A few nice things people have said about me and my work…

“Niall has his own unique style. When you look at his photographs, you feel like you’re watching a movie. He manages to capture a world full of sights, sounds & movement in one click. Niall is armed with a sensitive approach, a great sense of composition and the ability to recognize the subtleties of color, texture, and lighting. It is a pleasure to work with him. He’s quick and reliable. He knows his subjects. He’s a pro.” ~ Ziva Hadar of Ziva

“With presence and authenticity, Niall David captures his subjects like the eye of someone in love.” & “Holy CRAP Niall!!! These are fantastic. You have beautifully captured a very special night for us. There is no way to thank you for that!” ~ Ash Scheiding of Kindness and Lies

“Niall has a knack for capturing those special moments. His balance of talent, creative expression, professionalism and positive attitude make him an absolute delight to work with. He’s our “go to” without a doubt.” ~ Dogman Joe, Artist and Founder of Bay Vibes

“Niall, these photographs are incredible.  I was completely breathless!  You could not have done a more perfect job of capturing the madness and beauty that goes into recording an album in the studio.  I am so incredibly grateful to you for capturing these moments in time for me.  We often get so caught up in the final product of a musical recording that we don’t take the time to appreciate the process, and thankfully, you have done a stunning job of freezing that in time.” ~ Debbie Neigher

“So. I had to refresh my page as I thought the pic hadn’t loaded. Then I realized its blur… Bluuuurrrrrr!  Kill me in the face, man. Amaze. angle, blur. Def a new fave and furthermore supports my factual theory that you, my friend, are one bad ass behind the camera.” ~ Leigh, San Francisco

“Holy sh*t. This set of photos just blew my mind.” ~ Kate, San Francisco

“Still trying to reclaim my jaw from the floor over these photos. Wow…thanks so much for hanging with us and all of the hard work you put into these.
