**★★★★★ — sjchen53, Aug. 2016**

> I would put 10 stars if it let me!!! I am a real estate agent.  Before I put my listings on the market, I always hire Tad to take pictures of the house for me. Those beautiful pictures look fabulous and really help my listings get sold very quickly. This listing was sold less than 12 hours after I put it on the market. Tad is the BEST!!!

**★★★★★ — LuxeMark Company, July 2015**

> I have been so pleased with the work Tad has done for us at LuxeMark Company.  It is hard to trust someone to memorialize in a 2 dimensional photo something that was designed for for the 3 dimensional world.  With Tad's background in design, he is able to see design elements other photographers might not notice and then makes sure they find their way into his final images.  I highly recommend him.

**★★★★★ — BuildEx, Feb. 2015**

> BuildEx just completed a major bathroom renovation in Governors Club, Chapel Hill, NC.  Tad was able to perfectly capture the details of the project in his photos.  The photos truly look like they are out of a magazine.  Not only are the pictures great, he was able to get me proofs the next day and final quality images a day or so later.  Great job Tad!

**★★★★★ — Jana Donohoe Designs, Jan. 2015**

> I am an Interior Design professional that was actively seeking to hire a photographer that could represent and showcase my work. As soon as I found Tad I knew he would represent me in the best possible way. He is professional, knowledgeable, easy to work with and detailed oriented. He has a keen eye for composition and architectural detailing. I plan on hiring him again for my next projects!

**★★★★★ — Teal Interior Design, June 2014**

> Tad was wonderful to work with and has a very keen eye for interior photography.  He offered many suggestions to get the most out of every photograph.  His attention to detail is wonderful.  Tad and I worked together for two straight days photographing 6 different job sites.  His photographs portrayed my work in the best manner, which will hopefully allow future clients to see my talents. Thanks to Tad for capturing the spirit of my design work.

**★★★★★ — Bardi Designs, March 2014**

> As an Interior Design professional I understand how important it is to represent yourself and your projects well. When I came across Tad's pictures online I knew he was exactly the photographer that I had been looking for! Tad has a "sixth sense" for interior design photography.  He understands architecture and interior design and because of this he was able to capture the full essence of my design. He is extremely professional, and puts the designer at ease. He was patient with me when I "fluffed" or moved things here and there. He also made great suggestions for lighting and camera angles in order to get the perfect shot. Tad is the whole package. His knowledge of photography and interior design will keep me coming back for future project photography. I highly recommend Tad for your next project!

**★★★★★ — Southern Studio Interior Design, Dec. 2013**

> We have had the pleasure of working with Tad on several projects with fantastic results! Tad works efficiently and creatively to capture the feel of an interior space. He is willing to collaborate on composition and details to achieve the unique goals of each shoot. Professional interior photography is challenging and Tad manages to make it happen beautifully!

**★★★★★ — marthcdn, Nov. 2013**

> Working with Tad is both fun and rewarding due to his skill in capturing the best scene and openness to discuss and collaborate on the best possible outcomes.  His responsiveness to requests regarding updates and emailing is superb.  I would recommend Tad to anyone in need of interior photography from overall rooms shots to getting the tiniest of details that make a huge statement.
> Thanks Tad!

**★★★★★ — raleighgirl, May 2013**

> I recently hired Tad to photograph my high end real estate listings and am very pleased with his work. Besides the superior quality photography, he has a great eye and attention to detail.  My clients were also very pleased with the quality of his photographs. He was professional, respectful and prompt.  I highly recommend Tad!

**★★★★★ — Roost Interior Design, April 2013**

> I loved working with Tad!  I only wish he lived closer so that I could use his services more!  The photos were extremely high quality and his prices were very reasonable!

**★★★★★ — Otrada Design LLC, Oct. 2012**

> I recently worked with Tad on photographing a custom home here in Raleigh, NC. Since we wanted to showcase the Interiors, we discussed lighting, angles, and what shots would photograph well. Tad is professional, dependable, honest, and a pleasure to work with. Rave reviews for his communication style and flexibility, too!

**Q: Lantern lights** *(in Photo Questions)*

All of the links for the light fixture over the island seem to show a slightly different one than pictured. I actually like the one pictured better as there is a more delicate bottom edge. Can anyone tell me the exact light shown?  I went to Otrada website where it says it is described but did not find it.  Thank you.
