TESTIMONIALS

Adam Foster Jones recommends Li Gao Photography 10/29/2019 London, UK

I had the pleasure of working with Li for number of years. Li’s interpretation of my clothing company’s look was innovative and reflected the brand in a playful and imaginative style. Li is very professional and creative and brings a fresh and layered perspective to every project.

Gnieb Jin Trams recommends Li Gao Photography, 3/24/19 New York, NY

Li Gao is the most talented person in this field who I know of. I’ve seen many of her photography productions and her drawings.  She is thoroughly detailed and puts in the time for each piece. She won’t let you down or underwhelm you.

Amanda Eckart recommends Li Gao Photography. 12/18/18 Long Island, NY

I had the good fortune of working with Li Gao on two occasions for family photos and professional head shots. I was overjoyed with the experience as well as the results. She was patient, professional, and pleasant, and each of her photos have beautiful artistry. All the photographs had unique perspective and captured moments I will treasure always.

A wonderful photographer & a wonderful person! She has the best mix you’d want in a photographer: detail-oriented, artist, a great communicator. She truly listens to you and turns your vision into reality. Would highly recommend!

Moshe Liss recommends Li Gao Photography.  5/15/2018 New York, NY

Li Gao is a very innovative photographer. You will not regret using Li Gao Photography. That’s an understatement. Her style is very attentive and it’s downright cool.  It’s that simple.

Alex Van Atta, reviewed Li Gao Photography 5/5.  4/22/2018 Chicago, IL

This is my first time getting a "professional" photoshoot working directly with a photographer. Li was very professional and attentive to details. As a person who can read people very well, I can tell this photographer cares deeply about her client's satisfaction, and goes the extra mile to ensure that the photos come out to perfection, which makes me happy.

I appreciated the extra attention and didn't feel like I was just a number, rather i felt it was very personal, intimate, and customized just for me. I don't think I can ever go to Sears or anywhere else for a photoshoot ever again after my experience.

She's the best! Will definitely do business again.
