I found Michael on Houzz, as I wanted to photograph a project in Chicago, where I didn’t know anyone. Michael was patient and gracious as we worked in a tiny space, and his photographs came out light, bright and clean. I have since had Michael photograph other projects in California for me, and I always appreciate his easy going manner, which helps tremendously when shooting multiple projects in one day. The most recent photo shoot helped place my work in an online publication, which is a testament to Michael’s talent.

Mike Kaskel is the best photographer I have ever worked with on our interior design projects. He's fun and professional. He has an undeniable eye for catching design and atmosphere. His staging ideas and form surpass all the other. Thanks for always making it a great experience!!!

Mike does an awesome job capturing the beauty of my projects and does so in a very fun and efficient way. He's terrific to work with, taking the drudgery and very long days out of the photo shoot process and making it much more manageable.

No one compares to the professionalism and experience that Mike Kaskel brings to photography. His eye for detail in staging a room, is a rare gift that sets his work apart from others. In the trade, we can easily tell if the builder or General Contractor used Kaskel Photo. His more subtle, but just as valuable, gift is his ease in working with customers in their home. Mike is friendly and approachable and makes the photo shoot experience pleasant and comfortable; and his resulting product always 'blow us away'. We will only use Kaskel Photo.

I wish there was a 6th star because Mike deserves it! I work in real estate and have told all of my co-workers they NEED to use Mike. Mike costs more than the average photographer, but he is worth every penny. Not to mention, Mike is great to work worth! I had to change the time of our photos fours times and he was very flexible and understanding. Mike also went above and beyond when it came to editing the photos. He made sure to remove the house sign and edit the sky. After seeing the picture Mike can produce, I will never go back to another photographer. Two thumbs way up!

Mike Kaskel was fantastic. He truly cares about the project he shoots. Every detail is considered from the scout visit to the actual photo shoot. He provided flowers and fruits that added to each shot. The photos are crystal clear and bright. We have used his services for (2) separate projects already and will return when we have another project!

Our Design-Build remodeling company uses Mike Kaskel for photography of our projects for our houzz and web site portfolios, design competitions and showroom slide shows. He is professional, efficient, pleasant, energetic and takes wonderful shots with minimal fuss and time. We are already planning our next photo session with him and recommend you give him a try.

Mike Kaskel is a great photographer ! He excels at architectural interiors and is just a joy to work with. He has a really good eye for the "money" shots that capture the best of our interiors. His sense of composition is artistic and unique and his styling is remarkably simple but attractive. And to top it off, the value he offers is very cost effective. Try him out - you won't be disappointed.

Kaskel Photography has recently photographed interior design projects for The Dion Group and has done a consistently excellent job. Mike's attention to detail, along with his professional insights on to how to showcase interior spaces is unparalleled. He is timely, respectful of clients and their homes, and charges reasonable fees for doing so. We've looked for years and tried numerous photographers, and Mike Kaskel is truly a pleasure to work with, and we highly recommend him.
