I just looked at your stuff via the Farber site
and then into your website.
I love your unique viewpoint. Great use of
bright purple on your website.
It seems to fit with your saturated spot coloring.

Hi Renata.
My bio is http://www.photoworkshop.com/members/fossum
I was one of the first to join, so it's near the top.
I just looked at the new entries.
Nude NR 1 is my favorite. The shadowed body
curves against the light wall is what does it for me. You are very talented.

I prefer your second assignment photo better. It is far more dramatic and
provides a better focal point for the viewer.
Good luck

"Outer space image"..... I will take it as a compliment.
I paid a visit to your website, very young and fresh.
Definitely a welcome
change from all the stuff you see out there. I really enjoyed the
photojournalism portfolio. Especially I liked the way the colors look, is
that cross processing or what ?

Renata,
Somehow I've missed seeing your work before...WOW!!
Awesome gallery.
Personal favorites: "Marilyn - Nude Study NR 1" for its weirdness,
"Quiet Suffering" for striking composition and "Contemplation NR 1"
for light, shadow and Witchy look. :-)
Looking forward to seeing more of your stuff.

Beautiful work,
I in particular enjoyed nude study nr-1. The way the light glows
through the window to give a hint of the interior of the room and
partially lighting the human form, I seemed to feel the warmth
of the moment.
Your eye did an excellent job with the use of light to show the
definition of the model. To illuminate only a third of the body
and still be able to picture the rest in the minds eye, very good
work.

Reply To: (#198) Assignment 8 - Critique please.
Dear Renata,
Technically, your images are gorgeous. I especially
like NR1 and would have
chosen it over Nr.2 as I felt it expresses the totality of your technique. I
assume that NR 2 is a cropped version of NR1. Is that correct? The
lighting
and planning of your photograph is superb. I really liked the color balance.
My member name is photon. If you would please critique my assignment
submission.
Sincerely yours,

Hello Renata, your work is fantastic,
your use of natural lighting
creates such a wonderful mood. Makes you feel as your standing by and
watching the shoot go on.
I hope that one day I will be able to create
this mood. Could you please give me a tip on creating such a wonderful
image.
My favorite is, in the morning.
I didn't find nr.8.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful work.

Hello Renata,
Nice images at Photoworkshop pages. Are they all shot with just natural
light?
I'm just a news photographer working with 35mm but just now getting into
medium format as well. I have a Bronica ETRSI and I've hooked up an sb28
Nikon flash to it. Any advice for a MF newbie? How about getting published.
Was it a long uphill battle to make the contacts? I'm sure that once they saw
your work it was true love.
Best wishes.

What a kind and thoughtful reply. You sound like a great person. Thank
you for the advice about finding an agency and especially telling me 'never
to give up'.
I feel like Cinderella. When I'm photographing famous people and news events
, life is great. Then the clock strikes twelve and I'm back slaving away
for some wicked step sister. Not really. Just working but it's so , BLAH,
compared to great photography. Best wishes, call me if I can ever be of

Hello Renata, I am a fellow Photoworshop member
and saw your bio page. I was
intrigued! Absolutely beautiful images! I am really a photographer of color
and
I see you are too. I have done some B+W but only commercially.
My love of color in my flowers, architecture and people shows the "life" in
the subject.
I guess that's why I admire your images so much. I may be coming up to Toronto
in
June or July as a bunch of us PhotoWorkshop members plan to meet.
I would be honored to meet you and see your studio! Hope you can join us then.

Wow, these are really nice pictures!
A friend and I were looking through a playgirl once for a laugh, and we
didn't like it at all.
Afterward, we both agreed that that magazine would have been a lot better
if it had included some artistic nudes like the photos you have here.
I found your site through a link on a poser
3D site, and I really like it.
Nice to see the human body treated as something other than a cheap sex
toy.

Dear Renatara,
I just visited your site via Avatar Search...WOW!
I tell you what...WOW!
I really like the way you blend
the photography with the painting.. It's something
I haven't been able to do so far. I have my own art site & would be honored
if you
would visit, as well as offer any advice that you might have. I've been experimenting
with different lighting effects lately, making the most of shadow play...I don't
know,
I just thought you may have a bit more insight than the general public that
views
my work. Again, I really love your work & will definitely bookmark your
site so
that I may return.
Goddess Bless,
Greg

Hi,
I recently spent some time viewing your digital
art at the digital museum website. I found them to
be very beautiful and interesting. You describe
your work as being spiritual. I agree and it is
this aspect that I am most interested in. I have
been creating digital images in the past two years
(having come from traditional painting background)
I have been told that my work is also spiritual and
healing. Because my work is abstract it is helpful,
interesting and instructive to get feedback from
others. How do you feel about that? Is it helpful
for you to receive comments about your work?
My work will be shown at the digital art museum
in July. I would welcome any comments you might have.
Sincerely,
Vince Pucciarelli
