Well, as we are almost ready to close the door on another year, I thought I would recap some of my favorite images, commissions, and techniques that I learned in 2016.
January kicked off with a commission for some interior photography for Liverpool John Moores University. They had just finished refurbishing some engineering labs and needed some quality images for their many publications. It went really well as the new spaces enjoyed lots of natural daylight and being brand new, it was clean and free from clutter, meaning we could start photographing straight away.
Also early in the year I worked with an existing client who runs an innovate club for golfers, allowing them discounts on green fees across the region. They needed a re-brand for their website, a new logo and an update of pages and backend member areas.
Return business is essential to most organisations, so it was great to get a call from Liverpool Electronics, to return to their factory on the Wirral to take more images of their products. Their business is centred around printed circuit boards, so I used macro lenses and various coloured lightboxes to capture a new range of items.
I always spend quite a bit of time working in the property sector - this year completed several commissions for Barratts, the house builders and quite a few for various construction product companies. A selection below.
Continued working with some leading PR agencies to secure fantastic, on time photos, which ensured some great coverage for their clients. All sorts of different businesses, from bars, to machine hire firms, charity work and trade unions - always really interesting and exciting ! For more public relations photography check my portfolio via the jump.
And of course, always busy with people photography, from head and shoulders images through to more CEO editorial work. I'm happy working in natural available light but usually have the mobile studio in the boot of the car. If you are looking for a top quality business portrait photographer in Liverpool check the portfolio.
Finally, covered a number of big business events and conferences - always great to work on longer projects with an event team. Personal highlight was a day spent outdoors with a paintball company.
Many thanks for looking - best wishes for 2017 !

It is great news that the Labour movement returns its yearly gathering to the city. A great boost to the hospitality sector for the city and reinforces its role as a leading conference and event host destination in the UK.
Africa Oye is done and dusted - wow what a great weekend. Saturday's music and line up was a killer. So coming up a few highlights of the artists and some ground views. Anyways, my favourite festival and a highlight of my year for sure.
I was back with the British Cardiovascular Society (BCS) at the Manchester Central Convention Complex taking conference photos and covering an evening gala dinner at Manchester Museum
"David is an amazing Liverpool based photographer. Not just in his professionalism and demeanour, but in his clear understanding of how to create the best images for clients. We worked together on a number of commercial projects and it was quality both in terms of content and prompt delivery of files every time. Absolutely no problem recommending him, he is a true pro at what he does !"
