HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! I would add all of my photos but I do not want to give away all of Steve's tricks!! What an amazing job, although, we probably drove him crazy because I required two shoots. I never realized how hard it is to get professional photos and consider all the components involved: the right clothes and contrast matter, in the right poses, the right head angles, using green screen or not. The whole process is quite an experience. Quite simply, executive photography is a true art and it is not easy, but Steve has an incredible amount of experience, patience, candor, calm and humor--plus he is located in a great area (Hyde Park), has a beautiful home & studio, with many ways to stage his studio for a variety of poses I never considered. And he is highly automated in the digital age which made the process easy to view my originals, select finals and then pay. Steve was exceptionally fast also with turning around the retouched photos-- which turned out amazing. Thanks Steve for the incredible service. I will be recommending you to everyone I know who require executive photos or other photography needs. read more

We met Steve as we were looking for a photographer for our wedding. I had talked with several others before meeting Steve, but did not feel they had our best interest in mind. After meeting Steve, we were very impressed. He was very organized and presented many different options for us to choose from, and we decided to hire him as our wedding photographer that day. I had another appointment set for the next day, but cancelled it. Steve knew exactly how to pose, where to take the best pictures and how to get the best look in every setting, as our wedding was outside and inside. He was great at capturing the moments that we could not see. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer for their wedding or other purposes. After everything was finished I ended up having Steve re-do my work picture. It was a great experience and he made sure everything ran smoothly. read more

Steve is great to work with. He's a great guy and very talented photographer. His studio is incredible with lots of high end equipment. I had an appointment for a professional photo after a long stressful full day of training at my new job. I looked okay in the morning but by the time I got to Steve's, I was a hot mess. I was exhausted, stressed, and in sweaty. He immediately put me at ease, helped me pose, took many shots and helped me choose the best shot. After a lot of thoughtful and incredible editing, he created an excellent final product which was sent to me within a couple of days. His editing skills makes the final work realistic and not overly edited to the point it's not authentic. He finds the best balance with capturing one's true qualities and refining them perfectly. I'd recommend him to anyone looking for a professional portrait. read more

When it comes to photography, Steve Poisall at The Gallery Studios has got to be my favorite wedding/portrait photographer. Steve has so much knowledge and experience that you won't get just a picture, you will get a photograph. A photograph that will stand the test of time. I love the classic look that Steve gets with his photographs. A bad photograph can't be made great in Photoshop, you need to start with a great photograph. Steve can also pull that natural expression that he wants out of his subject, which only come with experience and loving what one does. Lighting, vision, & personality makes a photographer great. If you are looking for these qualities in your photographer, then Steve Poisall at The Gallery Studios is the photographer for you. He is for me. read more

Steve and The Gallery Studios have been photographing my children for over 7 years since the day they were born. He is a wonderful photographer and I would not trust my family's most precious moments with anyone else. Additionally, Steve is involved with several local charities, including the one closest to my heart, High Risk Hope. Steve donated his time and equipment and photographed High Risk Hope's inaugural Tot Trot and did an amazing job as usual! With over 700 incredible photos to choose from, we had a difficult time narrowing them down to select our favorites to use for our website and marketing materials. Whether you need photos personally or professionally, selecting Steve as your photographer will ensure you receive the perfect shot every time. read more

As a young female professional, it was important to me to convey both confidence and approachability in my corporate headshot. Having sought out Steve for my professional headshot on recommendation from a friend, I'm happy to report that he deserved every bit of the glowing review that initially brought me in. The consummate professional, Steve incorporated my goals and preferences into his directions throughout the shoot. He was also extremely patient, allowing me several takes to ensure we got the right photo. The end result turned out fantastic, a true marker of Steve's ability to capture people in their best light. Will be sending everyone I know his way! read more

I am so grateful the business I work for uses Steve for headshots. His studio is comfortable and well-stocked. I had to schedule my photo session at the end of the day after an event and everything I could possibly need was there to touch-up my hair and remove facial shine. He worked with me on poses and listened to my feedback as well as provided his own expert advice. His touch-ups are beautifully done without making you look overly filtered. I cannot recommend him enough! I dread headshots, but I'll never dread another one as long as I know Steve is doing it! read more

