I love sharing my images, and if asked will likely say yes, but become very angry if they are just taken, so please don't do that. Please.

More i look at her pics, more i love what she does..... She's got a special look ("le regard du photographe"), and a lot of sensibility too... Best wishes from France... :)
Oh T shoots the smiles we don't see Brooklyn him, Carolina she one day, I hope, you'll train your lens on me...
I have been a fan of Leighton's portraits since I first laid eyes on one. She captures the essence of her subjects in such a beautiful way. I truly have learned so much from her...
Your photography work is so freakin amazing.. I'm just sayin. You are so talented and worthy a professional status. Your portraits are so artful and thrill me so much I return over and over silently letting your images flow into me. Thanks.
incredible eye, generous heart, adventurous spirit... leighton makes Flickr a better place, one photograph at a time
I SO admire TL's ability to capture not only striking images of people...but a window to their essence, their soul. When viewing her portraits & street photography in general, I find myself not just looking at a photograph, but being in that moment, that place, & at that time.

When viewing her portraits & street photography in general, I find myself not just looking at a photograph, but being in that moment, that place, & at that time. Her post processing & treatment work is beautiful, as well! Plus, she has adorable pets, and well, I am a sucker for adorable pets.

Now I'm absolutely hooked on her people shots. I don't know how she does it (I still wonder if she's got a stage and lighting crew in her camera bag), but her images just grab me.

L takes amazing photographs, they remind me so much of older film work. classic and timeless. i really look forward to her new stuff.
Leighton's work is sensitive and creative. She has an excellent eye that communicates perfectly in her photos.
Whether photographs of "daily life in NYC" - in "guard cats" and the expressions of people - or her own pets and persons, Tansy delivers evocative images. Her "Stepping into the White" set seemingly defies gravity. Her stream often brings joy and sometimes is accompanied by stories - stories that make one ponder, or la… Read more
