I am excited to see each new image from Rowena’s photostream. The world, her friends, her neighborhood, her life, seen through Rowena’s eyes and lens, is like a warm and beautiful memory.

I am excited to see each new image from Rowena’s photostream. The world, her friends, her neighborhood, her life, seen through Rowena’s eyes and lens, is like a warm and beautiful memory. There is not a hint of clichéd teenage angst or oppressive darkness in her art. Her images reveal a world steeped in camaraderie and laughter and friendship and fun. Her photographs are a record of her memories but they seem familiar to any viewer as they evoke an idealized world of warmth and beauty. Rowena also has a confidence in her art that is apparent. So sure of herself, she openly offers tutorials and examples of her editing techniques with all who follow her photostream; a very rare occurrence within the Flickr community. This is an excellent artist and one that I follow with acute interest in her growth. She has all my hopes for a future full of creative success.

I discovered Rowena on my very first visit to Flickr and I have been thoroughly enjoying her fabulous photos ever since. Rowena has a unique and fresh style to her photography. She manages to find the best locations and her enthusiastic approach to each and every photo shoot is inspiring. Her warm and genuine personality makes you feel like you are intimately connected to her and her vast quantity of close friends (and willing models). She has established a relaxed, interactive and magical place among her photo stream. I encourage you to browse through her wonderful selection of photos and see for yourself her gifted, youthful talent and her truly unique view to the photography world. Thank you so much for our special friendship Rowena! =^D

Your work blows my mind. Seriously. I love and admire you so much, and every time I see one of your pictures on explore I secretly get a little bit excited :) You are one of my favorite flickr contacts ever, and such a beautiful person inside & out.

Rowena's work is so unique in multiple ways that if you saw a photograph that she took, you can instantly match up that it belongs to her. That's one goal I try to do as an artist and photographer as well, but you successful accomplished it. Your lighting within your photos is processed different from others, and it is… Read more

Rowena's work is so unique in multiple ways that if you saw a photograph that she took, you can instantly match up that it belongs to her. That's one goal I try to do as an artist and photographer as well, but you successful accomplished it. Your lighting within your photos is processed different from others, and it is definitely eye catching. Your use of fog is also incredible, creating the attention to be directed towards the subject, almost as if the fog is a form of negative space so all eyes should be on the subject. Another thing that I love about your work is the way you incorporate emotion through objects and symbols, such as the scarves floating. It's a wonderful concept you have started and i've always followed up on that. You're a wonderful sweet person as well as a great photographer.

This girl is amazing. Your photos have gotten so good, and so genuine. That's what really makes them special, I get the sense that you're really just doing it for the love of doing it. You and your models/friends are really having fun, and that's something that's enviable and hugely inspiring. That chemistry, that a… Read more

This girl is amazing. Your photos have gotten so good, and so genuine. That's what really makes them special, I get the sense that you're really just doing it for the love of doing it. You and your models/friends are really having fun, and that's something that's enviable and hugely inspiring. That chemistry, that approach is just something that comes naturally and you've got it. It might not be teachable or transferable, but it is something for the rest of us to aspire to. Technically, you have an incredible eye for light. What you do with sunsets and golden hour is something that I've been trying to steal since I saw you do it. Well that's not true, I mostly come out at night. But I've been wanting to steal it, and the next time I find myself shooting someone into the sun I'll try to keep your shots in mind as a guide. And you're also just a really nice person. Even if I post a completely shit image, you'll find something to say about it that puts a smile on my face. That kind of support is so important with something like photography, where self-reflection and doubt is inevitable. Point is, you're bound to like Rowena's work, and you'll be inspired by it. And if she likes your work you'll have a new friend. -jerinthebox p.s. I knew her before she was cool (sorry, had to say it!).

There are a few things I'd like to say about Rowena. 1) Everyone of her photos inspires me immensly 2) she is suuuch a sweetie pie! 3) When I look through her photostream it makes me want to be a better photographer. It makes me think, look what she can do, at least try and have a fifth of that talent! Rowena is… Read more

There are a few things I'd like to say about Rowena. 1) Everyone of her photos inspires me immensly 2) she is suuuch a sweetie pie! 3) When I look through her photostream it makes me want to be a better photographer. It makes me think, look what she can do, at least try and have a fifth of that talent! Rowena is an immense talent and she is ALWAYS one of the first people I click on when i get on flickr. In fact sometimes I go on flickr just to see what new stuff she has up. I thank Rowena for making me want to be a photographer and for giving me a view into the beauty that a photograph has. Love ya girl! Rafi

I honestly didn’t know where to start favouriting photos when I first found Rowena’s stream. Her shots are so full of life and energy, usually taken in some random field or outdoor location. A lot also feature hair or an article of clothing flowing hypnotically in the wind. The most impressive skill she has though i… Read more

I honestly didn’t know where to start favouriting photos when I first found Rowena’s stream. Her shots are so full of life and energy, usually taken in some random field or outdoor location. A lot also feature hair or an article of clothing flowing hypnotically in the wind. The most impressive skill she has though is her use of light. I’ve never seen so many shots directly into the sun that have a perfect exposure, brilliant colour cast, and overall professional composition. Her photos are a real treat.

Every picture I come across by you is absolutely breathtaking. I am always so excited to see what comes next from. Your use of colors and light are unlike anything I have ever seen. You inspire me all the time with your amazing locations and creativity you portray through each photo. This girl is AMAZING!!!!! thank you… Read more
