Are you looking for a photographer in Liverpool?

Well, you've arrived at the right place. My name is David and I've been a freelance commercial photographer in Liverpool since 2004. I undertake all sorts of commissions from business headshots, to commercial interiors to large scale industrial photography in factories.

Why use a professional photographer?

Simple - I believe good photography is good business.

Everyone always says at this point 'a good photograph is worth a thousand words'. And I'm going to say it again. In the age of social media, multiple channels of information and ever decreasing levels of impatience - you've got to grab people's attention pretty quickly. Whether it is a blog post like this, a You Tube promo or an advert - getting your story across is vital in an ever competing world and great photography is one way to do this.

Photography can be used in many different ways - promotional collateral, highlighting new services in trade magazines, to creating a eye-catching catalogue of products. You need a professional who can deliver high-quality finished images. They will work with you to establish an insight into your business and communicate trust and confidence as an organisation.

Great business photography will highlight how a business works. For example images from various stages of a manufacturing process, demonstrates an attention to detail and a behind the scenes glimpse that competitors might not show. People love a story and if you can get potential customers to buy in to what you do, that might give you the edge over others. Also a professional photographer can give an organisation that all important personal touch, with some team and people photographs.

Rather than just turning up at your workplace with a camera, I believe that good commercial photography must follow a process and I try and always work closely with a client to achieve that.
