About Liverpool Visuals

A Lifelong Passion for Liverpool – Your Story, Captured by a Local Expert.

My name is Daniel Potter, and Liverpool isn't just where my business is based - it's my home, and it's my passion. My love for photography began as a hobby in 2007, and while it has taken me to London, Prague, and Copenhagen, no skyline compares to our own. I am now building a professional portfolio dedicated to capturing the unique beauty of our city, from the iconic Three Graces to the vibrant life on the Mersey.

This deep local pride is at the heart of Liverpool Visuals. When you work with me, you're partnering with someone who is truly invested in our community - a value I also lived as a volunteer for the International Red Cross. I bring this commitment to every project, whether it's a wedding at a historic venue or marketing for a local business.

My service combines this passion with deep technical skill. With over a decade of experience in IT and field engineering, I bring a professional, problem-solving mindset to every shoot. As a fully CAA Certified and insured drone pilot, I can capture your story from every angle - from stunning aerial views to intimate ground-level moments - all with the highest standards of safety and reliability.

For a personal, dedicated service from a photographer who loves this city as much as you do, contact me at Liverpool Visuals for a friendly chat about your project.

My "For Your Life" services, including weddings and family events, are the heart of Liverpool Visuals and are born from a genuine, long-standing passion for photography.  
Weddings and Family Events: My journey into photography began not as a profession, but as a hobby in 2007, driven by a love for capturing dynamic moments, from aviation at Liverpool Airport to iconic landmarks across Europe. This 15-year journey has honed my eye for storytelling and my ability to find the beauty in both grand scenes and intimate details. When I photograph a wedding or a family milestone, I bring that same passion. For couples getting married in Liverpool, you are hiring a photographer who shares your love for the city and knows how to frame its iconic architecture as the perfect backdrop for your story.

My service is unique because it fuses this artistic passion with the calm, problem-solving mindset I developed over a 20-year career in technical support. A wedding day can be unpredictable, but my background ensures I can handle any challenge with a professional and reassuring demeanor. Furthermore, as a CAA Certified drone pilot, I can seamlessly blend the intimate, candid ground-level shots that capture the emotion of the day with breathtaking, cinematic aerial footage of your venue, offering a complete and unforgettable visual narrative that few others can provide.

My "For Your Company" services are built on a foundation of deep technical expertise and an understanding of professional requirements. Each service is delivered with the precision of an engineer and the creative flair of an experienced photographer.  
Property Listings and Marketing: This service is a perfect showcase of my hybrid skillset. My photographer's eye, developed through years of capturing landmarks, allows me to find the best light and composition to make a property’s interior feel welcoming and desirable. This is complemented by my ability to pilot a drone to capture stunning aerial shots that showcase the entire property, its grounds, and its location in a way that ground-level photography simply cannot. For estate agents and developers, this provides a complete, cohesive, and compelling marketing package from a single, reliable provider.  
Corporate Events and Publicity: Having spent over two decades in corporate environments, I understand the importance of professionalism, deadlines, and clear communication. When covering a corporate event, I bring not only the creative ability to capture the energy of the occasion but also the professional discipline to work unobtrusively and deliver assets that meet a specific marketing goal. You can trust that the person behind the camera understands the business context.  
Construction Monitoring and Roof Inspections: This is where my technical background is most prominent. My extensive experience as a field engineer, managing logistics and providing technical solutions, directly translates to the meticulous planning and execution required for industrial site work. As a CAA Certified operator, I conduct these tasks with a focus on safety, precision, and data accuracy. I approach a roof inspection not just as a photographer, but as a technician using a sophisticated tool to gather vital information. For construction and property management clients, this means you are hiring a professional who is as comfortable with risk assessments and technical specifications as he is with a camera.

Parallel to my technical career, I have nurtured a passion for photography that began in 2007. This creative journey, combined with my experience as a business owner and volunteer, shapes the personal and artistic side of Liverpool Visuals.

Entrepreneurial Spirit: From 2015 to 2020, I was the owner and lead IT Engineer for Gateacre Computers, where I was responsible for all aspects of the business, from hands-on technical repairs to managing finances and ensuring excellent customer service. This experience as a local business owner means I understand the importance of building trust, delivering value, and taking personal accountability for every client's satisfaction.  
Creative Vision: My photography is the result of over 15 years of practice, from the technical challenge of capturing aviation at Liverpool and Manchester airports to the artistic pursuit of documenting landmarks across the UK and Europe. This passion is now focused on my home city of Liverpool, where I am dedicated to telling the stories of its people, businesses, and iconic locations.

Commitment to Community: As a former volunteer with the International Red Cross, I have direct experience helping people in times of crisis. This ethos is carried into my business today through my commitment to supporting local charities with pro-bono work, reinforcing that Liverpool Visuals is a company with a genuine community focus.  
When you hire Liverpool Visuals, you are not just hiring a photographer or a drone pilot. You are partnering with a professional whose unique background guarantees a service that is technically precise, creatively inspired, and personally invested in achieving a perfect result for you.

My passion for photography has travelled with me across the UK and abroad. I have built a personal portfolio capturing the architectural beauty and unique character of cities such as London, Prague, and Copenhagen. This type of photography hones a different set of skills: an appreciation for light, shadow, and form, and the ability to find a compelling composition that tells the story of a place. This experience is directly transferable to my professional work, particularly in property marketing, where the goal is to showcase a building's most appealing features, and in wedding photography, where a historic venue can be framed as a stunning, cinematic backdrop.
