“Tamara Lee is an enigma. Being a world traveler, studying equally the classics and modern.... she is in a league of her own. As a photographer, she can articulate and conceptualize a shoot and with her talent and finesse, she pulls off the impossible. I’ve had the privilege to sit for her a few times, and I’m always surprised how she can catch a look and mood from me, which I never knew I possessed. Aside from being incredibly disciplined with her approach to photography, she is quite warm, present, and honest during the shoot. In short, I’ve been very lucky to collaborate with Tamara, and plan to continue making magic! Thank You, Tamara!’
“Working with Tamara is a joy. She is a natural collaborator who co-creates with her subjects, bringing out new facets that weren't seen before. She has a great eye and knows how to get the best from her subjects. I enjoyed the process more than any other photoshoots I've done. I felt safe to express and go to courageous places, cause she's courageous in her willingness to go there with me. I have done both portraits and her cinematic style and have gotten a great response from both sets of pictures.”
“When shooting, Tamara is so low-key that it's like she's not there. But she's so intuitive, you can almost hear her listening to you think. The result is that she manages to capture you naked-- who you are in your thoughts, who you are in your dreams, who you are when you're preoccupied with a small chore, who you are when you're absorbed in a passion, who you are when there's no one else around.”

“Tamara Lee has an extraordinary vision that she strives to share with others. She’s ready to go the extra mile just to be able to reach the desired result in every project. From working with her, I can tell that she is very professional, kind, and creative. I enjoyed our past projects and look forward to what the future has to offer.”
“Had a wonderful time shooting with Tamara, she’s first class. We were on the same page and specific with concept... she was even able to capture some powerful moments in test lighting! Set was an easy and comfortable space. Highly recommend 10/10 looking forward to the next shoot with you.”
