Femininelure's photostream

SELF PORTRAITURE IN TEN SECONDS!
My stream is mainly made up of self-portraits which I create using the ten second timer on my camera. This is the main signature of my art. I also never show my entire face.
I began teaching myself photography in the year of 2009, as my best friend gave me a camera for my birthday. My artistic nature instantly felt at home expressing aspects of myself, my dreams, my feelings and my life with my camera! It has been such an enjoyable journey.
I have so much delighted in all the encouraging comments and lessons I have received these last months from my flickr friends. Thank you so much for your support! You inspire me to continue expressing myself with my camera!

“Since my art’s subjects have always been my sensations, my states of mind and the profound reactions that life has been producing in me, I have frequently objectified all this in figures of myself, which were the most sincere and real thing that I could do in order to express what I felt inside and outside of myself.”
Frida Kahlo
“Love is the axis and breath of my life.
The art I produce is a byproduct, an excrescence of love, the song I sing, the joy which must explode, the overabundance—that is all!”
Anais Nin

Alin B. says:
"I think I would not have enough words to describe these wonderful pictures of Katarina..., my words would be poor in content. I'm glad that I met her artwork, who share with us a great collection of wonderful and fantastic pictures, emotions and aesthetic sense."

Lord V. says:
"La fotografia es un instrumento para crear mundos y realizar fantasias, para aquellos que disfrutamos de una imagen y nos dejamos llevar por lo que nos dice, haber encontrado a Katarina es mi mejor logro en los ultimos meses!, sus fotografias estan llenas de una sensualidad y mistisismo geniales, es una delicia admirar sus creaciones y dejarse llevar por ese mundo creado por tan sensacional mujer!!!"

Mark Ledingham Photography says:
"Katarina has an ethereal vision of life and longing that is distinctly unique. Her images beautifully express the inner world of an artist whose soul may be found playing among the woods, forests and lakes of a place we only can long for in our dreams."

Mick Collins Fine Artist says:
"As a photographic Artist I dont often comment on others work as the tendency is to rationalise and see others as yourself, but in the case of Feminalures work I keep coming back to it both for visual pleasure and for influence.
She does all her own self photography on a ten second timer, this is the most difficult and personally challenging genre of photographic art. She carries this out with great technical ability,conceptual awareness and above all she does it with reference to all that is inspiring about photographic art. She is an artist in the trueist sense of the word.
Flickr is blessed to have such a gifted arist in its portfolio"28th March, 2010

"Walking on the highway of fantasies and creation of imagination is Katerina’s gallery, where you would like to stop at every inch and wish to continue the journey for ever. You might have read the definitions of Love, Beauty, Emotions, Sentiments Serenity, Nature, Dreams, Fantasy, Music, Poetry and………….in books and dictionaries, but if you want to see and feel, just visit her photo stream. Her work and words inhabits my mind."

Dr. Cyclo's Imaginarium says:
"Having just discovered Katerina's photostream, I've become rather mesmerized...blessed with a wonderful location, her images are beautiful and gently compelling.....at first you might think oooh, there's words to read, it's another one of those streams, but believe me, this is exceptional work.
After wandering through her gallery for some time I felt as though I was somehow looking at memories vaguely familiar to me in some way...like a faintly remembered dream..
The blend of text and image is well considered and done skillfully, not just thrown together like some ....this results in a feeling of atmospheric resonance within the images...they deepen as you explore them, setting them apart from the ordinary and mundane...this is the work of an expressive and growing artist in touch with the forces around her and not to be treated with a superficial eye.
This really is, as she says, a glimpse into her inner world, which is woven into the garden and countryside around her..
Take your time, let her images enclose you....you will be surprisingly rewarded and maybe even nurtured....."7th August, 2009

Foto by Messina says:
"One could debate all day what constitutes art; it is a question that has evoked controversy throughout the ages. Perhaps closely related to this age old question would be the question "what constitutes an artist?" Rather than attempt to provide some esoteric answer to this question I would rather direct you to view the photography of Femininelure. In the reasoning of this photographer who struggles to define his own voice as an artist I find myself able to recognize the heart and soul of an artist as I look into her amazing images. Above all, I feel that an artist must be courageous enough to bare his or her soul, to confront those aspects of our lives that are most often shrouded in the seclusion of our minds and soul...those secret chambers that house our hopes and fears, our desires and dreams, our gods and demons. I see this ability as an artist in Femininelure's photographic images...a quality that shares with the viewer those aspects of our human experience that the average person can only fantasize about in regards to sharing with the world.
