Looking for a private commenting solution for member area
Something like this should work, but keep in mind there are lot's of ways to accomplish this. Without knowing your requirements, I'll assume you want an index page of assets, that link to an asset detail page. The detail page would show all comments and provide a form to add new comments.

On your assets index page (i.e. '/clientarea/lightbox'):

{% requireLogin %} 

{# show user profile information (if needed) #}
&lt;div class="user--info"&gt;
    {{ currentUser.firstName }} {{ currentUser.lasName }}
&lt;/div&gt;

{# loop through images in Assets field #}
&lt;h2&gt;Images&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div class="images"&gt;
    {% for image in currentUser.assetsFieldHandle %}
        &lt;div class="image--details"&gt;
            {# display image, title and link #}
            &lt;img src="{{ image.url}}" alt="{{ image.title }}"/&gt;&lt;br&gt;
            {{ image.title }}&lt;br&gt;
            &lt;a href="/clientarea/lightbox/media/{{ image.id }}"&gt;View image&lt;/a&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
    {% endfor %}
&lt;/div&gt;

{# repeat for videos, etc #}


In your asset detail page (i.e. 'clientarea/lightbox/media/123' ). Note: to get this uri, you can either create these folders in your templates folder (i.e. 'clientarea/lightbox/media/_entry.html'), or create a custom route.

{% requireLogin %}

{# fetch image #}
{% set imageId = craft.request.lastSegment %}
{% set image = craft.assets.id(imageId).first %}

{# check whether image exists, otherwise redirect 404 #}
{% if not image %}
    {% redirect 404 %}
{% endif %}

{# check whether they are authorized to view this asset #}
{% set authorized = false %}
{% set authorizedImages = craft.assets.relatedTo(currentUser) %}
{% for authorizedImage in authorizedImages %}
    {% if authorizedImage.id == image.id %}
        {% set authorized = true %}
    {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

{# if not authorized, redirect to 401 #}
{% if not authorized %}
    {% redirect 401 %}
{% endif %}

{# show user profile information (if needed) #}
&lt;div class="user--info"&gt;
    {{ currentUser.firstName }} {{ currentUser.lasName }}
&lt;/div&gt;

{# display image details #}
&lt;div class="image--details"&gt;
    {# display image and title #}
    &lt;img src="{{ image.url}}" alt="{{ image.title }}"/&gt;&lt;br&gt;
    {{ image.title }}
&lt;/div&gt;

{# fetch comments from the 'clientComments' section that are related to this image #}
&lt;ul class="image--comments"&gt;
    {% set comments = craft.entries.section('clientComments').relatedTo(image) %}
    {% for comment in comments %}
        &lt;li&gt;{{ comment.commentTextFieldHandle }}&lt;/li&gt;
    {% endfor %}
&lt;/ul&gt;

{# display a form to add a new comment #}
&lt;div class="commentform"&gt;
    &lt;form method="post" accept-charset="UTF-8"&gt;
        {{ getCsrfInput() }}
        &lt;input type="hidden" name="action" value="entries/saveEntry"&gt;
        {# reload the current page on successful form submission #}
        &lt;input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="{{ craft.request.path }}"&gt; 
        {# section id for 'clientComments' #}
        &lt;input type="hidden" name="sectionId" value="2"&gt; 
        &lt;input type="hidden" name="enabled" value="1"&gt;

        {# hidden field to save the image id #}
        &lt;input type="hidden" name="fields[commentAssetsFieldHandle]" value="{{ image.id }}"&gt;

        &lt;label for="comment"&gt;Comment&lt;/label&gt;
        &lt;textarea id="body" name="fields[commentTextFieldHandle]"&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;

        &lt;input type="submit" value="Add comment"&gt;
    &lt;/form&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;


You will likely also need to add some checks for the asset type, in order to determine how to display the asset. But you get the general idea.

You will also need to make sure that they have permission to create entries in the clientComments section (but not view or edit other peoples entries).

And if the image or video is displayed on more than one user's profile, then you will also need to factor in the author when searching for comments. Either that, or also add a related users field to the comments section, and then search for comments related to both image and currentUser.
