regardless -- particularly if your are truly as young as some think you are.

Your work displays significant promise, but do be(a)ware of not coming to depend on a well-honed but limited bag of tricks since that can become a crutch that may hold you back. Much of your montage-like work is compelling, sometimes stikingly clever, but not particularly unique either. In general, I find that your strongest compositions are those which are comparatively simple and sufficient -- overstatement is a very easy trap to fall into.

Your style of work lends itself naturally to low key -- perhaps a little too easily at times; if you really want to push the envelope and challenge yourself, do a series in high key with a subtler palette.

you are a beautiful alien inside and out. Your work transcends art at its very core! words pale in comparison...

.

I said on your first work that I commented "Lucifer the fallen star" (I think) that I am not really a great fan or producer of digital works but yours make me wish i was. Looking at your images that feeling keeps building up. I think your images are filled with creativity and originality besides being very beautiful.

I bit more images and will love you :)

Pretty neat portfolio. You are very talented.

I think this is extraordinary stuff. Ignore the critics; I think your impulse is pure and results in original, creative, thoroughly imaginative work. Overanalysis is likely to kill it, instead of improving it.

Natalie--

Your work is simply stunning. Incredible, breathtaking, amazing--and powerful. Thanks for blessing us with it.

Your beauty is so intense it made me lose my mind. A worthy trade!

No words to express my compliments, your portfolio is impressive and evocative. Best regards Antonio

Strange and beautiful. Not quite photographs, but not quite paintings. I hope you won't sacrifice your style to commercialism.

First of all congratulations to your visualisations Natalie. I'm sure we will see and hear from you a lot down the road. i just like to say to Laurent and maybe to Natalie as well ;-)) that her work is highly commercial and it would come to no surprise, if she would make her way in fashion or advertising with her style in the future. Where ever you choose to go Natalie.. I wish you a great journey.

oops... forgot, If you have the chance... look at Erwin Olafs work and you might understand why I'm saying this.

:)thank you

i guess i will make both and comercial and totaly non comercial works. yes Olaf is amazing!

you've hit me to the heart and mind) beutiful portfolio

This is masterful!! It is way beyond what one can expect of creativity. You are defenitely to my eyes a Genius of this century.

Natalie, amazing images. I feel like I should be listening to the band Type O Negative when I look at them, if you've heard of them. I was just wondering what you are shooting with?

Nick

bravo good job

i really don't know what to say. i really admire your work. You are amzing. i'm jelous. :) in a good way tho.

Your whole portfolio is like a Toy Store for me! 7/7

Your work is really amazing. I admire it! Keep up the good work.

cool, open my eyes, open my mind

Great Work of a Great Artist !!! Like your stuff very much.

I would like to know how much of your work is actual photography?

Labai patinka tavo notraukos!

Really formidable designs. Beautiful, dark and in some cases frightening. What a wonderfully creative mind you must have. Fascinating stuff! I like your 'Reverie' the best I think. I might pinch a couple of your pictures too!

A digital friend showed me your work months ago and I wrote your user number and name name down and added it to my list...and I have visited off an on since. I have decided that and what you are doing is on a par with Loretta Lux and other young artists...Great images produced with a camera and photoshop that rise to the top of any media. Miguel Meala www.photo.net/shared/community-member?user_id=278168 is still one of my very favorite photographers here at P.Net and I think you produce an equally extraordinary vision and sensitivity. Keep it up, and please never lose your vision! My very best to you!

http://www.photo.net/shared/community-member?user_id=278168

Your portfolio is the best for me. Thanx for giving new ideas what i see in your works.(sorry for bad english)

Is there any plug-in package for Photoshop you'd recommend or use? (have Photoshop CS on Mac).

I see you being successful creating a business licensing your work to major suppliers. People would eat this stuff up in stores/online!

-Bob

What can I say, I love your work girl.

