Frank Meo is a true gem in this business and to know he will
be involved in all the production gives me the confidence to
use anyone he might recommended.

We recently worked with Frank Meo, thephotocloser.com
and Photographer Lori Grinker on a International Citibank
project. With a very tight schedule to produce 9 ads in 4
different countries, we were nervous about the execution.
Not only was it unbelievably fast and smooth, but the work
was absolutely beautiful! Lori worked as a team player
and made the shoot come to life. It was a treat, working
with Frank,Lori, and Crew!

If you know Frank, then you know he stands out. In my
experience working with this consummate professional,
time and time again, Frank uses his years of experience to
turn every situation, however tricky, into an opportunity.
Frank is able to quickly recognize the potential to achieve a
positive result, and has mastered the ability to teach others
how to do this..........

A few years ago, I went to see a talk given by Frank Meo, the Photo Closer. I don't recall the entire talk. But I do recall he spoke about working with a photographer who got awarded a large shoot that involved traveling worldwide to shoot what she shot best. It was her first such shoot I seem to recall. He spoke about the entire process from the early quotes and negotiations....

I reached out to Frank ("The Photo Closer") when I was referred to him by a friend. I was on a tight turn around for a competitive photo project and knew having a professional like Frank to help me submit a strong and winning estimate for the project was needed. Frank came through in record time and helped me land the largest project of my career to date. Having the help of an industry professional made all the difference....THANKS FRANK!

Frank is the consummate professional. His experience with the estimating process, as well as his engaging dialog with clients, has made my job much less stressful. With a seamless transition from concept to billing, Frank has worked to represent my photographic vision and increase my visual presence. I would highly recommend Frank Meo and The Photo Closer, from small project, to massive production, Frank's experience is matchless. Thank you Frank!

A few years ago, I went to see a talk given by Frank Meo, the Photo Closer. I don’t recall the entire talk. But I do recall he spoke about working with a photographer who got awarded a large shoot that involved traveling worldwide to shoot what she shot best. It was her first such shoot I seem to recall. He spoke about the entire process from the early quotes and negotiations to the production of the entire shoot. And the followup. I left the talk thinking that the unthinkable (getting a large shoot like that with an agency) might actually be thinkable. And I also left thinking it would be really fortunate to have a guy like that in my corner.
Cut to some time later when an agency contacted me (marketing does work the way we want from time to time!) about doing a large scope shoot in the style which I shoot in and was showing. Before working with Frank, I might have asked some questions, but maybe not all the relevant questions. So I asked Frank if he could do the quote for me and produce the shoot as well. I wanted to get to the locations, and do the shoot and work with the creatives to give them what they need for their client. I didn’t want to worry that the other stuff (kraft services, makeup artists, stylists etc ) which would be happening simultaneously.
So in short, Frank opened up an entire new world for me. One which, once I saw the entire process from start to finish, became a lot less intimidating. And now Frank is my my corner when I need him. And that has opened up an entire new world of possibilities for me and my business.

"If you know Frank, then you know he stands out. In my experience working with this consummate professional, time and time again, Frank uses his years of experience to turn every situation, however tricky, into an opportunity. Frank is able to quickly recognize the potential to achieve a positive result, and has mastered the ability to teach others how to do this. Let's face it, bidding a job, even to the seasoned professional is challenging, and Frank has a way of helping negotiate personality as well as the numbers, logistics and all that goes into nailing a bid and being awarded the job. Often, during an experience of dealing with a demanding client or prospective client, after conversing with Frank, I feel that I couldn't pay him enough for his prompt attention, his genuine engagement in my creative process and his insight. That being said, Frank's fees are one business expense that I am happy to budget for, as I always feel that I am getting way more than I actually paid for. Needless to say, I very highly recommend Frank Mayo and the photo closer. If you don't yet know Frank, I would strongly recommend seeking him out as a business ally, your expectations will most certainly be exceeded."
