He is professional, timely and incredibly talented!! **★★★★★ — Suzanne Knowlton Designs, Aug. 2017** > Thank you, Brian for that stellar review. I want to say that I haven't found another photographer that breathes real life into a room. You know just what angle gives a room the life force and tells that story to the viewer. I hope we work together many times in the future, if I can get on your busy calendar! Much continued success. **★★★★ — HDR Remodeling Inc., Nov. 2016** > Brian has photographed several of our completed residential remodeling projects. He is a pleasure to work with and accommodating of our many special requests. Many of Brian's photographs are proudly displayed on our new website due to the high quality of his work. **★★★★★ — Tama Bell, Nov. 2016** > I use Brian exclusively to photograph my interior design projects. He is professional, reliable and extraordinarily talented. He has the ability to photograph interior and exterior shots which are artistic, eloquent and beautiful. Brian is a true artist! **★★★★★ — Design by Dean Construction, Aug. 2015** > We are General Contractors and had recently completed two remodel on the same street. I hired Brian to take pictures of both projects because both projects were most definitely worthy of a professional photographer. Brian was great to work with. He did exactly, actually more, than I expected! The finished photos are amazing and I could not be more pleased with the service, quality and price. He took his time to do the job right and I highly recommend Brian for your photography needs. **★★★★★ — Red Dot Studio, Nov. 2014** > Brian did an amazing job with our shoot. He was also super easy to work with. There was a shot which we had finished and then the sun broke through the clouds baking the light perfect. Brian had no problem doing the shot over with better light. Was my favorite of the set. **★★★★★ — apharis, Oct. 2014** > Brian has done all of my listing photography for the past several years. Work is superlative. Brian is professional - always on time; prepared; delivers photos as promised. Most importantly, he has a sensitivity and passion for photography. **★★★★★ — Brannan Cottage Inn, Oct. 2014** > Brian did an extensive marketing photo shoot for our recently renovated historic Inn and the images he created are spectacular. He's a dream to work with, possessing an artist's eye and low-key, wry manner. He works quickly and independently and is also an excellent collaborator, and many of his suggestions and ideas enhanced the final results. Our project had a tight turnaround which he handled easily. Brian was also very helpful in the post-processing phase to make sure we had the materials we needed. I'd work with him again any time I have the opportunity. Highest recommendation. **★★★★★ — pickles, Oct. 2014** > Working with Brian brings a confidence to the conclusion of a project. When it's time to shoot it, he finds the angles you didn't know existed. His light glows without being overpowering and looking 'lit'. He shoots swiftly but in a considered way and really gets the finest out of a subject. > > It can be easy to photograph huge, architecturally potent subjects yet Brian civilizes them and at the same time shoots small spaces so they feel special and draw you in to see more. > > Brian McCloud has the balance of great vision, reasonable prices and excellent results. ## Selected projects - [KITCHEN](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-pj-vj~424318) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 21 - Description: Kitchens - [DINING](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dining-pj-vj~6462434) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [CABIN FEVER](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cabin-fever-pj-vj~793259) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 20 - [FAA CERTIFIED DRONE WORK](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/faa-certified-drone-work-pj-vj~1436011) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - Description: Drone photography is an excellent way to do space planning for landscape and building.