Incredible creative aggression for someone so young; you don't simply push the envelope you rip it to shreds; your creative insights are dark but fresh, bold, and cut to the (artistic) truth. I am impressed not only with your Photoshop prowess but you have one hell of a work ethic (something no one seems to notice although this is also likely do to your youth). The production of many of your photographs not only require vicissitudes of thought and creative energy but look physically demanding as well. While Photoshop is primarily designed for photographic correction and enhancement, you have clearly taken it to another level---something I have been working on for moons (but can't seem to get there with out Illustrator of macromedia Freehand). Your portfolio helps me to realize even more potential for the software as a viable implement in the fine arts although it is likely doomed to beg for a place between drawing, painting, and photography. I will place you on my list of interesting people. Thanks for the excellent portfolio!

I think your photos are great i only wish i could take photos that good. my favourite is 'Lucifer The Fallen Star'. Im interested to know how these photos were set up were they black and white with the editions of colour or colour. I can't believe someone can say you could be better no way you are probably one of the few photographers that has photos i like. I love all your photos. Please email me if you have the time and tell me about your photos: kellie_ivy@hotmail.com

Puikus darbai! svarbiausia, kad visi jie issiskiria originalumu. tesk taip ir toliau. bravo

ok natalie i hate you, too much talent too young i am more than double your age and much less than half your talent...keep it going you are an inspiration to us all.....david

great portfolio...brawo..

Hello Natalie, He excuses my English badly, I think that you are a great artist, between the photography and the painting, in any case, a great creator of images, congratulations, luck.

i love your artwork. it dissapoints me that some of my favorite ones have been removed from your portfolio. why is that? is there any other place i can veiw them? thank-you, Anna

I find your work to be extremely unique and compelling. You are a tremendous artist and your vision is truly an amazing gift in which you possess. Thank you for sharing!

amazing, you are a real artist!

Mieux c'est impossible, je suis vrà©­ent etton

The sky is your limit ;-)

do you think that it is possible to present the originals too, as an attachment, so that one could have a brief impression of the photographs before your "poor knowledge and skills" (quote of your actual unobtrusive Bio) started working? Thank you!

Your portfolio shows great creativity and talent. Consider me a fan.

powerful Artist... I like a lot this new presentation of your talent.

You are a poet of photography. Immanence and surrealism are main component of your work. Really is a wonderful job, great artist. Antonio

Natalie, you works are exteremly stunning specially the illustrations which I still wonder how do you make them perfectly like that? Innovative works ..

your portfolio is stunning! i'm awed by your imagination and your fenomenal artistic ability that brings it to life. i find a lot of your work very erotic. some of it is rather disturbing. you most definitely touched me deeply with your beautiful images.

Natalie, your photo's are simply amazing. I assume you might be a pretty busy person, although I would greatly appreciate if you were to take a moment to comment on any of my photo's. You have definintely proved to be quite the inspiration. Oh and please, be honest. Sincerely, Dustin

This is by far the most imaginative art work photography I have ever come across. You are truly a talented person within your own rights. I can only dream of ever doing anything like this. Because of this, I'm now giving up taking pictures of flowers. :p You are an amazing person. I'll be your dog! :)

Even if this score is over the top. Your work is truly amazing and deserves all the credit it gets.

I found the comments by these two guys pretty interesting and quite audacious. Apologies, Ms. Shau, in advance for using your critique post as my own soap box, albeit in your defense. Not that you need any really.

Claims that the works contained in Natalie's portfolio are adolescent is in itself a sophomoric statement and I am a little confused as to why that conclusion was made at all. I think Natalie's work is demostrative of many different things. The entire purpose of art is to communicate, whether it be a linear idea or a more abstract emotion and in the case of Ms. Shau, she executes this purpose with the skill, imagination, and obvious committment that so many artists strive to find. To call her work adolescent would be similar to calling the works of Rembrandt or Vermeer geriatric. This is not an attempt to compare the two genres, only to illustrate the ridiculousness of the assertion that these works are adolescent. Is this also to imply that there is not a high degree of sophistication that is involved with Natalie's (and work similar to hers) creative process or delivery? Like I said, ridiculous. Works like hers are extremely relevant and legitimate in these times and her age has absolutely nothing to do with her ability to execute art, and as anyone can plainly see, an endeavor she does with oustanding ability.

