- “Dear Socko, Please find my testimonial to be straight from my heart: A more fitting name for the modeling industry should be “The Look Industry”. The success of your look is determined by a purely subjective process. With this promising uncertainty and fierce competition, your pictures have to be high and tight. The industry professionals love my look, but they told me to see a new photographer and call them in the morning because my pictures were not marketable. Socko, from New York to Carolina, my new pictures are getting great reviews. These same professionals love the pictures you took of me; they have complimented your ability to capture a natural look. You gave me pictures that will help my career, THANK YOU! It is not just the pictures that I am grateful for; it was our interaction that gave me an invaluable lesson. You taught me how a shoot works and how to work the shoot. What a rewarding experience to work with a professional who has such a passion for his work. You are a top flight photographer who has the gift.” Dianne Webb/VIRGINIA BEACH, VA
- “We wanted to tell you that we loved working with you. You are very good at what you do, the look of the tennis shoes slung over her shoulder was a nice touch. Looking forward to working with you again. Lisa Katchmark/ROSEVILLE, MI
- “I have shot with other photographers who were not as professional and knowledgeable as Socko. HE IS THE PHOTOGRAPHER I have been searching for to help me through this process. Socko is someone who can help a beginner like myself, someone I can trust to give me helpful information and I know he will continue to point me in the right direction. Thank you, I appreciate that. Shakita Spalding/VIRGINIA BEACH, VA
- “Hi Socko, Its me Jenn! I just wanted to say on behalf of Michael Foster and myself we had an awesome experience with you and could not stop talking about the photo shoot all the way home. The makeup and hair were great and hope to work again with you and your crew in the near future. We realize now, at the end of the day, to be successful in this industry you need people who are genuine and honest. I was extremely impressed with your constructive criticism because without those tips Michael can now improve! He and I agree that for the first time we can see the light at the end of the tunnel for him because of your help and advice. At any rate, I'm getting mushy now, I hope you had a safe drive back home. Have a super day! and thanks again for everything! Jenn Karvul/DETROIT, MI

- “Hello Socko, I just wanted to say thank you for doing my comp cards last season. Since I relocated to Richmond in September I have been busy with the agency who referred me to you, Modelogic. Some of the more recent modeling jobs I have booked from your card: the principle in a Bon Secours Hospital commercial, extra for Busch Gardens commercial, print for Colonial Web and Peyton Horse Farms, runway for Saks Fifth Avenue, and a couple of other odd jobs. I am now attempting to make the jump to speaking commercials so I have taken a few acting workshops. I want to keep my comp cards current, so please keep me in your database for when you return to Richmond. Michele Garnett/CHESTERFIELD, VA

- "The reason for this letter is to show my appreciation towards you. The moment we first met my instincts told me that we would get along quite well. Socko you are quite a character! You are very talented and have a great personality! Now days it is very difficult to find a photographer that not only does a good job, but one who cares about the needs of a model. Socko you made me feel very comfortable and look confident in front of the camera. I thank you for that! The passion that you have towards photography shows a great deal through your work. Anyone would agree with me. I have shot with a number of photographers and I must say I was the most satisfied when I received your photos. I have never met a photographer who took the time, as you did, to help me with my portfolio. You took an interest in me and guided me into the right direction. The interest that you took with me has motivated me to continue my career with new energy!!! Socko your a great person and a great photographer and that is why I have recommended you to all my friends." Evelina Navarro/CHICAGO, IL

My comp cards have gotten me work in Chicago, Wisconsin and New York. Absolutely and simply fabulous! and kudos to your staff, who are always willing to help. Thank God for your eye on photography! Sylvia Christian/CHICAGO, IL
- “Socko, Just a quick note to thank you for sharing your time, patience and expertise with me for my test shoot in July. The entire experience was fantastic from your willingness to discuss my shoot with me beforehand, to the actual shoot itself, and to your down-to-earth and professional staff! I received my contact sheets with pure delight! I am so pleased with the shots! You were able to bring out a sensitive innocence in some shots, a bold confidence in certain shots and yet simple relaxation in other shots. You accomplished this, as if I was your first client of the day. You took the time , not only to choose my wardrobe, but to explain why you had made those choices. With my makeup, you accentuated my facial features and explained how I could re-create the same effects. I had a wedding after my shoot that day and I felt I didn't need to reapply my makeup because it was so natural. I received countless compliments on how flawless it was! THANKS! Being relatively new to the field of modeling, I was more than a bit concerned about giving the camera what it desired to ensure great shots. Your patient instruction, professional direction and affable demeanor set me at ease and the pictures show just that! I truly appreciate you giving so much of yourself as a person, not just a photographer. Keep a spot open for me on your calendar! I will definitely shoot again in the very near future! With a heart of gratitude. Carlyncia Peck/WASHINGTON, D.C.

