Rosanna Jones says:

"natalie, your photos are like dreams. the lovely sort of dreams, which show the world through beautiful rose-tinted glasses, but are also haunting with their twist of specter-like beauty.
in the recent weeks i think your photos have come a really long way and are better than ever before, which just shows how you are so talented and are progressively getting better and better every time you shoot and this has been so wonderful to see through your uploads on your blog/facebook/and flickr.
you are a brilliant artist

ps you also use light really well and your photos are just breathtaking and you have such nice hair

your photos really catch me and i feel like i look through a dusty window into another unique world.

leah mancl says:

"Natalie's photos have such a creative, ethereal, edgy feel to them. It's the mark of a great photographer when I know whose picture it is right away, but at the same time it looks completely different than anything I've seen from them. Whenever I'm in need of some creativity or inspiration, I head right over to Natalie's stream.
Keep going, no matter what. You will do great, great things."

franey. says:

"I don't know how to start this and I know I should have done this much much earlier.
Natalie is the God of grain and sunlight. She is amazing with everything, absolutely everything she does, and I want to be just like her. She always inspires me to do something great, and she will go far so far in life. She's beautiful, talented (really talented), young, awesome, and she will blow your mind with her lovely photographs.

Keep rockin, Natalie :)

Love,

Even if we don't talk very often, I look at her photos every day and I realise that I can do more, that her every image,picture is special, it's not like the others. She is a great photographer, she inspires me,and I THANK YOU for giving me ideas,looking at my photos, and I'm sure that whatever you'll do in life you'll do great,but photography will be the top!"

cherіsse says:

"i think i discovered natalie's stream a couple of months ago and hands down, the first thing i ever seen from her stream was definitely that berry stopmotion. i fell in love with her work instantly and checked her out at least once a week eversince.

her photo style is right there on my street and i get inspired by her things every single time i see a new upload. they are all full of life, real and the most important of all, original. you can't find the same thing as she does anywhere else.

i just thank you natalie for inspiring me the way you do and hopefully one day you will be a great worldwide known photographer. you truly deserve it!

"Amazing doesn't even cover Natalie's pictures.
She is literally one of the most creative photographer on Flickr, and i can bet on it that she will be much much more famous for her photos in the future. She is an inspiration and her photos are all absolutely beautiful.
Her work is pure art.
Natalie, I salute you. (:"

"Natalie is talented.
In the true sense of the word.
She is one of my biggest inspirations, and she takes beautiful photographs, but also photographs that aren't strictly beautiful but are moving and raw and extraordinary."

10th October, 2010
Paula Pire says:

"Natalie, I know many people have told you about your brilliant ideas in photography, but now I have to tell you myself. Mostly because you motivate me a lot, and that's a very special thing for me, to see your perfect work each upload, each day you try a new series , a new "style", It encourages me to carry on and try to make somekind of art with my photos , as you do. It's hard to explain feelings when I see your pictures (I have problems with expressing in English and my feelings about your work are indescribable), but I'll say you fascinate me. I told everybody I know about your work. You are an incredible photographer, and that word had been made for you my dear."

"I have not written a testimonial for anyone in a good while, but I feel the need to write you one.
Your work often leaves me contemplating how one mind can be filled with such astounding ideas. You are truly genuine and I don't see many photographers around who capture moments like you do.
You're going places."

Elizabeth.Brooke says:

"i just don't know what to say. everytime i see your name in my contact uploads i get this little jump of excitement. i can't wait to see what you've done! i have to say, it never ever dissapoints me. your photos are full of magic, thats the only way i can say it. sometimes when i want to describe my idea for a picture to my sister, i use the adjective kucken. i say "i wanna try to something kinda kucken-y, like in an abandoned place or double exposures." so i hope you know you inspire two girls over here in los angeles :) please don't ever stop taking photos, never ever ever."

I look to you for inspiration for anything you are your own person and I wish i could be like you in that aspect and your photo's never stop amazing me and I have probably favorited all of your pictures and its because I love each and everyone of them. Also I think your so pretty and I wish i had your hair, just saying(: So yeah your awesome and please please please never stop taking pictures."

you are so talented. your ideas blow my mind, i wish i could come up with ideas half as good as yours. your style is just so unique, i can tell when a picture is yours before i see your name below it. you're just amazing, you deserve all the attention you're getting, and i know you'll go far with photography."

fey (federica) says:

"Hey, ehm. I don't even know what to write, anyway, I don't know your works as much as I should, but everytime I look at them I feel so inspirated that I would like to go outside and take photos. I'm so jealous of your talent, I guess it's pretty gratifying see that people feel your emoctions through your photos. Well, I just can't describe how I feel, and I am not exaggerating. You just want to do that, I mean, I'm here, trying to find out a way to make people feel what I feel but I can't. And when I look at your stream I feel so many things. Sometimes I feel good by watching people's stream, you're one of these people, so thank you so much Natalie, for making me feel good and inspirated as well. You have a very great talent and some amazing ideas and I hope you'll go on this way.
Fey."

