Take a decade or two of friends, dress them in the most stylish haute couture clothing, relax them with assuring words like "art" and "fame". Whisk them into a frenzy of artistic modelling ambition then transport them to a cold, remote and desolate area of Irish countryside. Freeze for between thirty and ninety minutes whilst adding breakfast bar stools and exercise balls. Finally blend the layers of style, landscape and art. Dodge, burn and leave to stand on Flickr for a few minutes. Tasty. This isn't any ordinary photography, this is pure Solarina.

Lucy is an extremely gifted photographer who does nothing but move forward and take bigger and better images. Since I've known her she has increased in creativity and talent, and as far as I can tell she won't be stopping anytime soon!! She deserves all the praise she gets and then some! Not to mention that she is a … Read more

Lucy is an extremely gifted photographer who does nothing but move forward and take bigger and better images. Since I've known her she has increased in creativity and talent, and as far as I can tell she won't be stopping anytime soon!! She deserves all the praise she gets and then some! Not to mention that she is a great friend! I love you Lucy! :D

Lucy is funny. Exceedingly so. And even though she's only a year older than I am, I learn a lot from her. How to let go and just feel, for one thing. Her photography is brilliant and inspirational, as you may well see for yourself. I used to be a superjealous wuss and not allow myself to even comment on her fan… Read more

Lucy is funny. Exceedingly so. And even though she's only a year older than I am, I learn a lot from her. How to let go and just feel, for one thing. Her photography is brilliant and inspirational, as you may well see for yourself. I used to be a superjealous wuss and not allow myself to even comment on her fantastic works, but now I just let my eyes pop out of their sockets and coo in wonder at her artisticulastic ingeniousness. Love you Luce =D I have but one request: Don't stalk me on facebook, please. Please? XD 'Arry xxx p.s. I can't believe I haven't written you a testimonial previously!

Lucy strikes me as the type of photographer in possession of not just a great eye for composing scenes (and finding wonderful locations), but also a swiftly developing technical ability to capture them at their best. Matching these capabilities is key in a such a competitive field. I'm not a betting man, but you shoul… Read more

Lucy strikes me as the type of photographer in possession of not just a great eye for composing scenes (and finding wonderful locations), but also a swiftly developing technical ability to capture them at their best. Matching these capabilities is key in a such a competitive field. I'm not a betting man, but you should never write off the luck of the Irish. Keep a look out for great things from Lucy in the future. This emerging and unsullied talent could well go far.

Don't be fooled by the sweet face of this girl, she may have only nice words for everyone but her work is simply killer! ;) Her recent images have wowed me off my oak chair spluttering my tea everywhere (well almost!) My favourite images of Lucy's are her recent works which present the female form in mystical, dynamic … Read more

Don't be fooled by the sweet face of this girl, she may have only nice words for everyone but her work is simply killer! ;) Her recent images have wowed me off my oak chair spluttering my tea everywhere (well almost!) My favourite images of Lucy's are her recent works which present the female form in mystical, dynamic and empowering, as well as beautiful, poses amongst nostalgic-looking, natural surroundings. The images are literally a breath of fresh air. It's her astounding progression that woke me up into writing a testimonial, and yet Solarina's stream is full of gems right back since over a year ago. Thank you Lucy for being part of my Flickr experience with your inspiring creative presence, as well as your generous soul.

Solarina's work is amazing ! She constantly surprises me with her ideas and their execution. When looking at her stream I see a dark beautiful art of great depth, and a young artist who is doing great things, with a great future in photography. Her work also makes me yearn for an ancestral Ireland that I have never kno… Read more

Solarina's work is amazing ! She constantly surprises me with her ideas and their execution. When looking at her stream I see a dark beautiful art of great depth, and a young artist who is doing great things, with a great future in photography. Her work also makes me yearn for an ancestral Ireland that I have never known in reality, only in my dreams.....REAL talent.

~Solarina's photographs reveal a lively world full of magical moments. You'll see people dancing through radiant beams of sunlight and exploring dramatic Irish landscapes.

I've been a fan of Lucy's since I saw her orange sweater photos - which still make me smile months later! - but it's her ability to capture motion and emotion that keeps me coming back for more.

I've been a fan of Lucy's since I saw her orange sweater photos - which still make me smile months later! - but it's her ability to capture motion and emotion that keeps me coming back for more. Her self-portrait work is so good (and occasionally so deliciously eerie) that I sometimes want to chuck my own camera in to the closet and surrender - it's either that or buy a plane ticket and beg her for lessons!

In this last year I've seen you go from an interest to an inspiration. Your work has consistently gotten better, I may have been gone for a good while, but i kept up to date on your newest postings and its clear you've made leaps both technically and conceptually.

In this last year I've seen you go from an interest to an inspiration. Your work has consistently gotten better, I may have been gone for a good while, but i kept up to date on your newest postings and its clear you've made leaps both technically and conceptually. You have something thats incredibly important to any artist, a discernable style. Regardless of what you shoot, its clearly your work. Best of luck lucy

I think the absolute bestest thing about Solarina is that she lives in Dublin!!! I think the absolute bestest thing about her photos is the energy and life in them. Being in her photostream always makes me laugh or smile or feel like trying out something she's done. There is a tangible energy in her photographs, a… Read more
