  "Clur brings scenarios to life in her photos. Her shots liberate the inner fantasy of the viewer through using fear, control, protection and liberation of the psyche!"

  "I hesitated for a long time before writing a testimonial on Claire.. Claire you are such an inspiration and I felt like no matter what I say about you will never do you justice.. you are a beautiful person, and a talented artist, I look forward to your images everyday and I learn from your talent.. it is my pleasure to have to know such a sweet friend like you!"

  "Can't believe I haven't done this already! I don't think it's over the top to say that ALL her pictures are beautiful and elegant. I'm so pleased to see Claire taking her talent to the next level and making some money (naughty word!) out of it... check out her blog and I guarantee you will be so impressed. A good portrait photograph is a wonderful gift to give to someone and Claire seems to have a natural ability to snap at exactly the right moment!
  
  I'm very honoured to be on her contact list - she's a lovely lovely person and a very sweet and loyal flickrbud (who I'll hopefully have the opportunity to meet in the real world very soon!)! Keep up the beautiful work my dear xx"

  "I consider Claire (AKA Clairey) to be one of my most valuable contacts here on Flickr. Not only does her wonderful work provide me with inspiration but she is also very considerate with regards to commenting too. She is very skilled as a photographer and artist and her lovely nature shines through in all of her images. Her major strength is macro work, however her landscape/ photo journalism work never ceases to amaze. It would not surprise me to see her turn professional....
  
  ~Thank you Claire!
  (this was long overdue)"

  "Claire,
  You are too cool! Loved what you had to say and the photos that you posted from the first day I laid my eyes on your stream...I think the first one was that hair thingee...anyways. I am so happy to have watched your stream this past year. i use some of your work as models for my own. Not necessarily duplicating them, but trying to care enough to create something "worthy". This you do daily, and I am so proud for you and happy for you that so many others , on Flickr and Off, also see your work for the art that it is...I can't wait to see the next year, then the next year, then the next"

  I'm so glad I've found you here on Flickr. Thank you so much for the inspiration! xoxo"

  "Claire ... where would Flickr be without you? It certainly wouldn't be anywhere near as pleasant. I always look forward to your next photo and really appreciate you always finding time to leave a special comment. Claire, love your work and I think you're just the best. It's a pleasure to call you my friend."

  "If these photos were hanging in a gallery, I bet that after you had wandered around and seen each and everyone of these beauties, you would have a huge smile on your face. That's what i have when i look at Claireys stream. Enjoy, but then I know you will anyway."

  "What can I say that hasn't already been said? Except my thoughs...
  
  Clairey is one of the most honest, and talented photographers I have ever known!! Her work is positively stunning, and inspiring to say the least!
  Her loving personality comes though in every one of her amazing shots! Look through her photo stream, and you will see the true beauty of her!
  
  I am honored to have her not only as a contact, but as a true friend!
  Much love and respect to you Clairey!"

  Martha★ (Pixel Lounge Studio) says:

  ""Now you see, Clairey seems to come from nowhere and blast me with comments, even when I haven't been around for a while. She's the epitome of what flickr should be - always giving and never expecting in return. Her pictures are truly unique in their own right and offer a glimpse into the world which surrounds her daily life. I find it rather enjoyable to watch another photographer constantly striving to experiment and pool their "audience" to find out what people like. Thank you so much honey for sharing your art with us!""

  "Claire is amazing.. that's the bottom line. She has a way of capturing all the smallest details in life that we all take for granted and showcasing them to the flickrworld in an entirely different light. It would be an understatement to say she inspires me.
  
  Claire, i love everything you do - please don't ever stop :)"

  "A magical artist, Claire's work is some of the most creative you will find. Perfect macros - which will make your jaw drop - and inventive compositions, her work is always a pleasure to behold. Keep it up my friend!"

  "It's way overdue that I write something about Claire. Where to start?! She just knows how to capture gorgeousness like no one else. She can make ordinary things look great. Her stream is full of color, dreamy bokeh and creativity. I so enjoy coming back every single day and I never wanna miss any shot!
  
  But she's not only a great photographer. She's a warmhearted and lovely person and a great Flickr contact as well.
  
  I am glad to have found you here on Flickr.
  Keep up the awesome work!!!