Simplicity in art does work but that is where people go to create safely. An old standby. It is those with the imagination and the courage to see that through to fruition who truly test and redefine the artistic world. Not only does art require the ability to communicate but it also requires the ability to push the envelope, to say something different or say the same thing in a different way. Dali was certainly a pioneer but couldn't I use the same logic in critiquing his work? The Metamorphosis of Narcissus is clearly a busy creation but does it not still communicate a tangible message amidst its complexity?

Perhaps I have misunderstood the position that Jeremy and Vuk maintain, and in this case, I hope I have. However, I find it interesting that when I went to look at their portfolios to see just exactly what "mature" work looks like, their spaces were conveniently devoid of any work, photographic or otherwise.

In any case, Ms. Shau, your work is extrodinary. And I totally agree... your youth is definitely on your side. I hope to continue to see more of your amazing creations.

i really wonder your nightmares and your dreams.. you have a wonderful point of view! and i love your works.. nice to see you here too..

my best regards

excellent and creative portfolio...I liked most of them.But I love a lot "clock works"...congrts.

Natalie ! Super !!! Zametshatelno! Netu slov !!! Vi prosto molodez !!!

Natalie you are very talented and very unique in your stile.Keep doing what you started.Your work reminded me Hiroshi Nonami if you dont know him just check it out.You can consider that you have one more friend.I am a big lover and collector of surart and photography.If there is anything I can do for you let me know.All the best to you.

I'm watching your work since you start your portfolio here in photo.net. I love surrealism, I'm also some kind of painter/drawer. Your works give me lots of inspiration to keep doing what I like. I admire your talent, your way of creat and your work. Your style have nothin to do with Dali as someones says, it's also some kind of surrealism, but nothing even similar to your style. You have your own style, and thats is the most important in art. You r a great artist, and I think that age doesn't matter when your mind is mature enough to create. Sorry my poor english.

I've just discovered your portfolio and I'm speechless. I can only dream about making such incredible work. I know I will never be able to create such a fantasy world as you do. I'm glad that I've found your incredible creative and beautiful work. I'm sure I will come back very often to enjoy your compositions, because they will never bore me but they will always fascinate me. Greetings, Ada:~)

Damn... it took forever to scroll to the bottom of the comments on your portfolio. This leads me to believe that anything I could possibly say has already been said. I shall remain, then, simply, your fascinated fan.

Original and creative work. Please, Keep up it! Thanks so much for sharing. Best Wishes.

I have just discovered this portfolio, and, to say the least, I am very impressed. Clearly, this is some of the most original and creative stuff to be found on photo.net.

AMAZING AND CREATIVE GALLERY, CONGRATULATIONS, TAKE CARE...

and I'm in love...

It is hart to wright you because my words will be lost in this beautiful madness of fans that you have. My words can't express your talent but I will love to know more about you and your way you express your self through photography. So please wright more about you and your childhood, who shaped you and inspired you who loved you and hated you.

Natalie, I'm finally getting around to leaving a comment on this incredible portfolio of yours. Forgive the length; I'm inspired to say a few things.

Just so you know, this comment is from someone that (as I've said to others on here) is NOT really into the "dark arts" as others are. Tim Burton, (ie) though I respect his work, isn't really one of my favs.. nor is Salvador Dali. I say that only so you know that the audiences you're reaching are not only those that would be automatically inspired by your work. Even those of us that tend to be more "mudane and boring" are inspired.

That said, Natalie, I've been getting drawn back to your portfolio over and over again by the stunning and incredible style of your images. Your imagination is astounding, and your ability to put it into application as you do is just amazing to me. (btw.. "catacomb kittens" is my fav, I think *shudder*)

Also, the fact that you're so young, and have already achieved a talent level that many would aspire to (and fall far short of) is also pretty amazing to me.

