This is an amazing book. It's a story of a young woman's journey into self-exploration through photography. It's a manual of photographic and post-production techniques. It's an introduction to self portraiture. And it's a look at varied self portraitists and their styles, motivations, and thoughts on others' work.
A pro or advanced amateur may not learn a lot of technique from this book, but I've yet to read a photography book that is as inspirational at this. The author's boundless creativity is most inspirational. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to see how another is able to "think outside the box" and self-educate herself about the art and techniques of photography. She has pioneered her way into a unique role in contemporary digital art.

I paid a few hundred dollars to attend one of Miss Aniela's levitation workshops. While what I learned during the workshop was priceless and it has changed the way that I approach shooting forever. I purchased this book because I am a huge Miss Aniela fan. For those of you who want to understand her approach to processing and her levitation techniques, this book explains the secrets and you won't have to spend hundreds of dollars for the information. Highly recommended.

This book is very inspiring to me. It tells you what techniques she use to create the image. I'm not sure that everything is self portrait though... A lot of images looks like someone else photographed. Anyways, I like the book, and still reading it. It's a book that doesn't teach technical things step by step but show you what amazing things cameras can do which is exactly what I need. Great book.

I found this book to be very helpful. It cuts to chase, and provides for stimulus for creative work. Instead of using this book to blow her own horn about how good she is, she tries to help the reader, and reveal some of the mystery behind beautiful self portraits.

I am very happy I have this book in my library. It is certainly one of my essentials.

This book is an excellent balance between the technical and artistic discussion of photography. It is not a cookbook, and you will not get recipes per se, but it will certainly help you reflect on the art. It will also give a clear sense of how things can be done so you can experiment on your own.

This is a book that is clearly written in a style that is for a younger generation. Very simplistic in its approach, with little depth. I gave it to my 15 year old daughter and can think of many other teenagers who would benefit from it. In saying that, I am fascinated by her photography, how she achieves what she does and the creativity that goes into it.

I haven't finished reading it, but what I have been reading it's excellent, this book it's not the artist's work, it has a lot of her work, but what it's great about this book is that she tells you how to make or how she achieves her self portraits.

Ho trovato molto interessante questo testo, arrivato in ottime condizioni e nelle tempistiche attese.

Non faccio autoritratti, tuttavia da ritrattista è importante per me esplorare tutti gli aspetti di questo vasto genere fotografico, ed il testo fornisce spunti interessanti. Consiglio anche gli altri testi di Natalie, che ho trovato in grado di dare un sacco di spunti ed ispirazione.

Miss Aniela -seit langem ein wichtiger Name bei Flickr- lässt sich hier mal tief in die Karten schauen. Technik, Photoshop und Settingtricks die teilweise verblüffend einfach sind, helfen dabei die eigenen Ergebnisse zu verbessern. Von mir gibts fünf Sterne für das Buch und einen Extrastern dafür, dass Amazon das Buch überhaupt liefern konnte.

Sehr verständlich geschrieben und grundlegende Vermittlung fotografischer Fertigkeiten. Man merkt dass sie eine begabte Künstlerin ist von der man auch gestalterisch sehr viel lernen kann!
