luisa's pictures are among my very favourites, both beautiful and witty. her stream is a constant pleasure for me. if there is room on her profile for one more testimonial then i hope this is the one.

ela é a minha bruxa preferida...e , ainda por cima, constrói casinhas onde eu queria morar...*

Se existe um bom motivo para ver, ele se chama Luísa Cortesão. Luísa é luz, fonte e ninho!

*L, thank you for your quiet sure shots framed with casual perfection and such intimate grace that each of us can feel as if they were made for our eyes only.

Luisa has a genuine and sensitive way of making us see the beauty and unexpected in everyday situations. Thank you.

i really enjoy seeing the world with luisa's eyes. Her photostream is - sort of - my instant vacation on rainy days.

Luisa rocks - plain and simple. Thank you for showing me how to see! :)

Gosto da simplicidade do seu olhar, o que torna as fotos bem mais interessantes. Luísa não deixa nada passar despercebido.

Ma senior

i am consistently struck by the beauty and clarity in luisa's images. she was one of the first fotobloggers i discovered and she has remained a treasured inspiration over the years.

Ó Luísa, pá, já estou como o Zé... fosses minha mãe, minha irmã, whatever, e não saía de casa!

As gaivotas desenham triângulos no céu para a Luísa, porque só ela consegue perceber a geometria escondida das coisas. Tudo é ordem no mundo dela, uma ordem suave como a luz de Lisboa. Gosto muito de tudo o que ela faz. E sobretudo gosto ainda mais de a ter conhecido. Feliz Natal para ti minha amiga.

Luisa has been my favorite from the very first beginning.

Elegant. Confident. Surprising. Versatile. Prolific. And always worth watching.

e que bem que me sabe sempre os teus olhares poemas momentos :) e brincadeiras ;)

*L has a wonderful eye. She can see shapes and colours where no one else sees anything at all. Look at her pictures, she'll teach you how to see.

Luisa has a way of seeing the world that is both simple and inspiring. In her photographic imagination, not only will inanimate objects sing and dance, but they will do so with previously unheard of grace.

«On ne voit bien qu'avec le coeur.» -- Saint-Exupéry De cette façon (avec le coeur) cette merveilleuse sorcière voit, chaque jour, ce que les autres laissent passer sans rien remarquer. Elle est vraiment mon héroïne.

ceux de cette ville la regardent avec le coeur, les autres seulement avec les yeux, "Elle" regarde partout avec les deux.

A lot of my favorite pictures are *L's... Obrigada!

*L never leaves home without a broom...little does she realise that modern bruxas now use vacuum cleaners...and oh! yes(lest she cast a spell on me)she's a a foto wizard.

she is my bruxa and she makes poetry with images*

Sometimes she is my mother and she takes great photos :0)

Luísa has been a great inspiration to me, as a photographer and artistic sorceress. She takes sand and makes continents and carefully constructs thick shadows in her basement. These will one day take over the world and i will live to see the dream. Thank you, *L!

my first testimonial to anyone's work, i have to say that *L's photos have a subtle, sweet grace that are indicative of an observant and unique perspective. her work is poetic and full of arty goodness ;)

I wish I had a mother like her! or... a sister or... whatever! love *L ps. and she takes the most beautiful photos!

She is not my mother and she takes great photos.