- “I am writing to let you know how pleased I am upon receiving Eric’s comp cards/head shots resulting from a very pleasant and professional photo shoot. Not only did I appreciate the convenience of being able to have Eric’s material professionally photographed by you out-of-doors, but also his shots selected by your expert eye, arranged, cropped and produced all through ‘ONE’ source--SOCKO! Your assistance and professional advice has best showcased Eric to his agencies and to their clients. I am also extremely pleased by the quality and professionalism of the comp cards/head shots that express and represent all of Eric’s best qualities. The agencies love the photos as well. I have no doubt these will result in numerous auditions and bookings for Eric this year, as did his previous photos from you last year. Lorraine Ambriz/CHICAGO, IL
- “Socko, I wanted to write and tell you once again what a great comp card my son got out of your photo shoot.

My son loved the relaxed and fun way you do your work. Your whole staff is really great. Anytime I called with a question they were happy to help.

- “In an industry of many selfish and unappreciative people, or those just looking to take your money, Socko, you’re a breath of fresh air. You were the first to give me honest direction and input as I decided to return to the modeling industry. Although print will be new for me, I feel more confident that I am starting off right with fantastic photo’s and comps. We did it! WOW MAN, I am knocked down with the results! I have to be real. I was unnerved and scared about working with someone I did not know. There are so many photographers out there that put on a show, but their results are SH@T! Thank you bro, and your team, truly for everything. I am extremely happy with the results. I look forward to working with you in the future. Peace my friend! Shanne Soulier/MINNEAPOLIS, MN
- “Having disappointing experiences with photographers in the past, I’d lost all hope and considered this shoot nothing but a necessity for my career and I was dreading it. Socko changed my entire outlook on the process. Not only was he informative, but most importantly I discovered I was laughing, comfortable and enjoying my time. Then when I received the contact sheets, I couldn’t believe how many contrasting looks there were to choose from. Socko’s expertise has made me feel optimistic in the whole process of photo shoots. Thank goodness for his obvious passion in his work! Chelsey Mease/CHICAGO, IL

We appreciate you, we love you and will always be grateful and thankful to you for allowing us to meet you and experience the most talented, hospitable, OFF-THE-HOOK photographer in the whole wide world. SOCKO IS THE MAN. Talk to you soon and we will definitely stay in touch with progress reports. Lordez and Leah Odurokwarten/MATTESON, IL
- “I wanted to tell you that I really enjoyed meeting you and your assistant. I was very impressed with the relaxed, yet professional manner that you have when presenting and implementing a shoot. I look forward to the results, and appreciate your offer to help me. On a personal note, your open conversation and honesty was refreshing and I felt that I was talking with a friend, rather than someone I had just met. Thanks for taking the time. I don't get that opportunity very often and it meant a lot to me. Dan Teel/ELLWOOD CITY, PA

(photographer’s name not mentioned)Renee Wlas/LAKE IN THE HILLS, IL
- "Socko is at the pinnacle of professionalism. In an industry where there is an opportunity for some to take advantage of inexperienced models and parents of young girls, Socko shines with integrity. Socko doesn't sell dreams to newcomers, he pushes the newcomers up to capture them. An unassuming and friendly teacher, he makes everyone on the set welcome and comfortable. I will work with him again and again." Tracey Scott/TAMPA, FL
- "Hi Socko, after seeing the proofs of my son T.J., I was completely 'blown away' by the pictures. I knew you were good but I had no idea the talent you were blessed with and have worked so hard for. I bragged about you to everyone. They were brilliant and I will cherish these pictures, and memories they will preserve, of my son throughout the years! It was amazing how you were able to capture T.J. on film as he is in 'real life'. I thought you were wonderful and your assistant was so kind and helpful. You made the day so fun for the both of us. It was an honor having his pictures taken by you!" Sandi Michalski/NEW LENOX, IL
- “Kari really enjoyed working with Socko. He was very professional, gracious and understanding. We GREATLY appreciated that! During the photo shoot Socko made Kari feel very comfortable. Socko and his assistant worked with Kari to assure her hair and makeup looked flawless. He also took time to speak with the both of us about the shoot, our local market, as well as his production of comp cards, etc. The whole experience was very enjoyable! To top off a great experience, we just received the proofs yesterday and they are AWESOME! We’ll be contacting your office shortly to prepare the layout of comp cards and to order other photos, etc. Kari can’t wait to receive everything and begin contacting the agencies! Thank you for the great experience, for both Kari and myself!” Kathy Stapola/AUDUBON, PA

