His background as an installer gives him a unique eye for detail, and he consistently delivers beautiful, professional images. Working with him is always seamless, collaborative, and inspiring **★★★★★ — Mass Architect, LLC, Feb. 2025** > David was great. He was very responsive to my emails initially and was patient with setting up a time to shoot the place that worked for everyone. He asked what I was looking for and gave valuable input on the project. I would highly recommend and plan to use again in the future. **★★★★★ — Ryan Wagner, May 2022** > We partnered with David and Born Imagery on multiple projects. We used them for both photography and videography and were well pleased with the final results! > Owning a remodeling company and putting your heart and soul into your projects it takes a lot of faith and confidence to trust someone to capture that. Both with a camera and even more so with a testimonial video of your clients. Producing a video like that carries so much weight that it has to be right. David came through and I highly recommend him. > The amount of skill it takes to produce a well thought out successful video testimonial with clients is difficult to state. One needs a lot of different skill sets from an artistic eye, people skills, a professionalism to reel things in and stay on course as well a knowledge in tech and equipment. > Thank you David for always putting in the extra effort and for caring so much about the final product. **★★★★★ — Modern Renovations LLC, May 2022** > David was great to work with! since he worked in construction before he understood how to shoot finished projects and capture all the details. We are thrilled with the photos David provided to us. I will use him again for sure. **★★★★★ — HU-178003822, May 2022** > I am a builder and remodeler and have used Dave a several times for jobsite photographs and video projects. He’s friendly and communicative, and his experience as a builder in his past career are very valuable for jobsite photography. He has brought a lot of value to our business. Recommend highly. **★★★★★ — HU-378086858, May 2022** > Dave was brought in to photograph a recent kitchen remodel that we completed in Chestnut Hill, MA. He was prompt, courteous, communicated well, didn't rush us and was super creative. > > His final product was amazing, and we used it on our website, and for marketing purposes. Dave reminds me of the saying, "every job is a self-portrait or the person doing the work, so autograph your work in excellence!" > > Rob Robillard > ConconrdCarpenter.com **★★★★★ — Shelby Snyder, May 2022** > Fantastic process and outstanding photographs. My team renovated an expansive riverfront home that needed its moment of glory and a photo series that could convey the impactful transformation. Dave brought me along to experience his twilight shoot process, and it was incredibly insightful into his practice and fun! And the photo was absolutely breathtaking. We will definitely be using Dave in the future for our project photos, specifically twilight shoots! **★★★★★ — Howell Custom Building Group, Feb. 2020** > We originally met Dave West when he had a remodeling company and we partnered on a project for our local Habitat for Humanity. Later, Dave transitioned to photography and we have hired him for both employee and company portraits, as well as to photograph a recently completed pool house we built. Dave is always pleasant, professional, and flexible. The poolhouse photos are beautiful -- good composition, color, both wide angle and close ups. Clearly his experience as a builder impacts his sensibility as an architectural photographer. **★★★★★ — Jason Vining, Feb. 2020** > Dave is a very knowledgeable photographer who provides a professional service and quality resonates in his work. I would highly recommend Born Imagery. **★★★★★ — GMT Home Designs Inc., Feb. 2020** > David did a great job photographing our project. He was easy to work with and his timeline to get the proofs and final photos to us was excellent. We definitely recommend Born Imagery! **★★★★★ — NS Builders, Feb. 2020** > I've worked with Dave on multiple projects now, with wild success. His willingness to work outside the box and be sure that we captured the home in just the right light made it fun. We stood out in the cold just to wait for the lighting to be perfect, and while I was likely no help, it was interesting to see and be a part of. **★★★★★ — Stillwater Building and Renovation, LLC, Feb. 2020** > Dave is extremely talented and very professional. He truly cares about what the client’s goals are for the photos and keeps them in mind throughout the process. A true pleasure to work with. ## Selected projects - [Award Winning Backyard Cottage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/award-winning-backyard-cottage-pj-vj~7699295) - Location: Somerville, MA - Photos: 29 - Description: This 640sf backyard cottage with finished basement needed a roof raise to add height and storage to the 2nd floor primary bedroom space.

The elimination of the wall between the kitchen and dining room opened up the space.

We have purchased the Elise tub and it will be placed along the accent wall just like this picture. Where can I find the white extension supporting the faucet hardware - and what is it called?