RebeccaStone says:

"Already have a multitude of testimonials. But here's a multitude and one:

Your work is better than the beard of Zeuse,
It's better than the teachings of Buddha,
It's better than the Vikings, and their helmets,
It's better than many professional photographers,
It's more inspiring than Sam Wise Gamgee carrying Frodo up Mt. Doom,
It's better than food.
it's a word of it's own meant to describe a thing so magical and delicious, that it cannot be spoken amongst mere mortals, or some mighty wrath might end their existence.
It's better than Jesus Christ.
Amen."

ke△lsey says:

"I can't remember if I've ever written you a testimonial or not. Either way:

Natalie, your work is...passionate. It embodies life and love and makes me /feel/ every time I look at it. It's difficult to put into words, it's so good...it's incredible and I am so, so jealous. Honestly, you're one of my top-five favorite Flickr photographers. I get so excited when you upload. :)"

overcast skies says:

"i don't even know what to say, she's so talented it's hard to find the right words...

okay, i'll start by saying that she is very creative and has the coolest, most beautiful ideas..
she always captures such stunning light..
you never know what to expect next, she's constantly experimenting..
that barely covers it, but i'll just stop now before this turns into a novel and starts to sound too cheesy :)

just know that you are very very talented, natalie :)"

abigail morgan says:

"This testimonial should have been written as soon as I laid eyes on Natalie’s stream because it’s pretty spectacular.

She’s the most CREATIVE photographer I’ve ever seen and not just on Flickr alone. Probably anywhere. There are a lot of creative folks but with Natalie, it just seems like she NEVER runs out of ideas. I seriously think she’s going to be famous one day. With film as her specialty. Ahhhh film :) Don’t even get me started on that. She’s a genius at that too. And sunlight. And dust. And tones. And sooc’s. Her golden hour photos seem so magically unreal and then she’ll put “sooc” in the description and I practically die every time. I can't help but "oh and ah" whenever I browse through her photos.

Plus, she has an awesome cat with an awesome name which makes her twice as awesome ;)

So go add her as a contact. Follow her Tumblr. Buy Prints. You 'll quickly see just how talented a photographer she is."

"OK WHAT THE HELL WHY HAVE I NOT WRITTEN YOU A TESTIMONIAL?????
Natalie Kucken is incredible at this. Everything she does just blows me away. She's ingenious and amazing and just makes me go "WOW!" Natalie is an incredibly talented photographer, and I really enjoy looking at all of her work. Keep it up! =)"

christine erica says:

"i'm pretty sure this is the third time i've edited my testimonial. your work is absolutely inspirational and the colors in your photos are to die for. each photo displays a different story which helps to give a unique feel throughout your stream. i'm also quite envious of your use of light. don't ever, ever, ever, stop."

kelsey hannah says:

"natalie is, hands down, one of my favorite (if not my favorite) photographer on flickr. her images are gorgeous and creative, overflowing with light and color, both stunning in their immediate beauty and breathtaking in their subtlety. but what i love most about her photographs is not only that they are beautiful, but that they are genuine. from every photograph i get a glimpse of her life, of emotion, the big and the small, the ordinary and the extraordinary. in short: she inspires me to be a better and more creative artist (when she's not making me incredibly envious of her skills)

ps. she makes amazing stop motion videos"

Keep going, Natalie. You're an amazing photographer."

raegan bird says:

"Oh my. I hate to be so cliche but Natalie's photo's really never cease to amaze me. She is literally one of the best on flickr.
The amount of creativity she expresses in each photograph literally blows my mind.
I love how she has a very distinct style but never restrains herself to anything. You bring something new and unexpected with your shoots, it's brilliant. Each photo is so unique and beautiful it is hard to believe it comes from a sixteen year old, when it appears that she could have been photographing for twenty years.
Her soocs are some that makes you sit and really think, how in the world did she do that. Her stream brings happiness to my day.
For real, her photos are literally pure and concentrated awesome.
Crazy good.
I feel like I need to send you something as a thank you gift for inspiring me so much. Like a 8 foot tall mason jar full of glow-in-the-dark pop rocks and tiny little disco balls. If I find one I will send it, I promise."

