Always nice to see my images in the press - in The Guardian and a publication called Opera News (which is a new one for me). These portraits were from a commission by the trade union Unite of at the time, prospective candidate Kim Johnson for the Liverpool Riverside constituency. She went on to get candidacy and won the 2019 December election.

"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."
