Reviews from Google:

“Todd has shot the most amazing photographs that our firm has ever used for marketing. His set-ups are imaginative, technically perfect and really help us stand out from what other law firms are doing. And maybe most importantly, he's easy to work with and he works hard and gets the shots back to us quickly to be used in brochures and for our website.”

“Todd is an amazing and professional photographer! He was responsive, attentive and flexible. I did not have much creative direction to give since it was my first product shoot, but he was able to take shots that added life to the product. The edited photos were even better! I recommend Todd and plan to use his services again in the near future!”

“Todd not only delivered amazing product shots with immaculate attention to detail each time I have used him, he was easy to work with, a delight to get to know and a genuinely awesome human being. He also made things super do-able, convenient and uncomplicated during covid. I highly recommend him to all and he will definitely be my go-to photographer.”

“I've known and worked with Todd for nearly 20 years. He's a rock star photographer and human being. He delivers the goods on every project with distinctive style, precise design aesthetic, understated professionalism and the invaluable ability to overdeliver – every damn time. Why? Because he cares. Todd is the rare perfectionist willing to take risks to "get it right" – professionally, personally and within his community. If you're still wondering, he's just a helluva great guy.”

“Todd is an exceptional creative. He helped our company (a new museum) think through ideas as we were founding, then delivered beautiful video, photography and print work. He was efficient, communicative and clear. It was a pleasure working with Todd and we look forward to doing more work with him.”

“I run a public relations company in St. Petersburg, Florida. Todd's keen sense of space and light always produces the best quality portaits for my clients. He's always my go to photographer!”

“Not only does Todd take A+ photos, he is better than any other photographer we have worked with at being fed your ideas and coming up with solutions using his expertise to give the images and feel you are trying to get across in your photography. This means you save tons of time which in this business is money. Also, it means you can give him your stuff to shoot and leave it to him and he will come back with shots like you envisioned. My best product listings all use his white background shots, edited shots, and lifestyle shots.”

“We hired Todd Bates to shoot professional photos of our employees and office and were VERY pleased with his work. He was extremely professional and prompt, and he produced a very high-quality product. We highly recommend Todd and would definitely use him again for any future photography projects.”
