Lane Hartwell will rock your socks off with vivid colors and frozen moments of irreverent humanity, but her real magic lies in her ability to see beyond the superficial and get right to the heart of the matter. Her magic and skills with a camera combine brilliantly to bring us in to worlds we may not know and yet find something we identify with. Call it talent, call it a gift... whatever. She puts it all out there for us and it's hard not to admire her for it.

Great local photography and a very engaging photographer. There are few people whose photostream I enjoy looking through more. I wish I had the opportunity to photograph half the things Lane does. She's definitely got one of the best eyes I've seen on Flickr. And to top it off she's also one of the nicest people you'll… Read more

i would have to vote fetching as one of my top photographer faves to date. i love the story each and every one of her images portrays, as they often portray a semi-stage presence. lately, i have found myself yearning for more information; the story behind the image/people/atmosphere. perhaps even a reality spin off sho… Read more

i would have to vote fetching as one of my top photographer faves to date. i love the story each and every one of her images portrays, as they often portray a semi-stage presence. lately, i have found myself yearning for more information; the story behind the image/people/atmosphere. perhaps even a reality spin off show of some of her subjects! (EBR!)

She's a contender. Look for Lane Hartwell's photos in your favorite magazine. Don't be surprised when you see her name associated with the next celebrity wedding. Lane works hard for the money... and deserves every penny. Soon enough, that money will be big bucks and the rich and famous will be tripping over them… Read more

She's a contender. Look for Lane Hartwell's photos in your favorite magazine. Don't be surprised when you see her name associated with the next celebrity wedding. Lane works hard for the money... and deserves every penny. Soon enough, that money will be big bucks and the rich and famous will be tripping over themselves just to to be within the focal plane of her lens. The ball is in fetching's court... Whatever the game-- celebrity, documentary, journalistic, personal-- the loyal fetching-watcher knows this girl is a winner. She's a contender.

Rad photographers need good testimonials to their radness. While I have never met Lane in person, and am lame about commenting on her photos because she has such a huge following already, her photostream is a favorite of mine and is overcome with radness.

Rad photographers need good testimonials to their radness. While I have never met Lane in person, and am lame about commenting on her photos because she has such a huge following already, her photostream is a favorite of mine and is overcome with radness. She has an uncanny knack for taking completely rad portraits of people. If she gets any radder I may have to move to San Francisco and build her a shrine. That would probably be rad.

fetching is someone i really want to be like. all of her shots have the best range, skin tone, i always feel like i'm looking at living, breathing, beautiful humans. so many people photoshop their pics to death (which can make a nice heightened reality) but hers never feel that way. they are so genuine. it's like t… Read more

fetching is someone i really want to be like. all of her shots have the best range, skin tone, i always feel like i'm looking at living, breathing, beautiful humans. so many people photoshop their pics to death (which can make a nice heightened reality) but hers never feel that way. they are so genuine. it's like the moment i'm at a club and am struck by how lovely the girl next to me is, or when the light strikes a friend's face just right, and i feel so lucky to be alive. fetching... i'm glad you and your pics, your eye, are here.

I wish my flash would work as well as hers, then I could get shots as well exposed at every instant. And as well composed. And have the same subjects. And have all those fantastic parties and events come to me and position themselves correctly in front of the camera frame as I nonchalantly click the camera button. S… Read more

I wish my flash would work as well as hers, then I could get shots as well exposed at every instant. And as well composed. And have the same subjects. And have all those fantastic parties and events come to me and position themselves correctly in front of the camera frame as I nonchalantly click the camera button. She has it so easy... ...or so I say to myself as I curse the lack of satisfactory results after an event shoot. She is by far my favourite portrait photographer on Flickr, bar none, and I get so much out of seeing her stream. More, if not for you for us the audience!

Lane is a master at four things with which the rest of us just struggle: - Framing - Focus - Lighting - Timing Her photographs of people are, quite simply, superb. She captures her subjects' spontaneity and emotion, and does so with a flair that the rest of us can only strive to match. She is, without doubt,… Read more

Lane is a master at four things with which the rest of us just struggle: - Framing - Focus - Lighting - Timing Her photographs of people are, quite simply, superb. She captures her subjects' spontaneity and emotion, and does so with a flair that the rest of us can only strive to match. She is, without doubt, one of the finest photographers on Flickr -- and anywhere else, for that matter.

Lane's photostream is hot and sexy and plump with Botox. Her late-night escapades show a side of the Bay Area most tourists miss, including steamy pole dancing at Oakland's infamous East Bay Rats Motorcycle Club, photo sessions for Ginch Gonch on the Castro, and seedy crack dealings under bridges. The Bay Area is alive… Read more

Lane's photostream is hot and sexy and plump with Botox. Her late-night escapades show a side of the Bay Area most tourists miss, including steamy pole dancing at Oakland's infamous East Bay Rats Motorcycle Club, photo sessions for Ginch Gonch on the Castro, and seedy crack dealings under bridges. The Bay Area is alive and well and Lane Hartwell is one of its preeminent photographers.

I love Lane's work, she has the most beautiful nightshots I have seen, in her photos she captures a part of life we don't get to see every day and I long to see what new photos she is going to put online every day since I can live a diferent life throught out her photos. She is my friend and a good adviser when it com… Read more

She is my friend and a good adviser when it comes to photo, cameras and lenses.

Despite the fact that we never met in Burning Man (or the default world), I feel as if we spent the whole entire week together.

Despite the fact that we never met in Burning Man (or the default world), I feel as if we spent the whole entire week together. It is that instant connection and bond through her photographs that makes fetching an amazing artist. Her pictures offer a glimpse into our souls, and while we all seem to struggle to capture "IT", she seems to hold on to "IT" with tenderness and confidence. Thank you for sharing your amazing photographs.

i can't believe i'm only the second person to write a "testimonial" for fetching -- shocking how lazy we all are!!! i've been addicted to her stream for several months now and all i can say is that she shoots so many shots that make me wish i were standing right beside her. she puts the fun in photography AND nails… Read more

i can't believe i'm only the second person to write a "testimonial" for fetching -- shocking how lazy we all are!!! i've been addicted to her stream for several months now and all i can say is that she shoots so many shots that make me wish i were standing right beside her. she puts the fun in photography AND nails the shots with an accuracy that is brilliant her night shots, in particular stand out to me like blazing phosphorescent glows of intrigue, mystery and downright INTERESTINGNESS (ah, the dreaded interestingness) i've been on flickr long enough to have tapped out on "pretty", "technical", "stunning", etc. i'm in it now for the human experience and the revelations. fetching has got that going on in a way that makes checking my contact box the best part about the flickr experience fetching, thank you (i know, i'm not supposed to directly say it, but dammit!!!!) THANK YOU!!!!!!!!! you make my days, and a bunch of other folks' days, BETTER!!!!! and i can't wait to shoot with you when i make it north xo
