"I am always nervous about working with a new
photographer
. You never know how the personalities will mesh and (more importantly) just how the photos will turn out. I must say that I am thrilled with what we accomplished on our first foray together. You are very easy to work with and bring a lot of energy on site (even when mine was waning). Not only are there a lot of shots but they are really great quality! I love the Kitchen and Foyer shots but could not find a favorite shot as they are all so darn good."
"Dean Biriyni is a true artist. His eye for composition is excellent and his lighting, creative. I like to be hands-on when it comes to the photography of my work and he is so easy to work with and I always appreciate his prompt professional service at a good value.

"We have worked with Dean J. Birinyi on several projects over the past three years. Dean is a creative and professional photographer who meets our deadlines with great images. I look forward to working with Dean on our next shoot"

"I cannot recommend Dean Birinyi Photography highly enough. When working with animals, particularly cats, the challenges are numerous. From animals being frightened of new people and equipment, to lighting issues within our shelter, it takes a very skilled individual to take all this in and still produce high quality work. I was extremely impressed with not only the results that he produced, but also the level of compassion that was shown to the animals while they were being photograph.
Dean and his assistant took extreme care to get the cats and dogs acclimated to the new people, equipment and a new environment before attempting to do any photographing. The end product was beautiful pictures of animals, in a very relaxed state."

"Dean has completed several projects for us over the past couple of years. He has shot photos for our fundraising gala and auction, architectural photos of our building remodel, formal portraits, and action shots of our volunteers working on projects. In each of these situations and environments, Dean has taken beautiful photos that tell our story. It has been a great pleasure working with Dean and I look forward to future projects."
"Dean is fabulous and a pleasure to work with for many reasons. He is extremely professional and respectful of not only our business but our clients as well. He listens to what we are trying to capture and has great input. He understand that his work is a representation of our company and is an important aspect of our business. We always get excited to see the pictures he takes for us."
"Dean works really hard to put the client first. He understood that I had a vision and story to tell with the photos, but also that I have a client to please as well. I really appreciate his active collaboration."
"The photographs are fabulous! I love them. The bed shot is stunning. My absolute favorites in order are the dragonfly vignette with tree limb shadows and the burlap chair you just shot! You make our place look so magnificent. THANK YOU!
Can't wait to work with you again. You make the process so easy and fun."
"Once again, thank you for doing such an outstanding job photographing this planting! This was a historic event for both Palo Alto and Canopy, and thanks to you we'll have excellent images to refer to for years to come. You have such a talented eye!
Thank you.
