As I have a commercial and artistic approach to all of my commissions I'm particularly suited to commercial property marketing. Commercial buildings need to have a mixed concentration within the images to highlight aesthetics, functionality and value to the customers needs.
I use a Nikon D800 full-frame 35mm camera, which provides high-resolution 48MP images with excellent detail retention. My lens choices include wide-angle 17-35mm, 24-70mm & 70-200mm options for capturing entire spaces and details. A good solid tripod is essential with a remote shutter to minimise camera movement on long exposures that are common with interiors.
In today’s digital age, the first interaction potential buyers or tenants have with a property is often through images online. Professional architectural photography ensures that the first impression is compelling, drawing in interest and engagement.
Before any shoot, I take the time to consult with clients, whether they are architects, designers, or developers. This ensures I capture the key elements of a project, including specific architectural details, materials, and engineering features.
Choosing the right architectural photographer is crucial to ensuring that your project is represented in the best possible way. As someone with over 20 years of experience working with architects, developers, and designers, I know that hiring a skilled professional is more than just about taking pictures—it’s about understanding the vision behind a project and capturing it with precision and creativity.
I offer an all-inclusive approach, meaning clients receive a full set of professionally edited images at no extra cost per image all based on the time spent on location starting at £350 for up to half day. This typically includes well over 50 images.
