Property photography

Give people a reason to look closer

A property’s photographs often make its first introduction. They need to show the space clearly, bring out its character and help someone imagine being there.

I photograph interiors, exteriors and surroundings for estate agencies, property marketing teams and architects. My approach combines a clear sense of the building with the individual details that make it worth exploring.

Based in Leicestershire, I work across Leicester and the county, throughout the UK and regularly in London. Whether the brief is for a listing, a portfolio or an editorial feature, I shape the coverage around how the photographs will be used.

Help viewers understand the home

Exterior views establish the setting. Interior photographs show the layout, proportions and connections between rooms. Closer images draw attention to a staircase, an original feature, a considered finish or a view into the garden.

That combination helps viewers build a fuller impression of the property, with photographs that both explain the space and invite closer attention.

A home with a story to tell

Some properties call for an editorial approach that brings the building, its occupants and its surroundings together. This can give architects and marketing teams a more personal way to present a project.

At Knossington Passivhaus in Leicestershire, I photographed a magazine editorial for Habitat+ Architects. The assignment combined architecture, interior details and countryside views with photographs of the owners using their home.
