2 people have recommended Tamara

"Tamara Lee is a very talented photographer who is dedicated to her craft and was a great asset to

DOWNTOWN Magazine. As the Creative Director at DOWNTOWN Magazine I counted on her talent for

both online and print stories. I knew when I saw her photographs from Occupy Wall Street that Tamara is a

very talented photo journalist and is able to capture a moment with all the intensity and beauty of her subject.

After that I made sure we assigned as many stories for her to shoot as possible. Tamara also made an effort to

fill our stock photography data base. Taking pictures on her own time including when our offices were closed

for Sandy. I would highly recommend Tamara not only for her talent but also for her hard work and

dedication to the Magazine."

Mia Macfarlane, was Tamara's client

"Tamara is extremely professional, poised with ideas and solutions for all sorts of projects. Though she was

hired on the basis of her strong music photography, she proved herself time and time again by being proactive

with a marketing perspective she may have discovered while we worked together - assisting the team with

branding strategies, cleverly applying her knowledge of design and images and creatively building

presentations and other marketing materials. Talents aside, Tamara possesses a positive attitude, likability and

she is determined to deliver beyond expectations."