Someone said above that your style would be improved with "maturity and simplicity".. or something like that. Well.. "maturity" can be awfully boring, lemme tell ya.. And simplicity?? Well.. that's just not your style, and I hope they get over themselves. It takes all kinds, and you're one of a kind. Many, MANY GREAT works of art are VERY complex!! One of the many things I've actually loved about your work is the complexity of it.. and yet, the complexity doesn't seem to detract from the central themes. On the contrary, it adds to it and hightens it!

Aren't you GLAD you can't please everyone?? ;o) Keep being true to yourself.

And finally.. there are many photographic "purists" out there that would argue that what you do isn't "photography" at all... and perhaps they'd be right! To me, it's photographic ART!

I'd also remind them that when photography first came about, artists that used a brush, pen, and hands to portray their heart and souls spit in the general direction of those that used mere "mechanical contraptions" to "capture" what they saw.. or felt. Back then, those same "purists" would have been called "cheaters" simply for using that "new-fangled" medium of art.

What you do IS art, and you do it exceedingly well with a youthful flourish, using the digital media as your brush, pen and hands. I'm both inspired and amazed by your creativity and genius with that "new" medium.

Thank you for gracing this site with your talent. I look forward to seeing (and being chilled by) more of your unbelievable works of art.

Simply an astounding portfolio. I don't like to resort to superlatives - but this is my favorite portfolio on all of photo.net.

Until viewing this collection I had (unfarily) dismissed digital photo illustration as not worthy of my time or consideration.

You have made me discard that viewpoint.

I no longer think the visual effect has to be plausible to be compelling and I thank you for showing me that.

Every image here is so obviously constructed with a clear intent. They have wonderful gothic, romantic and occasionally playful qualities and I cannot dismiss a single one (honestly) as overly theatrical. And you do an exceptional job of grouping the illustrations among the folders in your portfolio. A lot of folks on photo.net could certainly do well to follow your examples here ;-)

Great stuff and you clearly have a great future ahead of you.

Stunning Portfolio Natalie,you dont need any art collage.

My dear Natalie.. Your vision is truly magnificent.. I wish you the very best in all your endevours. Keep up the excellent work.. As the title of my comments says it: It would have been much better for me to be silent as there probably is no arrangement of words I can say that will compliment your work to its fullest degree. But here I am sinning myself trying:)

Glad to see you still posting here.

Natalie.. I have done a series of shots inspired by you.. I would like you to take a look...They are in my portfolio... You won't miss them:) Thanks again for inspiration

Natalie, im gonna ask only this once.... will you mary me?

Your work is of an astonishing level of maturity. I hope that you will continue to develop your art. I find it simply sublime.

It's been a few weeks since I visited your portfolio and I am - yet again - stunned. Your work is simply breathtaking and a whole pile of other fantastic words that make me sound like some sick puking sycophant. I am sincerely in awe.

nota 10, fantastik ;)

Natalie, you are truly amazing! I wish you all the success in your endeavors! Going to London to major arts in a university is a wonderful idea for your career development.... Cheers!!!

Natalie, your work is amazing. I enjoy looking at these mysterious, inspiring images. The only thing I can say is that I'm sad that I don't know in real life the person who is so emotionaly/creatively/spiritualy/aesthetically rich to envision and create images like this. At least so far. :)

Just when I think I've seen the best photo.net has to offer I find you. Bravo... very impressed. Simply supermunnanicklecallmistinonamaciously fantastic. Isd heaud me cupieno hospula!!!!!!!

Congratulations for your creative mind and well done work. Regards.

Beautiful portfolio. I find a little bit of myself in most of your photos and that is not a very common thing. Very original! Reminds me of the movie "The cell" (which is a good thing because it's my favorite movie) :) Keep up the good work!

Very nice portfolio Natalie. Well done :)
