About DJC Design

DJC Design is a small company, based in Liverpool, that delivers a big photographic service.

We specialise in the creative application of digital technology to deliver high quality commercial photographic services, including PR, editorial, and press calls, expertise with on location industrial, construction and architectural photography, and large scale event photography, such as conferences, exhibitions, music festivals and other live performances. 

Our approach is based on matching, if not exceeding, the photographic requirements of our clients, both creatively and technically. We achieve this by first thoroughly exploring and understanding each commission, establishing how images are to be used and how the resulting photographs can best convey key messages and meet marketing objectives.

DJC Design was established in Merseyside by David J Colbran in 2005. David is a photographer and web designer. Before moving to Liverpool, David worked part-time as a freelance photographer and was also the IT Manager at the University of London.

We also work with a small group of experts covering most elements of new media production and development. These include graphic designers, video and film-makers, web content and copy writers and internet technologists. Unfortunately due to increased workload, we no longer offer web development or support services to new customers.

But don't take our word for it .... check the testimonials

If you have a project that needs cost effective professionals, without paying a big agency fee, please get in touch.

While based in Merseyside, we cover the North-West and work across the UK.

David holds comprehensive Public and Products Liability insurance and Professional Indemnity insurance at £10M per claim and is a member of the National Union of Journalists (NUJ) and holds a full UK press card.
