Like a lot of businesses the construction industry was hit hard with the pandemic. However the sector is showing signs of recovery. The latest Economic figures from the Government (a survey in August 2021) demonstrates that the industry is no longer contracting at the rate it was, and appears to be in recovery across the whole construction and engineering sector.
From a personal and anecdotal perspective, this definitely seems to be the case. A lot of my recent commissions have been as a Liverpool based construction photographer in Merseyside and on location across the North West. I've worked for both development companies and directly for manufacturers as their products are being installed on site.
So pulling on the boots and the PPE kit, here are a few examples of my photography out and about. First is for windows manufacturer Dakea, working at height to create a casestudy of a residental install, ready for their website and social media channels.
I offer high quality, high resolution images to construction companies - both large and small, including sub contractors, civil engineering consultants, architects and manufacturers. From initial site visits and groundworkings, to development progress documents, to final handover shoots with finished buildings and PR style group photographs with CEOs and VIPs.
Here are some more recent on location construction industry images taken in Merseyside. This time working for a manufacturer of protective boards, made from recycled hard plastic.
My photography work has been used for press releases, public relation releases, annual reports, brochures, promotional materials, trade magazines and of course on business websites.
I have also supplied images to visualisation companies who specialising in mixed media videos and CGI work.
Whether your project is constructing, renovating, or refurbishing, I've lots of on-site experience delivering images from a variety of construction projects. And factoring in my awareness of the dangers of shooting on development locations and the health and safety requirements I am your guy - give me a call on 07810 321 634 or email via david@djcdesign.co.uk
Some screen grabs to show how clients have used my images on their own site and via their social media accounts.
Finally DJC Design has developed and built quite a few websites for development and construction companies. From initial project scoping and branding designs through to maintenance and ongoing content production. Again if it is something you need help with, please get in touch.

A really interesting commission working with Livv Housing documenting a fire and rescue exercise in high-rise residential apartments in Kirkby. These are the people who will literally save your life!
Another Liverpool industrial photography commission under the belt and more hi-viz PPE added to the boot of the car. This time nice and local in the Old Swan, a couple of miles away from home. It was for the Lister Drive Greener Grid Park installation which is currently under construction.
Nice commission at the ACC Liverpool - Conference Venue on the waterfront. It is a venue I know very well, having worked at dozens of business events, conferences and exhibitions since it opened. It really does compete to be the UK's number one multipurpose arena and convention centre.
"I have employed David for conferences, presentations, social engagements, marketing materials, open days, portrait shots, official document signings amongst many others. David has always been amenable to our sometimes short notice and has delivered our photos in a quick time frame as agreed and sometimes much quicker depending on our needs. He has always been very helpful, he follows and delivers on the brief and is able to give additional value to jobs with minimal briefs. I am more than happy to recommend David and he will no doubt deliver the same quality he provides us."