  "Oh my girl Claire ... totally loooove her stream! She can make anything look just so gorgeous. :) I'm totally inspired by her macro photos! They are always so dreamy, soft and full of life! And I totally
  admire her as a person too, she is always around to comment in my stream and so full of positive energy! :) I would love to meet her someday! ♥"

  "In addition to being fun and full of mischief, Claire has this incredible eye for looking thru the lens and finding enchantment on the other end. Browse thru her stream and you will be convinced that it is no coincidence that she has this natural ability to capture the true essence of her subjects only because there is such variety in her themes. You cannot rely upon luck with such diversity but rather you must have technique and vision. Clairey has both and I cannot wait to see what she shows us next!"

  "Claire and I have never met, spoken or written to each other. Yet, through her photographs, I feel a strong connection to the way in which she sees her world.
  
  Time after time her images appear in my contacts' portfolios and I feel compelled to add more and more of her images to my favourites list.
  
  Maybe, one day, if you have not already enjoyed and appreciated her portfolio of wonderful photographs, you will feel a similar connection to Claire's world?

  "How much fun is it being a Flickr friend with Claire!!
  Always there to visit my stream and comment, most often making me laugh with that great sense of humor too.
  
  We belong to alot of the same groups, so we see each other around frequently on Flickr, and that is just fine with me. Because there isn't a shot of Claire's that I don't want to see multiple times!
  
  Such a variety in her photostream, and so many of my fave things, like flower macros, feathers, waterdrops, and bokeh......fabulous bokeh!
  So much talent and creativity, always trying new things, and playing with toys on her stream. You never know what wonderful photo will be uploaded next.
  
  You make the Flickr experience so much more fun Claire, and I'm very lucky to have bumped into you here, and now on Red Bubble too!!
  
  Keep up the good work,
  all the best, Sylvia"

  "Claire and I started on Flickr at about the same time. The difference between us is that her photography has advanced so much that every new upload leaves me smiling.
  I'm so glad she invested in a macro lens..."

  "Clairey Hairey, wow i never realized how catchy that is!
  But on to the main event, her photography is the most amazing thing I have seen and I can say her plant/flower photography is unrivaled
  I am just really glad she likes my stuff because coming from someone of her calliber its a ridiculously good compliment
  Her work is two things to me
  1) Breathtaking
  2) Awe-inspiring
  
  I just look up to and hope I can get as good as her :)"

  "Claire is one of my best friends who only joined Flickr in recent months but her photographs are truly breathtaking. She has a natural talent for creativity and all her photographs reflect that with passion.
  
  I wanted to take up photography as a hobby a couple of years ago but she declined to come on a course with me, then out of the blue she joined Flickr and now she wows the world. I realise why she didn’t want to do a course with me….she didn’t need to ;-)
  
  Her flower and macro shots are her signature and they are some of the best on Flickr being Explored in no time. As she says in my testimonial ‘we have different styles’ but we will always be the best of friends. Here’s to many years of photography nerding ho!

  Jay Bees Pics says:

  "I've had this testimonial on the back burner for a while as whilst Claire's photographs tick all the right boxes for being amazing, stunning, beautiful & innovative etc, etc, there was something more to say & I couldn't think what that word was. I think I have it now & it was a simple word & that word is talent with a capital T! She has the perfect eye to turn a simple shot into one that is truly breathtaking, whether it's flowers, macro, landscape, abstract or black & white, she has the complete package!
  
  I haven't known Claire long as she has only had her DSLR for a few months although you won't believe that when you view her photostream, you would think she had been at it forever & is a real Pro (yes, I am talking about her pics & not her recent marriage - sorry Claire, couldn't resist a giggle) but in that short time Claire has become my flickr soul mate in more ways than one so thanks Claire, long may it continue!
  
  When you view Claire's pics you will be inspired but please don't steal her ideas, that's my job!!!!!!
  
  Keep up the good work CH, you brighten my day :))"

  "I have known Clairey since March, she has always taken the time to comment on my images. She's a wonderful photographer and comes up with many amazing and creative flowers macro images, but also landscape images. Shes not only a great photographer, but also one of the kindest, most generous people I have met on Flickr. Thank you, for the joy of your photos! She's a great resource on Flickr!""

  "Claire is a true lover of life and it shows up in her love for photography! She writes with color, hunts down lovely lighting, and loves the subjects that are so, photo, friendly! She loves travel and people and flowers and animals... :) Shooting Amsterdam in black and white was perfect and her macro-color-flowers are divine!"
