I look forward to using Dennis for future projects of my design work. **★★★★★ — Leslie Ann Interior Design, Sept. 2017** > Love working with Dennis! He really captures my design in my client's spaces! He is truly talented and very professional. **★★★★★ — Alisa Ruiz-Johnson, Dec. 2016** > Dennis is very professional and his work is outstanding. When we need pictures for our listings, he is the first person we call. We are lucky to have him as a partner providing us with high quality pictures for every property we sell. **★★★★★ — Cara Kuroda Design, Nov. 2016** > My design firm has hired Dennis to photograph multiple projects. He is incredibly talented. He is professional, patient and has a great photographic eye. **★★★★★ — Susan Michal, Nov. 2016** > There is only one photographer that I use in my Real Estate business and that is Dennis Mayer. He captures the best view and/or angle of each room which translates to perfect photos and a beautiful virtual tour. I highly recommend Dennis and will continue to use him as long as I am a Realtor! **★★★★★ — CH x TLD - cleverhomes x tobylongdesign, Nov. 2016** > Dennis has done a great job shooting a number of our projects. He provides a wonderful balance of cost and quality, and the photos really showcase our work. Thanks Dennis! **★★★★★ — Donna Damelio, Nov. 2016** > I have worked exclusively with Dennis for many years to photograph my home listings in the Bay Area. Online photos create the buyers' first impression of a home and Dennis is skilled at enhancing the details of a home to immediately capture the consumer's interest. Especially effective is his use of aerial photography to display a home view within its surroundings. In addition, the quality of his photography is outstanding for brochures. He's a true professional who is easily accessible from start to finish of each photographic project! **★★★★★ — The Kastrop Group, Inc. Architects, June 2016** > Dennis photographed a few of our projects and we have been pleased with the results. He achieves beautiful lighting and composition with each shot. He has a great eye for detail as well, highlighting unique bits and pieces of the project that set it apart from others, in addition to the more standard full-room shots. **★★★★★ — Deborah Hankins, Sept. 2015** > I love working with Dennis - I've been working with him for the last 3 years and he always delivers superior quality photos in a very quick time frame. He makes it very easy to get great photography of all my projects. **★★★★★ — Mary Ann Teixeira, REALTOR, June 2015** > As a realtor, I understand the importance of the 'first impression' when a buyer is searching for homes online. For that reason, Dennis is the only photographer that I hire, as he has the keenest since of how to make a room come to life. > > Dennis knows how to capture light, space, detail, and color in a way that I can always depend on him to deliver gorgeous visuals for my marketing. I have hired other photographers when there has been a conflict with his schedule, and I am usually disappointed. > > He photographs the property to create interest and features, yet maintains spatial integrity. I have had many open house visitors comment to me, ''this looks exactly as it does online, the room size was not exaggerated in the photos". As a professional, it is important that I am consistent with my marketing in its style, quality, and accuracy. For all of these reasons and more, I cannot make a high enough endorsement for Dennis. **★★★★ — sammy\_roc, Aug. 2014** > This house is a beautiful house I love the garden leas on top of the roof and the way they find there way down the posts **★★★★★ — BayWorks Construction, Inc., Dec. 2013** > We used Dennis Mayer to photograph pictures of homes and interior projects for our construction website. He is very professional and knowledgeable about the field of photography which is evidenced in his work. He has an extremely quick turnaround time from the time he takes the pictures to the time he provides them to you. He also provides you with a wide range of photos to choose from. The quality of his photos were spectacular. His unique approach to taking pictures with the use of light, angles, objects within the space and his eye for creativity, captured and highlighted the essence of each home/room. We are extremely happy with the end result and look forward to working with Dennis again as our business grows. We highly recommend Dennis for any of your photography projects. ## Selected projects - [Los Robles Mediterranean](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/los-robles-mediterranean-pj-vj~506253) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - [Robin Road](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/robin-road-pj-vj~105773) - Location: Hillsborough, CA - Photos: 18 - Description: Photographed for the Gilmartin Group A spectacular high-tech Mid Century Modern home located on two acres atop Robin Rd.