My experience at The Gallery Studios was stellar ! Steve is a true expert who clearly is a very sophisticated photographer, but at the same time, he makes it a very easy going and pleasant experience for his customers. He helped me choose the best photo by giving good reasons (that I could not see myself) why he would choose one photo over another. He e-mails top quality images very quickly. He also offers revisions and responds to his e-mail within minutes. In summary, Steve gets my highest recommendation. You can not go wrong with The Gallery Studios ! read more

As soon as my hair changes, I am going right back for another session! I moved to Tampa from Atlanta and was glad to find The Gallery Studios. Steve gave me great advice and I also looked at examples on their site. It's just not practical for me to snap a photo with a phone or even my own DSLR and then put that on Linkedin and have it look good. I needed advice on what to wear, good direction to get the right look, and some retouching. I also liked the pace of my session. It was easy to get my head shot while socially distanced as well. read more

It had been a long, long time since my last professional photograph had been taken. The old photo was basically a daguerreotype. Thank you Steve for doing an excellent job with updating my online professional photo for my firm's website and for my LinkedIn account. He went to our office, set up his lights, cameras and computers, and then worked on a schedule so all the attorneys could get in an out efficiently. The digital photo selection process was easy, and the turnaround time for the final product was great. Well done! read more

My husband and I are thrilled with our son's wedding photo album that we purchased at The Gallery Studios. Steve Poisall was extremely helpful when we needed advice compiling the album and he gave a personal touch when assisting us. His variety of pictures captured the spirit of the day with a lovely collection of candid and formal photographs. He paid attention to details and was there for all of the special moments. I would highly recommend Steve and The Gallery Studio for any special occasion and would use him again. read more

Steve is such a great photographer. I was nervous about getting my headshot done since I'm not feeling at my best these days but the final results were amazing. He really brought out the best in me. The final shot is beautiful and just feels like the best, most professional version of myself. We've gone to Steve in the past for family photos and we've always been so thrilled with the results. I should have never worried about how the headshot would turn out. I can't recommend him enough. read more

Steve has photographed my daughters since they were little and they look forward to seeing him every year for our Christmas photos. This year we're going to add our new dog to the photo. He's great with the kids and I even had him take my headshot for work. A dear friend of mine had him photograph her wedding and I was amazed at her photographs. They were so beautiful and Steve really captured their love on their wedding day. I would highly recommend Steve and The Gallery Studios. read more

Steve's warm welcome at the start set the tone for a fantastic experience. My husband joined me for the photo session, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The studio was impressively clean and organized, with all the necessary amenities in the bathroom for a quick refresh. I highly recommend Steve; his professionalism shines through. The real estate photos turned out amazing, thanks to his skillful positioning and effortless photo-taking process. A big thank you for a job well done! read more

Steve Poisall is extremely professional and his work is excellent. He has been working with our MDA Chapter for the past three years. The variety of shots for our events and the different filters he uses makes his work unique and they are just beautiful. He really captures the feelings and excitement of our program! Thank you Steve for all of your help and we look forward to working with you in the years to come. read more

I needed a headshot for my physician residency application. I searched for a long time before picking The Gallery Studios. Even then, I didn't believe that the experience and final product would live up to the hype of the reviews. But I'm here to tell you they did! If you need any headshot, but especially one for ERAS like I did, invest in a beautiful, professional headshot with Steve! read more

Steve at the Gallery Studios is one of the most professional and talented photographers I have ever met. I recently had my company's photo shot at the studio. I am always camera shy. However, Steve made my experience one of the most relaxing ones ever. He also had so many professional techniques that can bring the best out of a person. Steve, YOU ROCK!!! read more

Just had my professional head shot done by Steve at The Gallery Studios. It was the most painless and professional photographic experience I've ever had (I hate having my photo taken).
