  David Liscio Photojournalist

  Jan 1988 - now

  On most assignments I do the interviewing, writing, photography and editing of both text and images. For clients concerned about their budgets, sending me to the location can significantly reduce expenses - i.e. one plane ticket, one meal plan, one hotel room. I travel as required and bring back high-quality digital images to accompany my written words, albeit for news and feature stories, corporate reports or commercial advertising and marketing ventures. Photography, writing and editing services on assignment or contractual basis. Based in Metro Boston. Digital, hi-resolution production. News, advertising, commercial, industrial.
