I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed another one of your workshops! Learned a great deal of new information and am anxiously awaiting the opportunity to participate in another one. I was able to capture more great images under your guidance and tutoring and I thank you for the wonderful opportunity to photograph with great models and with other photographers in the professional environment of your studio.
Sincerely,

David Birdsongs workshops are alot of fun! The workshops are kept small which gives everyone a chance to get their shots in. David is laid back, he explains the lighting he is setting up and how it affects your shot and is always asking if you have any questions about what he is doing. He remains accessable after the shoot for critiques of your emailed photos. That is very helpful!

David! Thank you so much for letting me be the model for your dramatic sports workshop! It was a blast working with you and the other photographers. I was so comfortable in front of everyone thanks to you and you are so easy to work with. There’s always something fun to try, especially when there’s water involved! Can’t wait until I can be part of the next workshop!

I had the opportunity to work with David recently when he was in Southern California. After seeing his portfolio I knew I was going to get some awesome images, but I could have never expected what I got! David was very warm and friendly and allowed me to use my creative ideas in junction with his own to produce one of my best pictures yet! I look forward to working with him again in the future, even if it means flying out to Pontiac, Michigan!

"I modeled for Dave Birdsong in October 2009 and he is by far the most talented photographer I have ever worked with. He understood my experience level and made me feel extremely comfortable throughout the shoot. He was very patient and gave me free reign on what I wanted to get out of the photos. Working with him was a very enjoyable experience and he is a super sweet guy! There is not a single bad things I could say about this man...he knows what looks good and he intends to bring the best out of anyone he works with. I hope we continue to work together because he is someone I can fully trust with any of my modeling needs. Fantastic photographer!"
