The Arena and Convention Centre Liverpool (ACC Liverpool) is a multipurpose events and convention venue located on the former Kings Dock here in Liverpool. Although one single entity, the ACC is split between the 11,000-seat Echo Arena and the BT Convention Centre. Both are superb venues and I've worked there extensively since it opened. The ACC Liverpool became even larger with the opening of Exhibition Centre Liverpool in 2015 which will be connected to the main complex via a sky bridge.
A couple of weeks back I was there again for the annual conference of the Royal College of Pediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) - so it was a very busy three days with many different experts and practitioners from across the NHS and health sector. The brief was excellent - the marketing team had thought through what was happening over the event and the sort of images they required. Not only for this event, but also to promote for future conferences. This combined with my knowledge and local experience of the venue and breakout rooms meant that they got a wide selection of images. We even found time to get some staff headshots done, in between activities.
A sample of my work is below. Please don't hesitate to get in touch for a quote, if you and your organisation are looking for a Liverpool conference photographer. I am professional, reliable, covered by public liability insurance and a member of the National Union of Journalists and more than happy to have a chat on the phone.

Another busy couple of weeks on commission with repeat and regular clients photographing conferences. This time multi-day events in Manchester and London. Including evening drinks receptions and President's Dinners.
Out and about on location for another busy day completing a commercial photography project. This time the end client was Adidas and as one of the main sponsors of the Manchester Marathon 2025, they needed coverage of their brand presence in and around the event.
In the last few months, my camera has captured the energy, elegance, and essence of numerous events, from corporate gatherings to public relations campaigns, each presenting its unique challenges and opportunities. Here’s a look at some of my recent projects and how I’ve approached capturing these moments through my lens.
"I have employed David many times over the years, principally as a music conference and high profile event photographer. He is always easy to work with, has a strong sense of what style is needed for each project and brings back results on deadline. He is skilled, experienced and understands visual language and lighting. Additionally, David often helps secure additional PR and media coverage."
