Testimonials & Customer Feedback

We have been fortunate at Melbourne Dance Photography to work with some of Melbourne's best dance schools and most accomplished dancers. We are always happy to hear client feedback, and we share some with you here.

"David's professional yet unobtrusive approach was greatly appreciated. He took the time to understand the style of photos we wanted and the results are outstanding. I've enjoyed the wonderful problem of having too many great pictures to choose from! I will continue to use Melbourne Dance Photography in the future and would recommend the same to other dance studios." — Dianne Harrison, Principal, Elancé Adult Ballet School
"The cd has been received with many thanks. Just wanted to let you know how very thankful I am that you were able to help out with the pictures for my portfolio. I have sent my portfolio off to a few ballet companies/schools overseas and the photos look really great attached to my folio. If I ever need some more shots done in the future I am hoping you would be able to help out again." — Bianca, ballet student
"Melbourne Dance Photography was great. David captured so many different looks and styles with edge and elegance. I've several shots from my shoot I use regularly for modelling and dance work as well as my own personal collection at home. I felt comfortable and was able to suggest ideas and concepts without hesitation. For dance, Melbourne Dance Photography is definitely my number one choice." — Emily, dancer, model & actress
"I have worked with David many times over the past few years, and would recommend him to any client. I have always found him professional and polite. Additionally, I am often surprised by the number of different looks I can take away from just one shoot with David. His photography is superb, and I am proud to use several of his images in my portfolio." — Soph, model
"David Barnes is a passionate photographer with a talent for capturing movement, light, space and emotion. His creative vision and passion ensure his captures are dynamic and emotive. David is professional, patient and full of creativity; always making the best use of light, space and subject. He has a unique eye for capturing the essence and beauty of dance and movement.

"He's wonderful to work with and we have no hesitation in recommending him for any dance photography - whether in a controlled studio environment or exhibition, stage performance or outdoor arena. His work is truly exquisite." — Beatriz, Latin dancer, Global Dance Company
"David Barnes was a pleasure to work with, he listened to my ideas and worked with me to create something special. He is willing to work on the image you are wanting to show to your audience. David was very professional and made sure I got exactly what I was looking for ... I needed photos that were professional but sexy, as a burlesque performer and model I needed something different that would stand out and catch the eye. Our shoot was such a success I now use all his photos for booking and promotion." — L'amour, burlesque dancer
"David helped us out with some promotional photos for our 'Blazin Hussies' act which was great. We got some fantastic shots for our website and promotional material, with some posing shots as well as some action pics. Greatly appreciated many thanks for your help!" — Tjoni, fire dancer, Eccentrix
