A few nice things people have said about me and my work…
As you may know, one of the best places on the internet for candid, honest information is Yelp. Please take a look at my Yelp profile to see what a few nice folks have said about working with me: http://www.yelp.com/biz/niall-david-photography-san-francisco. I’m also happy to present a few words past clients have written to me via emails, facebook posts, tweets and in person. All comments used as direct quotes with permission and approval from the commenter:
- “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
- “Niall is a very talented photographer and a really nice and patient guy! We had our family photo shoot at the Botanical Gardens in SF per his suggestion. I have to 2 little boys and an infant so the gardens was a perfect spot for my boys to run around and be “boys”. Niall was very patient and understanding with our whole family dynamics throughout the session. He was very professional and relaxed. He gave excellent suggestions as to where to take pictures and the results were awesome. Niall has a great eye and I love his work/style. I’m looking forward to having his pictures displayed in our home.” ~ Grace K., Parent
- “I’m a graphic designer and also moonlight as an amateur photographer. My husband is a musician and also extremely gifted in every area of the arts, from photography to drawing. So you can imagine how picky we both are about photography, and Niall delivered. I wanted to get some family photos done (family being me, my husband and our extremely photogenic dog), and we went with Niall to Stern Grove on a beautiful fall day. We all liked Niall immediately – he was laid back but enthusiastic, professional but friendly, and had great ideas about poses and lighting and backdrops. He got lots of great shots, which isn’t always easy with a dog who wants to chase everything that moves. We’re super happy with how the shots turned out and would definitely use him again.” ~ Morgan M., Designer
- “We went to the botanical garden with Niall and had a great time. My kids did not want to stop posing. The pictures turned out great – we wanted to order almost all of them!” ~ Michelle D., Parent

- “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
