Working with Tina is like being exposed to a nuclear reactor. She exudes a primordial energy that comes from the muse of her creativity. I was shooting so fast to keep up with her that I blew my strobe. Tina just kept going and we got the most amazing footage on video. Every shot was stunning and at the end of the session, Tina asked me to dance with her. Well, she ‘danced me’…. I felt as though I was teleporting! I used six images from the session to create a 5x12 foot sequence for the iconic Hotel Bel Air in Los Angeles. -- Norman Seeff

Charlotte J. ★★★★★

The energy in this print is insane—you can almost hear her laugh and see the sweat on the film, like the photographer barely kept up. The tonal range on the black-and-white is gorgeous, deep shadows with that raw studio flash bite. It's the kind of image that makes you stop scrolling every single ti

Sebastian J. ★★★★★

You can practically feel the room vibrate when you look at this print—her expression is pure raw power, and the details in the fabric and shadows are stunningly sharp. I’ve had it framed for two weeks and still catch myself staring at it daily.

Benjamin ★★★★★

The energy in this print is almost uncomfortable to look at—she’s mid-motion, and you can feel the photographer struggling to keep up. The black-and-white grain gives it a gritty, live-wire texture that makes my studio wall feel louder. It’s been up for a week and I still stop to stare.
