Portrait on front cover of Livving Magazine
Published on Wed Aug 24, 2022 by David J Colbran
A while back I was commissioned by Livv Housing to take some portraits for their magazine of Melanie Lewis, the CEO of Shakespeare North Playhouse.
The Shakespeare North Playhouse is a theatre, arts and cultural hub in Prescot. When we visited the building was close to completion and it was fascinating getting a preview, behind the scenes of the amazing space. And of course lovely to meet and have a chat with Melanie.
The 470-seater theatre Is not just hosting Shakespeare related events, the programme looks really diverse and I am off to see a showcase of 3 short plays written by young women from the region in September, which I am really looking forward to.
So it was great to see the Livving Magazine, Spring 2022 edition feature one of my photographs. And below are a few of other portraits from the shoot.

"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."