"Natalie. Dude.
You're like... I don't even know.
I'm trying to find the words to describe your awesomeness but it's just not happening.
Your pictures are ridiculously epic and the lights and colors and all are just dead on perfect.
And don't even get me started on your film photos.
ahh.
Anyway, seriously, keep with photography, because you're unlike anyone I've ever seen.
kbye :D

(i always say your last name in my head right, just letting you know :)

I love you, your work always amazes me, even before you became "serious" about it... your so diffrent then anyone on here, and i just love that about you.

you actually always make me laugh, with the crazy things you do for photos or whatever you happen to mention on flickr or tumblr, you really make me laugh, if I knew you in real life I would prob be your best friend."

Imapirateee says:

"Natalie, you are incredible. In fact, I can't believe I haven't written you a testimonial already.
I swear that with each upload, you become more amazing and inspiring, and every photograph is more beautiful than the last.
You seem to have a unique way of seeing the world, and the amazing way of making it look beautiful, with the incredible ways in which you manipulate light to make amazing photographs.
And I just love the way that so many of your photographs are sooc.

In short, you are just unbelievable."

She has the best sooc's. Ever.
Her style is unlike any other, and just by looking at one of her photos, I could tell you it's by her.
She has ideas that are so awesome, and comes through with them every time; making you only wish you could've thought of something like that.
She has a style that appeals to everyone, and is such a pretty girl!
Natalie Kucken is one of my all time favorite photographer's ever, and I know how to pronounce her last name! :D
So what are you waiting for?! GO; check out her photostream now.

voldy92 says:

"Natalie. Oh. My. God. One of THE BEST photographers on Flickr. Her photos are absolutely stunning and breathtakingly beautiful. Rarely do I comment and favorite on every one of someone's photos, but with Natalie's, I just can't help it. I find myself loving every single photo of hers, and I'm not even exaggerating. Her photography is gorgeous, a combination of perfect light, tones, colors, and everything. I could write a novel about how wonderful her photographs are, because it feels like this little text-box for a testimonial is not enough to detail just how evocative, incredible, original, and magical her work is. In one word, her photography is perfect. You might think "Perfection is impossible!" but if you take even the quickest glance at her photos, you will wholeheartedly agree with me. In fact, that quick glance will turn in to minutes and even hours of browsing through her stream, because they are her photos are just that beautiful.

Seriously, I can go on and on. Natalie, you are honestly one of my favorite photographers. You are so inspirational, and every time I see one of your photos, I feel like going out with my camera and shooting for hours on end. You are truly quite amazing."

2nd April, 2010
Daniel Graindorge says:

"this lovely inspirational muse here, will go far one day.
i can feel it in my bones.
if anyone overlooks her, then they're missing something great in life.
just you wait, she'll be in magazines everywhere for her beauty and for her marvelous work. good luck natalie! :D"

L I L L I ▲ N says:

"no words i know can do the justice of describing how your photos affect me and the inspiration they give me, but i am going to try anyway.
there are so many aspects that are unique to your photography. sparkles, flares, dust, light, golden hour, sooc, the sun - in my contacts list i know which pictures are yours before i even see your name beneath them. you really know how to use your camera which is obvious from how beautiful your sooc shots are.
besides your technique, the things you come up with are so brilliant that i ask myself each time how you could possibly manage to top your newest idea, but each time you do. who would ever think to take shampoo outside and take photos with it between your hands? who would think to rub pieces of glass together and capture the tiny specks that are left in the air? who would think to use the most household objects (i.e. mason jars) to capture memories on your window sills? there are so many other things i could list. your photos pushed me to see the beauty in my everyday life and the things surrounding me. i used to hate where i live but your pictures made me see that anything can be beautiful if i look at it a different way. your work puts me in the best mood and your photos are so lovely and peaceful that i can't help but feel this golden sunny warm when i look at them.
i hope this testimonial isn't too cliche because i don't want to be just another person telling you how amazing your photos are."

She has one of the few photostreams that I just love to look at. I love going through her photos at random times.
I hope you always take photos. God has given you an incredible gift."

