Hello, and welcome!
As one of Belfast & Northern Ireland's leading freelance professional photographers, I specialise in engaging corporate, commercial, industrial, headshot, architectural and editorial photography. I believe that photography should have a story to tell and something to say. My approach is to capture authentic and true-to-your-values photography that will leave a lasting impression.
Business, Corporate, Commercial & Industrial Photography | As an industrial & commercial professional photographer, I travel locally, nationally and internationally to provide my services to a diverse range of clients. I have photographed everything from component-level manufacturing to shipbuilding, and everything in between. When faced with vast sites or manufacturing environments with multiple production lines, it's important to focus on the key areas and not get lost in the vastness. My keen eye for shape, design, colour, light, and how best to combine these elements allows me to create impactful images that reinforce your message. An ever more important part of what I do is drone photography. Having gained the required CAA drone pilot license and being insured, I’ve flown everywhere from wide open spaces to right next door to Airports with the appropriate permissions.
Architectural photography | My goal is to capture the unique beauty and character of buildings and structures. I am passionate about showcasing the intricate details of each space, from the grandeur of sweeping exteriors to the intricacy of interior design. By combining my technical skills and artistic eye, I am able to produce stunning images that effectively convey the architectural vision and style of each project. I believe that great architecture is a testament to the creativity and vision of its designers, and I am dedicated to highlighting the unique qualities that make each structure truly exceptional.
Editorial Photography | Editorial Photography should tell a story and, in this case, tell your story in a meaningful and engaging way. Shooting editorial photography generally involves working with real people, in real environments. My ability to quickly build rapport with my subjects enables me to be a calming and relaxing influence, capturing the style of images required to bring your story to life. I have experience shooting images for magazine front covers, interior features, news articles, websites, and more.
Professional Headshot Photography | Your personal brand as an entrepreneur or leader is crucial to your success. A professional headshot plays a critical role in setting you apart from the noise. The photography you use on your website, brochures, and other corporate materials is the first thing potential clients see. Great headshots help to influence how others perceive you and your business, helping to build trust and support their decision to invest in your work. Whether it's for your website, LinkedIn profile, Facebook page, or any other social media platform, team headshots are a powerful way to demonstrate professionalism and readiness to assist clients or the public.

Testimonials
“I am very happy to have worked with David for a big Booking.com project in travel photography. The photos turned out fresh, natural, inviting, with David’s attention to detail and respect for project guidelines showing through. I look at thousands of photos every day and working with someone like David makes my job so much easier. He does not only rely on his great talent, but is also hard working and patient for that elusive photo that will stand out from the rest. He keeps his photography simple and he also has a unique view of the world that shows personal engagement with his subject and emotion. As a professional, David was easy going, accessible, eager to offer alternatives where needed, making our collaboration a pleasure. I definitely look forward to more successful projects with him in the future.”

“RES Ltd has been availing of David’s photography services for a number of years. David has provided photography for us in difficult locations primarily working with children and community groups. David’s patience and creative eye has produced a substantial collection of photographic material for us. David quickly understands the brief but also doesn’t miss out on the opportune photo that couldn’t have been predicted. He carries out his work with professionalism and can easily put people at ease to ensure that they are captured in as natural a way possible. I can’t recommend David enough.”

“Put me on a stage to speak in front of 500 people – no problem, i love it. But put me in front of a single camera to get a photo taken, and I go to pieces. I freeze up, get really self conscious, and become a different person. But not with David. His easy nature made the whole process straight forward and manageable; his professionalism meant that I knew exactly what to expect and his tricks of the trade left me without the double chins! All in all it felt like a really collaborative exercise: talking before hand so he really knew what I wanted, the sheer choice of shots that he gave me, and the follow up to make sure that I was completely happy with the end the result. I would definitely come back to him for more work in the future, and I would readily recommend him to others too.”
