Green Family Of Stores - Springfield, IL
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 seem 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.

Farlow Reality - Quincy, IL
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.

Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital - Lincoln, IL
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.

Just want to tell you that you have inspired me AND how much that has traveled from person to person. . . i take lots of photos now and I post them on FB. No they are not of the caliber that you take but they are what I see and sometimes they don't look quite like what I want but I keep trying. Last night I went to a birthday party for a friend, at this party with a mutual friend. Her mother has cancer and it is terminal. Sherry told me that it really gets next to her, she feels depressed alot. When she gets to feeling down she gets on FB and looks at my photos, they make her feel better. She said she can't 'see' the good things but then she looks and I have caught them for her and it makes her stop and realize that life isn't all bad and that God has blessed us. Now to me that is quite a compliment. Makes me feel good.
you are a wonderful person and you encouraged me last summer, inspired me to keep trying- so i do...that encouragement has worked through me to take those photos and post them and they uplift Sherry when she is feeling down, helps her get through her tough spots....God is wonderful, look what he has done and how good it makes me and I am sure you feel. It is weird how the littlest things can go for miles and miles affecting so many folks and this is in a good way, we don't have enough of that in this ole world.  I just want to thank you, thank you bunches Todd!  
Hope your weekend is going great at Queeny Park and you are selling lots of your photos.
Take care and God bless!
Oh yeah, since you meet lots of folks and probably don't remember who or where or when.... 
I met you last summer at quincy at the Midsummer Art Faire