"Natalie. What can I say? I just found your photostream last night and do you know what it did to me? It made me not be able to fall asleep. I just sat there in bed thinking about your photostream. Your pictures gave me a feeling. I don't know what it was, but it felt wonderful. It felt weird. It felt intriguing. Whatever it was, I loved it. You are the most creative person I have ever seen. (I can't say met because I don't know you personally, haaha.) Because of you and your way to find a use with everything, I feel completely and totally inspired to find new and creative ideas and put them into my photos. I can't believe you are so talented only at sixteen. It makes me wish I started earlier so I couldn't be as amazing as you are. I'm no where near that. You make magic with every click of the shutter. So never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever stop taking photos! ♥"

"Looking through Natalie's photostream makes me feel inadequate, but at the same time excited and inspired. The tones and lighting locations are always so BOSS. I love when i see a new upload of hers in my 'new from your contacts' section, no matter how sketchy that sounds. Everyone on flickr should aspire to post photos as great as hers."

"So I don't write testimonials, almost ever. But I couldn't help myself. Your photos are beyond words. Your precise details, your wonderful lighting, the ideas of which your photos blossom from. Everything about every photo is well thought out and lovely. It's beyond impressive and brings new meaning to the words "amazing photographer". You are truly an interesting person and an inspiring photographer."

Jordan Blanchard says:

"Natalie is truly an inspiring artist. She inspires me the most through her use of everyday scenery. She takes an image of something rather boring to photograph and make it a work of art. What I mean by this is she's a well rounded photographer that can be thrown anywhere in the world and as long as she has a camera something great will come of it. I enjoyed her 365 more than most, because I felt like she let her viewers in on her life by photographing it through beautiful images. This girl has immense talent, originality, and creativity that I am sure will take her anywhere she desires."

This is due to many reasons - one, you're pure genious. Everything you capture has undoubted beauty, and I aspire to think like you one day and actually analyze what it is that inspires you. I cannot believe the beauty, and light, and diversity each of your photos beholds."

"Natalie,
I’ve always wanted to make you a testimonial, but I never made it because I know that this will be shamefully long, as all my comments, and probably full of grammatical mistakes because of my precarious English. However, this time I’ll do it :)
I always look like a psycho in all my comments, but it is just for one simple reason; I’m a fan of your pictures. They’re so incredibly beautiful that my small vocabulary can’t say with the correct words how beautiful they are.
The light in all your pictures, is awesome, so full of colors (the light) and so full of… harmony.
The colors, in all of them, are perfect. I just understood what “sooc” meant and I just surprised even MORE of your beautiful pictures. You don’t even need to edit them, they’re perfect naturally. Just like that, your pictures are perfect “straight out of camera”, literally.
And the quality!! The quality in all your pictures is AWESOME.
You’re so creative and you have so good taste that your pictures always look pretty. You have so much talent, so much creativity. You’re full of ideas.
And your work is so inspiring!!

Oh, I forgot to say something about your stopmotions. They’re perfect as well. I love your stopmotions; as your photography, they’re full of beautiful lights, full beautiful colors and, full beautiful music! *yay*
Well, it looks like there’s nothing else to say. I’ll probably continue making stupidly long comment in all your pictures and getting always surprised with all your new work. Right now I probably said everything, but tomorrow I’ll have more stuff to say about your work. Because it is never repetitive, because is always original.
Finally, there’s probably just one thing left to say: You’re an amazing photographer, so, keep taking those beautiful pictures!!

Catalina ~"

Her use of natural light is so incredibly inspiring, and it's awesome to see real images that haven't been insanely re-edited in photoshop. She really knows how to use photography as an art to its full potential. Simply amazing work!"

--Natalie kucken really is one of the best photographers I have come upon. The way she works with natural light is unlike anyone of flickr. She has inspired not only me, but hundreds of other photographers. It's amazing how she can produce such visually stunning photographs without any edit at all. Her 365 is uncomparable. Her personality can be seen throughout each of her photos.--
You are my favorite contact."

You seem to use golden hour, colouring and light as a whole in such a unique way that never fails to captivate what we are looking at. There is something about every single on of your photo's that captivates me, forcing me to return over and over again. Please...never stop."

Your work is just amazing!

You edit perfectly, and even your sooc pictures amaze me. Your pictures are so unique, and they really stand out to me. i'm harsh jealous of your photography skills, I feel like such a wimp at photography when I look at your pictures. :)

It doesn't matter what the picture is, as long as it has the name of the contact on the bottom of it, I will click on it.
