"I first met Ken at a bodybuilding competition in NYC in September where he was judging and taking photos. I immediately realized that he was much more than a photographer-- he really cares about his subject, and does everything he can to help out. He is very generous with his time and the sound advice he offers. Thanks to Ken I already have 2 magazine spreads!"

Thank you for all the expertise and guidance that you shared with me throughout the course of my photoshoot with you in San Diego for EMO (Exercise for Men Only). As a model, I am still learning about the business of sports and print modeling and your wisdom and opinions have helped answer a lot of the questions that I had with the industry as well as shape the avenues that I have since pursued. I would like the opportunity to shoot with you again if it arose. You attention to detail and ability with keeping the model comfortable helped make it a fund and memorable experience for me. I look forward to seeing you soon.
Best Regards,

Thank you Ken for such a great shoot this weekend! You made me feel very comfortable as a guest in your home, and that same comfort level transitioned into the images. You were great at motivating and posing me as a model and the results show this very concept. Shooting with you was incredibly fun, and the steps you took to ensure everything was in place contributed to the success of the shoot. You treated me very professionally and gave me awesome advice as to
how I may improve both physically and professionally in my career as a model. You were a great guy to hang out with when we weren't shooting and to talk to about different subjects that came about in conversation. I would not hesitate to recommend you to other models as my weekend was incredibly smooth and the results hold promising for my future. I look forward to future projects with you and our continued success. Thank you Ken!
Sincerely,
Kevin Craig

Ken,
My shoot with you remains one of my best overall experiences. You seemed to take a personal interest in the process and treated me with the utmost respect. Your excitement (in particular with the last shots) left me with a sense that we had done something important.

I’ve been lucky enough to work with great people. I don’t mean to discredit any of those photographers. I’m grateful for all the opportunities that I’ve had. Still, many photospheres give the impression that you’re an inconvenience and/or barely human. I’ve been on shoots were I felt like a prop. Even worse, I’ve left shoots feeling like the experience did not matter to anyone involved.

Regardless of how the pictures turn out, I think that the process of creating them is a big part of making art. I think you’ve found a way to capture beautiful images in a way that makes people look and feel their best. To me – that makes you one of the best photographers out there.

"I always have to give credit to... Ken of Serg Studios for getting me my first fitness cover." (ohlalamag) "I also loved shooting with Ken Serg as he knows the perfect poses and angles to make your build look big and lean. You can clearly see years of experience and talent in these photographers..." (connex247)

"Hey Ken, I just had to drop a note to say that you're a very talented photographer, who also happens to be sincere and professional, which can be hard to come by! As you know I've done a lot of covers with a variety of photographers ranging from Men's Health and Maximum Fitness to others in between. So I genuinely mean it when I say that, to me you clearly possess
the right combination of skill and commitment to excel as a photographer. And your connections in the industry and coaching support have definitely helped models find success. You were able to get me a 3-page fold-out poster inside 'Exercise for Men Only' magazine, as well as personal
profile of me as a pilot and fitness model. Wow, the effort to make that happen on the active and highly secured ramp of a JetBlue flight at the San Diego airport with limited time counted in minutes was intense pressure. But your professionalism combined with skill and talent showed that not only were you incredibly prepared, but you knew how to work with everyone and
immediately captured some rare and spectacular shots. I'm honored to have shot with you, and to know you, and hope that we can shoot again."

Ken, thanks again for doing the personal shoot of me. I was honored that you agreed to it and genuinely impressed with the whole thing. From the start you treated me like I was one of the stars you regularly photograph. The time, direction and patience you gave me both in advance and during the shoot really made all the difference in creating pics that exceeded my expectations. Thank you Ken!
