"Working with Tom Strand makes everyone on the team succeed. He has the gift to deliver in any situation and produces great images. Tom does his homework and is prepared at the shoot. He’s not only creative, but he's collaborative, dependable, flexible, easy to work with, and technically sound. He doesn’t get flustered under pressure, and is great with people. He’s worked with some very challenging people over the years".

"A true creative partner, problem-solver, and versatile photographer / videographer. We've work together on a wide range of projects, under a range of circumstances, and he's able to create high-end images with consistent quality and goes beyond expectations. His image style is unique, especially capturing stories and people photography, but is malleable and can adjust to the needs of the project, client, and scope parameters. Most importantly, he's experienced in working with people, both in front of and behind the lens".
