A while back I was commissioned by Livv Housing to take some portraits for their magazine of Melanie Lewis, the CEO of Shakespeare North Playhouse.
The Shakespeare North Playhouse is a theatre, arts and cultural hub in Prescot. When we visited the building was close to completion and it was fascinating getting a preview, behind the scenes of the amazing space. And of course lovely to meet and have a chat with Melanie.
The 470-seater theatre Is not just hosting Shakespeare related events, the programme looks really diverse and I am off to see a showcase of 3 short plays written by young women from the region in September, which I am really looking forward to.
So it was great to see the Livving Magazine, Spring 2022 edition feature one of my photographs. And below are a few of other portraits from the shoot.

As 2024 comes to a close, it’s the perfect time to reflect on my year in the world of business and corporate photography. A few words and a load of my favourite images from the past 12 months.
A post showcasing a multi day, multi venue business event at The Crypt, The Anglican Cathedral and St George's Hall. Presentations, speakers, drinks reception and a formal gala dinner, it had the lot !
From glamorous red carpet photography opportunities to bold and eye-catching backdrops, professional media walls are essential to any major sponsored event or promotion.
"As a new business, it was very important to me to get the right publicity photographs for my marketing materials. When I met David, he listened carefully to what I was trying to achieve with my brand, and then produced fabulous photographs that were exactly what I needed. He was extremely professional throughout but also nice and friendly. Myself and my clients found it easy to relax with him, which was essential to create the right vibe for the shoot. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone."
