"Allie is a truly incredible photographer. Her photos never fail to captivate me in one way or the other. Her delicate tones, precise crops, and stunning compositions have never disappointed. I always look forward to her future uploads. There is something so personal and real about her art and I can connect to the emotions she portrays in them. She is so talented and I am so excited to watch her grow even more as a photographer."

"I just went through your photostream, and I've forgotten how much I love all your photos. You have such a wonderful style, and your processing is beyond amazing. I wish I had half the ideas you do. I can't wait to see the pictures you took from Europe, and all the new ideas you have in store. Keep it up, girly, you're inspirational."

"Alison has the enviable advantage of being a lovely subject herself, but that's not taking anything away from her uncanny ability to identify subtle life and beauty in the most ordinary things, be it a leaf or a pepper shaker.
Self-portraits can easily come across as narcissistic and repetitive, but whenever Alison appears in front of the camera, she reveals a little more of herself. Each photo of her is unique in angle and tone, which is even more impressive considering the fact that she is one of the most prolific Flickr authors I know.
Alison, I will stop counting your photos as my favorites. For all I know, that might include your entire photostream.
:)"15th February, 2011

"Oh my goodness, Allie.

"Allie’s photostream is the account of a sensitive and creative teenage photographer. However, this is no kid’s art. Allie is an important artist is the making. Her images document her world with a budding professional’s talent and the critical eye of an artist. With a background in dance, she is keenly aware of form and the body’s lines and it shows in her compositions. She is as comfortable in-front of the camera as behind it.
A clear standout among a new generation of creative young Flickr photographers, her images are personal but not narcissistic. Allie is really something special, she records light and her life as she finds it, albeit beautifully."9th November, 2010

"why haven't i wrote you a tesimonial yet?
when i first joined flickr you were one of the first people i discovered. you are one of my biggest inspirations. you capture the most amazing things. i look forward to your 365 picture everyday (well, that sounded creepy) and when I have lack of inspiration I always go to your stream, and leave it feeling extremely inspired! thank you for your great pictures! keep up the good work :)"6th March, 2010

"I adore your photostream! Your pictures are so flawless in everything, light, color, composition, etc. You take lovely self portraits that are not only creative, but meaningful too! This sounds too formal so I'll end it by saying that you are a super great photographer and keep it up!"

Yoav says:
"There's no doubt that Allie is one of the most prolific and creative photographer on Flickr. Most of the self portraits taken are boring me because the photographers just want to show up their face in various places. Allie self portraits are different because she tries to describe her own feelings through the lens and she enjoy not only being in front of the camera but also as the only muse of her work. I'm a big fan and hope to see more stunning pictures in the future!!"

"Esparist is probably one of my favourite portrait photographers here on Flickr. Her photos are magical and she is a beautiful model, and you can tell right away that she puts her heart and soul into these wonderful photos. The light in each and every one of her shots is amazing. No wonder all her pictures are sooc.
I'm so glad I discovered her. I could keep looking at her stream forever.
Keep up the excellent work, Allie. :)"12th January, 2010

jessieroth says:
"you are among my very favorites on flickr, so i thought you were due for a testimonial :)
you are so very talented, and not to mention very nice and absolutely gorgeous. your photos have a quiet expressiveness about them (i don't know how else to describe it). they are so simple but say so much. you are also fantastic at sooc and i think it takes a real photographer to make magic with a camera that requires no editing. keep it up, you will surely go somewhere with photography one day
oh and thank you, so much, for being an inspiration"13th January, 2010
