Hi Lizz! If I click on your Self Portrait project I get an error notice so I thought I'd leave my comment here. I did manage to see a larger version of the thumbnail on your website and I very much like it. It's a very honest and personal portrait, as if someone else shot it and captured your moment of grief. Impressive. I also liked the diversity of your portfolio, especially the portraits (adult thumbsuckers serie!). I guess I have a thing for portraits (except for my own ha ha).

Not over keen on Germaine Greer, did she say whens shes going back, mind you not to keen on the judges either, I don't find anything martin parr,takes that interesting to be honest,can't see what get so excired about.I do however quite like your photography, lets see what program 2 brings out.

Well done Liz you beat a practically professional in the great Ed. Ed will land on his feet and take on board the advice given by the judges. But you should be so proud of yourself and you work shows your new found belief in yourself. It is ashame there has to be a loser, you both deserve to win. Good luck.

I'm over the moon that you got through and even better that two women got through to the final, I think the males were so ubber confident they didnt think they had anything to learn, whereas your yearning to learn more and take on fresh ideas, admit your vunerabilities and accept your mistakes has made you a bookable winner...well done

Hi , I'm finding it hard to get to grips with the images and the photographers on the show... I cant feel the input of the photographers...looking at the images its as though your not actually there... your not telling me a story of either your experience or the subjects... who are these folks...the brilliant kid...in his brand new never used gloves against he white white wall...doesnt smell of Hakney to me...etc...the ideas are good but they would benefit from being fleshed out with a shot of 'life' and belief. I look at your portrait and see desperate to impact... someone hungry to succeed ... some one driven with a desire...can we start to see that in you photography. Good Luck.

Well done on winning the show, I think your images were the most personal and got across the personality behind the camera the most, and also showed a true journey of what you learned and achieved throughout the competition. The judges chose the right winner, hurrah!

My favourite shot is you asleep on the floor with the TV behind. Perhaps not your most 'edgy' shot but I just love it as a self-portrait.

well done in the finals lizz!! you definately deserved the win, cant wait to go over and see the exhibition at the baltic! loved your last set, especially the ones you decided not to include in the end! they were definately the most emotionally charged ones, which i guess is why you decided not to include them, meh, catch 22 i guess. Anyway need to get on with my a-level photography coursework tch lol best of luck with everything

The crying shot evoked so many images, that raw distraught helpless feeling, for me this made you a worthy winner. Don't stop until you have conquered the whole world. Congratulations.

Delighted to have discovered your work - fresh and alive and feisty. And innocent of any socio-whatever pretension. My anxiety is whether you are naive or super-sophisticated - we will see! Thanks for the sheer gusto of it. Best wishes, A.

Hi My name is Mark and I study photography at college. I am currently beginning my photography exam and I have chosen portraiture as my brief. After watching Picture This and seeing your photographs of just peoples shoes it gave me inspiration to use this idea to capture individuals portraits. I was just wondering if there was anyone who inspired you to do this who I could research to help me develope my images Mark x
