NUJ Photographer in Liverpool, Merseyside, working across the North West

NUJ Member in Merseyside - experienced pro photographer

I have been a member of the NUJ - The National Union of Journalists - since 2010 and hold a current UK Press Card. I am based in Wavertree, central Liverpool and work across Merseyside, Greater Manchester and the North West of England. But of course I can, and have done in the past, worked further afield. Indeed with the improved train times to London, I can cover events in the capital easily.

I hold comprehensive professional indemnity & public liability insurance. So we are both covered if a visitor trips on my camera bag, or some other accident !

Of course, I have loads of experience working with trade unions, including the RMT, Unison and Unite, as well as with the TUC on a visit to Liverpool. Also been employed many times during party conference season, at political, campaigning and fringe events all across the city.

Including the Labour Party Conference at the ACC and Exhibition Centre in Liverpool for PLMR Communications

And I have also worked with Royal visits to Merseyside and Manchester and at the G7 Summit in Liverpool for the Australian Government.

I am listed here on the NUJ Freelance Directory as a North West freelance photographer. So obviously if you something coming up, that needs a card carrying professional, get in touch.
