  "Despite the fact the Lauren is the subject of many of her photographs, I think of her first as simply "photographer." She can compose and create images that transport the viewer to a special magic place. We are lucky she shares this talent with us on Flickr."

  Her pictures manage to recount a mysterious story, a hidden secret, something you could only see through a peephole. Getting lost in One of Lauren's photographs is like a watching a movie with twist and turns ups and downs love and conflicts, she truly is an artist."

  The Voice of Eye says:

  "These days - with the advent of affordable, digital technology - it seems too many people feel comfortable calling themselves photographers, simply because they carry the fastest, fattest, and most expensive camera, or two, or three... or four. But really, so few actually understand what it is to be able to recognize, to create, then capture and share the beauty that the person behind the lens sees, experiences, and manages to fit into and immortalize within a frame of both space and time. Lauren Bentley's talent, her skill, her way of seeing herself and the world that surrounds her, have resulted in images that speak to the viewer of humble esteem, tonally rich beauty, and enigmatic sensuality.
  
  Like myself, I sense Lauren is both passionate and curious, an adventurer into light and darkness who experiences catharsis and ecstasy throughout her process of discovery and art-making. I urge you, the viewer, to stay tuned to upcoming episodes from the Cinema Cowgirl... as for me, this gallery will be one of the very few that I will continue to visit and revisit."

  "CinemaCowgirl is a star. Maybe the rest of the world doesn't know it yet, but those who have spent some time viewing her work know what I'm talking about. Her photography often takes us to strange lands with beautiful women (Here's looking at you, kid), and sometimes, corgis. These places are often out of reach of reality. Reality never looked so good after all. Thanks for capturing/creating these images and sharing them with everyone. Undoubtedly, you're making the world a better place. Or maybe you're just creating new worlds. In any event, keep on shining."

  "Lauren is as talented as she is beautiful. No, as beautiful as she is talented, no, as talented as she is beautiful. Oh I give up. Just dip the tip of your toe in her Photo Stream yourself. Within minutes you will be out of your depth, then diving, deeper & deeper, & finally drowning. But you won´t care..."

  "Unarguably one of the greatest talents in the talent-abundant arena that is Flickr, Lauren astounds almost every time with her images. Not only that; she has real flair as a writer, as often demonstrated in her image descriptions."

  "CinemaCowgirl is an incredibly sensual, emotional, and vivid artist. Every image invokes the senses in a way only someone who’s deeply acquainted with them can communicate. After viewing her work, one has the profound sense that they’ve traveled with her into the unfathomable depths of her psyche. They’ve experienced her joys, her sorrows, her complications, and her intimate expressions. Be it a self portrait, an urban cityscape, or a haunting rumination on the natural world. Each holds in it and at the same time equally reflects that wonderful moment of conception that occurred when the abstraction solidified into form.
  
  It’s a completely transcendental experience. One I will enthusiastically replay every time I view a new post, or revisit an old favorite.
  
  Take the sojourn into CinemaCowgirl’s secluded and mystical secret garden of expression. Everything is perpetually in full bloom there and the sights, sounds, and scents are incredibly intoxicating. Be forewarned . . . you won’t return the same . . . and neither has she."

  "a perfect example why sometimes i hate internet.
  you virtually meet an amazing beauty with brain, talented.
  and you just can't invite her to take a simple coffee.
  really good stream, and not only the selfportraits, congrats."

  "Great photographer. I like the wise construction of each photo: scenarios, lights, moods. In a so wide stream there's no space for hesitation, her work is simply flawless and rich of sense. Sometimes perfection scares, here it overdraws thoughts and feelings instead!"

  "Stumbled on Lauren's photos and had to look at each and every one. Consistently awe-inspiring is all I can say. The way she uses color - and how she chooses not to - is second to none. Easily one of the best photographers I've seen on flickr."

  "I want to scream to the world how Lauren's work is so full of beauty and dark mystery, so passionate, so moving, and how she is one of the finest photographers in the world.
  
  You get my point?
  
  I'll save the screaming. Just stop now and look through her photostream."

  "Lauren is without a doubt an amazing artistic talent. Her images contain so much emotion, taking the viewer through a dreamy landscape - big and small, distant and personal. I urge you to grab a beverage of your choice and take a long stroll through her stream. There is a lot to discover."

  "Cinematic, yes... and the movie is all her.
  
  It is always night, or nearly night in her carefully crafted world, a world I wish I could find in mine. The pure colors, the warm tones, the glowing skin, a nostalgia for an epoch which is a blending of the finest parts of many different decades, all these combine to make each new image something to look forward to. I suggest you keep your attention focused here as her constantly evolving and refining aesthetic results in new images.
  
  Also, she is no island. Her thoughtful and sensitive eye also finds its way to other artists' photostreams, creating an interchange that allows us all to feel more a part of this photographic community called flickr. Thank you, Lauren!"

  "I don't know how I found Cowgirl. I'm glad I did because her work is fucking wonderful and I love her for it. Very personal and moving, intense, moody, she shares a part of herself with us and lets us into a little part of her world. Really great work..."

  "CinemaCowgirl's work would make a random passerby stop in his tracks and contemplate his psychological awe afterwards. When I first visited here, I knew that this talented and kind soul would forever be providing us with Magnum Opus after Magnum Opus, and I am willing to bet that most everyone would agree with that.
  
  Certainly a mastermind, sensual, creative, a marvel!, a prodigy!, influential and admirable are only a few epithets that fill her goblet. And not to mention that she is influxually kind!
  
  Continue to create and experiment, my friend, because I want to be taken along for the ride! Shine for always! :)"

  "I stumbled upon CinemaCowgirls images a couple of days ago and was instantly a fan. Seeing the world through different eyes is nothing short of amazing while seeing her world through her eyes. Her dramatic sense of self portraiture is so captivating that i find myself checking back often in hopes of something new. You can always tell when by looking at a photographers images when they are truly enthralled in their work. And i see this in ten fold with hers. That and oh yeah... and i would shoot protraits of her in a New York minute."

  "Cinemacowgirl combines an exquisite sensuality with a strong sense of composition and the abstract. Beautiful and edgy, she explores the darker ways of self and the city and exposes the wonders of her body and her vision. Her work is charged and evocative and never ceases to amaze. Her photostream is addictive and a joy to return to."

  "Everytime i wander through her photostream i want to add it entirely to my favourites. Her style is unique and simply elegant. She is a possessor of a poetic eye, and her art is a constant source of inspiration , a constant reminder of how fragile and fleeting human existence is. Once you see one of her photographs you´d like to come back every day to be part of the visual delight she shares with us."