Thorough, astute, hardworking, customer-service-concious business owner. Socko what other words can I use to describe you, following our first encounter. You demonstrated all of these traits and more. During 8 year old, Morgan Denise’s photo shoot, in short you unquestionably exceeded our expectations! After the shoot while discussing the experience with Morgan Denise she said, ‘If I ever need to have my pictures taken again, I only want to go to Socko--NOBODY ELSE!.’ Your caring and sensitivity by you and your staff, are very much appreciated and will be long remembered. It will be our pleasure to do business again with you in the future! Eric Voth/HOUSTON, TX

I sent out my seven year old daughter’s comp cards on Friday, and by Monday I received a phone call from an agency, by Wednesday we had an agency willing to take her immediately on and another agency asking for an interview ASAP. The comp cards and portfolio turned out excellent and are proving to be just what the agencies are “looking” for --thanks to Socko and his staff. THANK YOU! Julie & Holly McNally/CHICAGO, IL

He made everything so easy which isn’t always the case with three boys ages 5 to 10. Socko's photographs exceeded our highest expectations. It was hard to select the photos for our comp card, since all the pictures were fabulous. Friends who saw the photos want to be photographed by SOCKO because he made everyone look so good. Socko is a gem in today's society. He is a talented professional who isn’t driven by self gain. Socko cares about his clients. Our experience with Socko was a positive experience for our whole family. Sue Norris/ VALPARAISO, IL

- “I have been meaning to send you a note about Mike’s pictures and I have already told you how happy I was with them--now I have to tell you the rest of the story. We sent out his comp cards and head shots to several agencies just to see the response and it was totally ‘OUT OF CONTROL’!!! Mikey has been getting about 1-4 calls a week for various auditions, bookings, etc. When we signed with the agencies they couldn’t get over Mike’s comp cards and headsets because they were going ‘GAGA!’. I figure it is always nice to have positive feedback, so here is yours from the Wilners. Thank you again. Dr. Susan Wilner/BUFFALO GROVE, IL
- “Socko, we have to thank you so much for the great shots of Britt. She never shot so well. We are confident that it is her card (all shot by you) that landed her the ‘American Girl’ job. We were so glad she had the opportunity to shoot this year with you again. The pictures are equally as good. Thanks again! (all shot by you)Michelle & Britt Johnson/HARTLAND, IL
- “Socko, just wanted to say thank you for another great shoot. Matthew, Michael and Marri all love working with you and this truly shows in all their photos. Thanks to your efforts, all of my children have had a successful year. Thanks again. Gragnani Family/CHICAGO, IL
- “Socko, our shoot and resulting pictures are TREMENDOUS!! They’re so natural, just what I ‘ve been trying to get and you captured it! I’m extremely critical of head shots because it is so hard to get one that looks as you do in person. We thoroughly enjoyed working with you and look forward to the next time. I will be keeping an eye on your site to see when you will be in town next. Thanks again! Anita Lewis/BRANDON, FL
- “We had a great experience with Socko. He made my son feel very comfortable at the shoot and I really appreciated that. This was his first experience, but De’Shawn said that definitely he would use his services again. The pictures turned out beautiful, and as his Mother, I am very pleased with the pictures. Thank you for everything. Renee Washington/GLENWOOD, IL
- “Dear Socko, I am writing to let you know how pleased I am with the looks you’ve captured of Rosalina - her true self. But more importantly I want to thank you for the advice you gave me about her look before the shoot. I have to admit that I was very skeptical about your advice to cut her hair - for the first time. I thought her extremely long and curly hair was an asset that shouldn't be disturbed. I reluctantly took your advice and asked the stylist to cut her hair just as you had instructed. The day she got her hair cut, I saw my baby girl turn into a beautiful 5-year-old model. I was so moved to see her looking even more beautiful that I even shed some tears. She had such a polished look and her curls look healthier and fuller just like you said. More than anything, brushing and styling her hair is such a breeze and pain free. Her look and our daily lives have improved because of your advice - thank you so much!! I look forward to seeing the comp cards you’re putting together and to photo shoots in the future. Rosalina’s baby sister can’t wait for you to shoot her. Adrianna Torres/CHICAGO, IL
- “Thank you so much for doing my comp cards--they turned out wonderful! You are so sweet and very talented! I wish you the best! Amber Boban/JOLIET, IL
- "Recently my daughter, Erika, had a photo shoot with Socko in Orlando, in which he came very highly recommended; so I made the four hour drive from Tallahassee for her to shoot with him.

