Information

General

I’m a photographer based out of San Francisco, California.

I spend my time rambling around a beautiful urban park photographing you and your kids or lighting you in your place of business for a beautiful portrait. I’ve made photos out of candlelight, pianos, songwriters and sheer will, captured rock stars under the beaming lights of the main stage in the awe of the moment, and lit delicate portraits of 1-week olds in their mother’s arms…

I love photographing families, families with children and babies, musicians, actors, creatives, business professionals, and everyday individuals looking for great photographs of themselves for a variety of purposes. I’m also active making images of landscapes and urban scenes, during the day and at night, and pride myself on specializing in ‘not specializing’ in any one genre of photography while remaining flexible and professional with a variety of clients.

I have worked for a number of folks in the Bay Area. References available upon request, or check in with the good people on Yelp.

You can contact me via email: info {at} nialldavid.com or via the contact page.

If you like my photos, please stop by my Facebook Page, become a fan and share some comments!

If you’re really interested in the day to day, you can follow my ramblings on Twitter.

You’ll never find me far from my iPhone and Instagram.

Experience

I’ve been making images with still photography cameras since I could hold one. Having honed my craft during the not so bygone era of film photography, and now faithfully shooting full frame 35mm digital, I can assure you that dedication to the passionate art of photographic image making is in full effect in your presence.

Essential to any photographers set of skills is consistent training and education. I am always out there learning, networking, trying new things and building upon the foundation 30+ years in the making.

Not that any of this really matters right? It’s the images you’re looking for that do. Please browse my portfolios and if you think I’m the right fit for your needs, send me a note and we’ll chat about what you’re looking for!

The short story – I wasn’t the one filling up my hard drive with copies of your records off of Mininova, and I wasn’t the one who “found Ansel’s secret stash” in order to attempt to make millions off of it, so please don’t use my photos without asking first. Outside the mystique of this website, I’m actually a pretty nice guy. If you’d like to use my images for publication, promotional materials, or to hang on your wall, send me an email and we’ll chat!
