Testimonials

What people have said about our photography...

"In 2006 we asked Todd to help us decorate our Busch Stadium broadcast booth with unique fine art photographs. The project turned out great. We met and discussed the concept of unique views of the stadium and the FSN Midwest gameday experience. Todd captured hundreds of photos for us to work with and his digital "after effects" provided the perfect finishing touches to enhance the final prints. The group of framed prints worked together perfectly. They still hang in our Broadcast booth and we decided to get another set for our luxury suite. Thank you Todd."

When I first saw how Todd Shaak tells powerful stories with his photography, I knew he was the right photographer for the “Where in Logan County Gallery” at the brand new Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital. Todd was assigned to travel throughout the county capturing precious details that most of us would overlook, but yet are unique to our community’s cultural and historic fabric. Not only were the images technically amazing, but his selection of subjects was spot on with very little coaching of where to go and what to photograph!

Todd Shaak’s work stands out in a sea of wanna-be digital photographers. His work is much more than pretty pictures; it can evoke raw emotion of things gone wrong or moments passed by. That is true artistry!

If you are looking for images that speak to your organization and its mission, I highly recommend Todd for your next commission.

I first met Todd Shaak and admired his "Beautifully Decayed" work at Quincy's Midsummer Arts Faire. Because my employer, Farlow Realty, was in the process of designing and moving into a new office suite, I asked Todd to take photos of architectural details in Quincy to adorn our walls. It was a pleasure to work with Todd and he did an awesome job! We are thrilled with our personal & inspirational artwork that Todd captured in his unique style. With over 15 huge prints, we enjoy having our own "Todd Shaak Gallery!" We highly recommend that you consider Todd to highlight and showcase your city or event.

– Joyce Fairley, Farlow Realty

More art than craft were John Eberhardt's oil paintings on turkey feathers and Todd Shaak's framed photographs.

Shaak is a self-taught photographer and said he has something for everyone.

"I cater to a wide audience. I have everything from old abandoned cars, to flowers to scenes from St. Louis," he said.

A number of framed photographs were taken at an abandoned church in north St. Louis, including a close up of a piano keyboard. Someone had written "Jesus Lives" on the front of the keys.

"A 10-year-old saw this and said, 'Mom, this is the only thing I want for Christmas.' How many 10-year-olds want a piece of artwork instead of the latest gadget?" Shaak said.

"As a custom frame shop and fine art gallery, we do a lot of commercial work. Todd’s work brings such an emotive response from the clients who see it. We have sold a lot of his product to the residential consumer, but I have also placed a good deal of his work in commercial environments.

He takes extreme care to produce images that are not only intriguing and well constructed, but truly amazing, in that he does not rely on technological enhancements to sell the product."

– Nancy Harold, Art of the Matter

"Todd’s talents run deep. We have used his services on several occasions and will continue to call on Todd. When we asked Todd to design our restaurants logo, he suggested we update our menu with it. Todd re-designed our menu to coincide with our remodeling. In addition to the menus & logos, his range of photography has helped us decorate our restaurant. His fine art photographs not only add to the appearance of our restaurant, his photographs makes a connection to our customers."

– Luli Dulivi, Fazzi’s Restaurant

"I have called upon Todd several times for different projects. His ability as a graphic artist, he created our corporate logos. When we decided to update our menus, not only did he design our menu, he did the photography of our dishes for that menu. The photography of the dishes added that special touch our customers needed decided to make their food selection. Many thanks Todd."

– Ruben Sanchez, La Esperanza Restaurant/Los Caporales Restaurant

Some time ago, I asked Todd to furnish with us 50 or so fine art photographs of our local area to decorate our Volkswagen dealership. What a great addition his photographs made to our facility! The addition of these pictures really connected our store to the community that makes up our customer base. Since then, we have purchased other dealerships, and we have used Todd to provide those facilities with images from the community as well. The effect that Todd’s photographs add to our environment really seems to deepen the connection of our customer relationships. We have also called on him to photograph our facilities. Todd’s ability as a photographer and his vision stands out above the rest.
