Dear Michael,

Website is fantastic, saw your ad in Backstage West. Looked at all your work, it's GREAT! I consider you a good friend.

YOU ARE ONE OF THE GREATS!

Regards,

Michael,

I must tell you again how appreciative I am to you. You’ve been so willing to work with me and help me out in every way. I don’t know many people who would go out of their way to satisfy a client the way you have. Thanks for everything you’ve done for me.

Thank you so much for sharing your artistry and enthusiasm. You exceeded my expectations and I am so happy with my new headshots. I am so appreciative for all of your help and advice. Thank you for taking the extra time getting to know me and using that knowledge to create such a wonderful experience. Thank you! Thank you! I could not have made a better decision.

Dear Michael,

I just picked up my proof sheets and the pictures turned out just great. The session itself was so much fun and creative and it certainly shows in the photos.

As a character actress I really needed someone to capture various characters and moods, and you certainly did this!

I would whole-heartedly recommend you to any actor who wants a positive, relaxing photo session, and some great head shots!

Thanks so much,

Bonnie Snyder

Hey Michael,

You’re such a talented man!

Thank you for the beautiful pictures. Your artistry plus sincere care has set my career in motion. I’ve recommended you too many and will continue to do so. You are a good man and now my dear friend. I love you and am grateful that we’ve met each other. May peace be ever present in your life, Michael.

Your friend,

Dear Michael,

Thanks for everything. You know when I first came to California, I didn’t know what to expect, but it’s through people like you and experience like ours that made all of this attainable. It’s been an absolute pleasure working and knowing you these past two months. Keep up the good work. The best wishes to you as an artist, and thanks to you as a friend.

Always

Dear Michael,

Thank you, thank you, and thank you! My pictures came out beautifully. I couldn’t be happier. My friends and family are amazed at how good I look! You’re a genius.

Dear Michael Papo,

Thank you so much for the wonderful experience of having my headshots taken. I wanted the best, and I got it. Your work is in a class of its own, capturing the very real and yet very unique personalities of your clients. And I’m happy to be included. Your professionalism and love for photography is surpassed only by the heart you have for your clients. You’re the best.

Very sincerely,

Jeffrey T. Spicer

Dear Michael Papo,

How do I begin to tell you thank you for all that you have done for me? I asked God to help me find a good person in this entertainment business and he gave me you. God managed to place me knocking at your door and you opened not only your door to me and Jaun Fernando, but your soul.

It’s amazing to find people like you in this world that we live in today. Michael you are so wonderful that I don’t believe you realize how special and wonderful you truly are. It’s rare to find a person that you connect with right away. When we first spoke on the phone I felt as if I had known you for a long time, even though we had not met.

You have so much energy and your spirit is filled with such love, that anyone who has the honor to meet you, can feel the strength that your aura transcends to them. I have a frame at work that contains a favorite passage that I strongly believe in and it says this:

POSSIBILITIES

…The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible.

I’m going beyond them Michael to know and discover the limits of the possible. I know deep in my heart that you will hold my hand and travel with me to the land of possibilities. Thank you for all your help, encouragement and faith in me.

Love always.

Fatima Mota Salas

Dear Michael,

It was nice to be able to write this letter to you because you are awesome; one of the better people in Hollywood and a lot more people need to know you and share your character. Until then, I wish you the best success. The good ones deserve success.

Until next time,

Sincerely,

Kariem Marbury

Michael,

Thank you for the great photos, your assistance, but most important for being you with deepest gratitude! Thank you for helping us get an agent too!

Well here they are finally, we are very proud of them and our agent was terribly impressed. Michael, you did a wonderful job sir! Between our agent, and your wonderful book, we are getting sent our regularly. Don’t forget to watch me on Will and Grace. I bragged to a girl I met how terrific you were to work with in addition to you being a marvelous photographer. As soon as we settle down, we want you to do headshots on our kid.

Michael,

I just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful headshots. In just one week I have had four auditions, including one for ER, which is more than I have had in the three months I have been here. I wish you the best of luck and thank you again.

Sincerely,

Dear Michael,

I am very happy with the way the pictures turned out and I have been getting many compliments on them. You will be happy to know that I already have an interview with Writers and Artists for possible representations next week. Once again, thank you for the wonderful job you have done. And when it is time to get new pictures, you name is at the top of the list.

Sincerely,
