"…There is a current of deep joy and self-confidence in me that is new. I think your photograph reflects all of this. I like that woman who is laughing at the camera... When he saw the picture, my husband said: "This is how I see you always, smiling, alert, with an open heart." So, thank you Juliet, for giving me a chance to see myself as Willie does: with loving eyes."

"Dante thought that, after seventy, one should survive to the 'perfect' age of 81 (nine nines). Juliet's benign portrait shows me looking rather wistful at an imperfect 72 (eight nines). In a very sweet and affectionate way she managed to make a lovely portrait."

"Juliet van Otteren is a photographer in search of that bit of elusiveness we call the moment and she captures it again and again in the net of her camera."

"I have waited for years for a photo like this. But now that I've seen it, I'm not sure I can describe what makes it so good. Is it the pose, the shadow, the light, the moment? Certainly the beauty and complexity are on a higher level than what other portraitists have come away with. Juliet van Otteren has a singular talent; she seems to see more than other photographers."

"Juliet van Otteren knows how to make light and shadow dance till a photograph reveals the split second of deep telling. We can trust her quiet praise-worthy revelations."

"I dislike sitting for photographs or standing for that matter, but Juliet van Otteren manages somehow to make the process entertaining. Don't ask me how. Like most true magicians she hides her art."

"What strikes me is how unlike a boy I finally look! The man you captured has life lines on his face and hair that clearly favors 'salt' over 'pepper'. I have been 'boyish' for so long, my appearance as a man of middle-age, a playwright in mid-career, comes as something of a sobering shock. I like that my dark eyes are clear and focused, my hand firm. So thank you for your insightful work and for the impeccable print. I will see it as souvenir of this chapter of my life."

"Juliet's portrait of me embodies the qualities I aim at in my writing: it is very simple, very direct, and very honest. As a result it doesn't get in the way of its subject, but instead enables you to see that subject more clearly than you did before."
