David Max | Studio 326

David was amazing to work with. Before the shoot David and I were in contact to see what I was looking to get from my photos. Through out the whole process, David kept in contact with me to answer any questions I had about the shoot. When it came to the day of the shoot, David had everything set up before my arrival and made me feel very comfortable during my shoot. David gave great direction and made our shoot relaxed and fun. I would 100% work with David again and recommended him to my family and friends. Pictures are beautiful!

Everyone has heard the phrase «you get what you pay for.»
In this case it’s an unqualified and unprofessional photographer with the worst customer service I have ever encountered.
My company hired this photographer for our gala awards banquet because we though his rate was competitive based on the photos he uses to advertise his services on his website, which were decent.
I needed these photos for press and he knew that up-​front. I gave him a detailed list of when and where different portions of the event where happening. I sent him photo galleries of the event last year which was in the exact same space so he could be prepared for what was going to ensue.
He was late. He tried to argue with me that he was ontime based on «our original agreement» which is completely false.
He didn’t get the photos that we specifically asked for (winners on stage with our CEO) and when I complained he said that «I cannot photograph events that didn’t take place.» Isn’t it a photographer’s job to direct their subjects?
The photos looked like that of someone who just bought a DSLR camera for the first time and has never taken a photo class or worked with an external flash in their life. I cannot express how poor the quality of the composition was. 80% of the photos are completely unusable and the other 20% will require me to further edit on top of what he sent to me as «color corrected and edited.»
The icing on top of this is his manner of communication afterwards. He has no sense of customer service. He simply could not see that the entire thing was a disaster.
No, we didn’t «get what we paid for» I’m afraid we got way less.
NEVER hire this photographer. I can’t imagine if this was my wedding, I would have cried my eyes out.