You know I say I am cheap (as does everybody!), but that is the best money that I have ever spent! The pictures captured the kids so well! I have no inclination about using another photographer and we will be with you until you tell us to go away! We took your pictures of Rich to the Chicago Fashion Week auditions. Nineteen (19!!!) designers wanted to book him. Everyone loved your cards!!! He has also been invited to see Ford, Elite, and several others in Chicago. He now has several Chicago agents that want him for a contract and to do some work. We know your cards got him in the door. His show that he did for the History Channel is set to air on Sunday at 9:00 PM. Thanks again for all the hard work, the extra effort with the kids, and the wonderful job! Aimee Anderson/MORRISON, IL
- “Let's realize just how spontaneous and creative SOCKO has to be during a shoot. Think about it for a moment. He has no real control over what his models will be like, or exactly what clothing or accessories they will bring! He must work with what he has on the spot!!! And work he does--makeup, hair, clothing, locations, camera settings, and the model's mood just to mention a few tasks he must accomplish during a single shoot! Now, the average Joe would be exhausted after the first few shoots, right? Not SOCKO--Why? Because it's his passion. My young daughter was his final appointment on a long weekend visit to Detroit. SOCKO, like the ‘Energizer Bunny’, showed no signs of fatigue as he went about his many tasks of making it a fine and successful shoot as the sun was setting. Mind you, he still had to pack up, lock up and hit the road himself, but he stayed focused and on par with my daughter and me. HE'S SOCKO, NOT YOUR AVERAGE JOE!!! Nancy Twichell/HASLETT, MI

- “Our son Fernando has been modeling since he was nine months old. Now after being in the industry for over five years and viewing the work of many other photographers, SOCKO IS THE BEST! His expertise helped our son land the best jobs and we doubled our investment within his first year. Recently Fernando got his highest paying job (a national commercial) and was hired by the client direct after viewing his ‘iSOCKO.com’ comp card. We know when we work with Socko our son will not only get great photos, but we are confident that he will give us any pertinent information for development because of his expertise. This industry is tough and it is difficult to trust others in the modeling business, however he is genuine and THE BEST! Socko thank you for your assistance and advice, we truly appreciate it and will continue to work with you exclusively! (a national commercial)Juan & Trisha Calahorrano/CHICAGO, IL

You helped calm my nerves during the shoot and allowed me to have fun with the camera and I absolutely LOVE my pictures! Thank you for everything! Priscilla Grinnell/PHILADELPHIA, PA
- “Hello Socko, I just wanted to let you know how much WE LOVE THE COMPS, thanks for the great job! Georgia Casciato/DOWNERS GROVE, IL
- “Dear Socko, I wanted to take a minute to thank you for photographing Caitlin and putting her comp cards together. She really had a great time at the photo shoot. I have to admit that I had my doubts when it came to the photos you selected for the comp cards. I guess I now have a different image of my daughter, but Socko, you know this industry. Within a week and a half we have heard from three agencies that are interested in working with us and hopefully it is just the beginning.

Throughout this process you and your team always extended me the utmost courtesy when I called on several occasions with jumbled words and questions.

You are VERY comfortable to work with and I know that is one of the main reasons that it all went so well. I arrived with clammy palms and prayed that the foundation under my nose didn't sweat off. You were very down-to-earth, systematic and hardworking--not to mention humorous also! Furthermore, your assistant was friendly and casually talked with me as he helped me prepare for the camera. By the time my shoot was finished I knew I had wisely invested my time and money with the right PROFESSIONAL.

- “My daughter Jessica has been wanting to try to model now for a year. I finally decided to take the first steps by going to a recommended professional for comp cards and headshots. Our experience with Socko and his fabulous assistant (and his adorable little dog "London") was nothing short of wonderful. They were professional, courteous and it was an overall fun experience. Whether Jessica becomes a "working model" or not, the photos Socko shot are magnificent and I cannot wait to see the results. Thank you Socko and your assistant for such a great first experience. Happy Holidays!” Shelley Russell/AURORA, IL
- “Hi Socko, I just slowed down enough to check my e-mail. The final proofs are amazing. I look hot and you did an amazing job. Your pictures are fantastic and I look forward to telling every model I run into about the great work that you do. I also look forward to shooting with you again in the future. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for your great work because it is all so beautiful! Jerica Parker/CEDAR RAPIDS, IA
