"I first had the opportunity to meet Tina for some Spirit Caravan photos she was asked to do, and witness her incredible patience as I rounded up the boys in the chaos after a great London gig.These were the pictures that we used one of for the back cover of The Last Embrace,Still my alltime favorite photo of that band.She has the magical knack for making her subjects comfortable and enthusiastic,and is now the only photographer i will use in Europe.She is simply the best.And..she can easily get me to smile!!"

"I like working with Tina because makes you feel normal and natural, she doesnt ask you to do stupid things with your body or hands or shit like that, she becomes almost invisible and makes you forget you are doing a photo shoot."
Rodrigo of Rodrigo y Gabriela
'The results we got out of Tina's work are fantastic!! the pics she took for us are creative and most importantly non pretentious. she is very talented young artist."
