His work product far exceeds anything we have received before in this area and I would give him my highest recommendation; Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, High Integrity."

“I have had the distinct pleasure of working with Paul for the past several years. He is the best photographer we have worked with and continue to work with regularly. His vision and the final product are always first-class. I would highly recommend his photography services.”

ERIC OBERMAN

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR / ATLANTA TIPOFF CLUB / NAISMITH

“I am fortunate to have worked with Paul for more than a decade and his work continues to be among the best I’ve ever seen. He has a keen eye for photography, and knows what images to capture, without being told or directed or guided. He just knows what the end product should look like. He is professional, honest and determined to produce the highest quality photography.”

SCOTT KELBY

PRESIDENT & CEO / KELBY MEDIA GROUP

"Besides being a first-class pro-sports shooter, Paul is an consummate professional, and handles his work with the seriousness you’d hope for, and a style and humor that inspires those around him. There are a lot of people shooting pro sports these days, but not a lot of real pros doing the shooting, but Paul is the real deal, with a depth and breath of experience that puts him among the best."

HARRISON MCCLARY

FORMER - DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY / ATHLON SPORTS

"“Paul is one of the best photographers I have worked with. When I was Director of Photography for Athlon Sports, I worked with many photographers across the USA, and there were few photographers who I considered indispensable. Photographers I knew, no matter the shoot, they always delivered. Paul was at the top of that list.

“He is, easily, one of the very best sports photographers there is. When I sent him to a game, I always knew he would return with the best images. I never doubted he would deliver. In addition to being an excellent sports action shooter, he is a wonderful portrait photographer. His attention to detail, command of light, posing and styling is excellent. He delivered some of the best shoots for covers we did at Athlon, during my time there. He is an amazingly well rounded photographer, one who knows the craft and has the knowledge and ability to apply that knowledge to any situation he comes across.”"

KURT TAUSCHE

CREATIVE DIRECTOR / TAUSCHE, INC

"Shortly after beginning work with the Macon Knights arena football team, I began noticing some incredible game action photography. I soon learned it was Paul’s. His background in graphic design and architecture helped him develop a remarkable sense of composition and his humility and passion to learn fueled his dramatic rise. Paul & I collaborated on many projects for the Knights, winning many awards. He had no equal in the entire league so it was no surprise that he advanced to the majors. Now, after positions in the NFL (Tampa Bay) and MLB (Atlanta Braves), shots for the top wire services and in national magazines, and a few major awards, he’s available to everyone. And I’ll be first in line."

“Paul is in every sense of the word, a true professional. Not only does he have incredible technical skills, he has an artistic eye that sets his work apart from others. He captures the energy of any live action situation beautifully and accurately. His set up/staged shots are immaculate. Paul has a deep understanding of lighting and how to best represent the subject he’s shooting and to top it all off, he’s a great human being!”

TOM SZUBKA

FORMER - DIRECTOR OF TEAM SERVICES / TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (NFL)

"Working with Paul during his time with the Buccaneers was a pleasure. Paul’s photography skills are excellent, as you can see for yourself, however it should be noted that he is a professional in every sense of the word. I find Paul to be humble, sincere, responsive, and very patient with his work and subjects. It is refreshing not to have to deal with an “ego” when you work with Paul, making the creative process more enjoyable and effective."

SCOTT BURGIN

FORMER - DIRECTOR OF IT & WEB / TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (NFL)

"I had the pleasure of working with Paul on several projects while both of us were with the Buccaneers. Paul has a very unique and diverse skill set and is very talented. His photography skills are top-notch and he is extremely dedicated. Thanks to Paul, the Bucs now have protected digital assets that are organized very efficiently. On a personal note, Paul is great guy and friend."

STACY NUSBAUM WOODS

"I worked closely with Paul on the creation of the Buccaneers online photo archive as well as setting up the workflow for moving all of the 2007-8 Bucs season imagery from field to website. Paul was extremely thorough, professional and a pleasure to work with. He wore many hats in his role as photographer and archivist, and he wore them all well."

PATTY EWY

MARKETING COORDINATOR / PERSONA, INC. - FOR MCDONALDS

"Working with Paul Abell (Abell Images) was an unexpected treat for me. I needed a photographer for a project with a fast turnaround, but I didn’t know any photographers in the area. A quick Google search led me to the Abell Images site, and within minutes, I was on the phone with Paul to talk about my project needs. Persona is the sign maker for McDonalds and is recognized as one of the top five sign companies in the US. Our expectations on quality are second to none; Paul delivered on all fronts, providing photos that were just what we needed, in a timely, professional manner. He offered his advice but definitely kept my needs at the forefront of the project. I recommend him and Abell Images highly!"

BRENT LARSON

"I worked with Paul on a daily basis for several months beginning in July 2007. Paul was extremely professional and great resource for us as we were undertaking the digital transfer of over 40,000 team photos for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Paul’s photography talent and expertise is definitely world class and all of us at Larsen Digital Services highly recommend Paul for photographic work. Paul is not only an extremely talented photographer – he is also a good guy and a pleasure to work with."

I look forward to working with Paul in the future."
