Based in Somerset and regularly working as a property photographer in Bristol, Bath and North East Somerset and the South West, I provide professional property photography, drone images, floor plans, virtual tours and video for homes, rentals, holiday lets and developments.


Property Photo Guy provides professional property photography in Bristol, property photography in Bath and across Somerset, with packages from £175. Every package includes drone photography (where safe and permitted), professional HDR editing, and 48-hour delivery*. Additional services include Matterport virtual tours, floor plans, and Airbnb photography. Run by Matthew Evans with 17+ years of experience. Get in touch or call 07545 450543.
Photographer, drone pilot, and the person behind a comprehensive property photography guide covering everything I've learned over 17 years.
I started photographing properties back in 2007 as part of my agency work. Since then, I've built up extensive experience across every type of property, from compact flats to sprawling country estates, new build developments to luxury holiday lets. My work has taken me around the world, from photographing climate projects in Kenya to commercial spaces in China. I'm based in Somerset but work right across the UK, especially with developers and house builders on larger projects.
I'm not fancy or corporate. I just turn up, do the job properly, and deliver brilliant results fast. No upselling, no hidden costs, no nonsense. You get honest, professional photography at a fair price.
I shoot to match the property. Clean and bright for a family home, rich and editorial for something with more character. Every set of images is tailored to how the property should feel, not a one-size-fits-all formula.
If you're interested in learning property photography yourself, I've put together a comprehensive photography guide covering everything I know — 41 lessons, from camera settings to running a business.
Professional photography, video walkthroughs, drone aerials, and 3D virtual tours, all in one shoot, delivered within 48 hours.

Recent case studies, tips, and insights from properties I've photographed across Bristol, Bath, Somerset and beyond.

A pre-launch Airbnb shoot for a stunning A-frame eco lodge set in open Herefordshire farmland, capturing the architecture, interior design, outdoor spaces, and landscape setting.

A confidential commercial drone photography project capturing a special session at The Wave, Bristol's inland surfing lake. Crystal clear turquoise water, geometric pool patterns, and dramatic aerial perspectives showcasing what commercial drone photography can deliver for leisure and sport venues.

Why holiday let photography goes far beyond standard estate agent shots. A breakdown of the different approach, shot types, styling, and composition that specialist Airbnb photography demands, and why it delivers measurably better results for your listing.

A full dawn-to-dusk photography shoot for a luxury glamping retreat on the Somerset Levels. Three sessions across one day capturing interiors, exteriors, fire pits, hot tubs, and lifestyle details to give potential guests the complete experience from morning light to evening atmosphere.

Multi-stage construction documentation for a major residential development, capturing window cills, expansion joints, brickwork quality, and progress photography across the full build programme. A look at the challenges of working on an active building site.

When estate agent photography fails to convey the premium nature of a home, specialist property photography makes the difference. This Frome property needed wide-angle and focused crop shots to showcase its contemporary extension, curated interiors, and landscaped garden.

A unique property set within its own valley, complete with a river running through the grounds. This project was about capturing not just the house, but the lifestyle it represents.

A small, private Cotswold stone cottage in the sought-after village of Lower Oddington needed editorial-style photography combining interior shots, village context images, and a drone aerial overview to position the listing at the premium end of the market.
I'm based in Weston-super-Mare and regularly work across Bristol property photography, Bath property photography, Somerset, and the wider South West. I work with estate agents, developers, and property owners who want professional photography that helps sell faster.
For property photography in Bristol, I cover Clifton, Redland, Southville, Bishopston, Stoke Bishop, and the harbourside. Bristol's mix of Georgian terraces, Victorian conversions, and modern waterfront apartments all benefit from professional HDR photography and drone aerials that show off the city context.
For property photography in Bath, I specialise in capturing Georgian townhouses, Royal Crescent properties, Bathwick villas, and period homes across the city. Bath's UNESCO World Heritage architecture demands careful lighting and composition to showcase original features, sash windows, and honey-coloured stone.
Across Somerset, I photograph everything from thatched cottages and farmhouses to new-build developments and holiday lets. Whether you're in Taunton, Bridgwater, Wells, Glastonbury, or Frome, I know the local market and what buyers in each area respond to.
Why choose a local property photographer? I know the light, the architecture, and the selling points that matter in this region. A photographer who understands Somerset's countryside, Bristol's urban character, and Bath's period elegance will capture your property in a way that resonates with local buyers, not just produce generic interior shots.

If your photography is how guests find you and decide, look at . If you need a clear, accurate set of images for a listing, the standard packages are the right fit.
Airbnb and holiday let photography goes beyond wide-angle room shots. It's a mix of wide-angle and curated editorial-style images, lifestyle details, styled vignettes, and guest-perspective angles that sell an experience, not just a space.
80% of my work is holiday rental photography. You're booking a specialist who's shot hundreds of listings and written the book on what makes them perform.
Studios, one-beds and single-room lets
Up to 25 finished images
Typically earned back within one or two extra bookings
Most 2–4 bed lets
40–50 finished images
Typically earned back within one or two extra bookings
Larger properties and hosts marketing across multiple channels
70+ finished images
Built for bigger properties with more rooms to cover, and for hosts who need images for their listing, direct bookings and social.
Usually covered by around two extra bookings, then it keeps paying
Photography that pays for itself
On a typical holiday let at £120 to £180 a night, one or two extra bookings covers the whole shoot. Listings with professional photos take around 24% more bookings, so most hosts are back in profit within the first few weeks, and the images keep working for years afterwards.
Every package delivers a library rather than a single listing set, so you can refresh your photos through the seasons, feed direct booking sites and social, and keep your listing looking current.
Volume rates and monthly retainers available for agents and portfolio landlords. Get in touch for a rate card.
*For standard packages. Larger shoots or multi-property commissions may require additional editing time — I'll always confirm your delivery date at booking.




Signature shoots aren't priced by bedroom count. A two bed lodge with a beautifully considered interior often takes as long to photograph properly as a five bed house, because the time goes into the light and the detail rather than the floor area. So these are booked by the day.

Editorial imagery shot and finished to the standard interiors magazines publish. Composed properly, lit properly, hand-finished frame by frame.
A day rate suits both ends. Shepherd's huts and one bed lodges, boutique cottages, and larger houses and mansions all get the same level of care.
We wait for the light, style and reset as we go, and don't leave until the property has been shown at its best. Guaranteed, or I reshoot it.
It should pay for itself, quickly
At luxury nightly rates, a Signature shoot is typically earned back on the first booking it wins you. From there it is pure return: the same set keeps filling your calendar, at a higher nightly rate, for years.
Signature isn't a bigger package. It's a different kind of shoot: fewer, better frames, made with the time and attention that a property with real character needs. If what you want is a large library to rotate through, Airbnb Premium is the better buy.
What drives the time is how many spaces you want to feature, whether we're styling and resetting between shots, whether we're waiting for the right light, and whether there are exteriors, grounds or aerials to cover. Tell me what you have in mind and I'll say which makes sense.
Signature sets aren't sold by the image. You get everything worth keeping from the time we spend, fully finished, which is where the value sits: a small set of images this strong will out-earn a large set of ordinary ones, and they stay usable for years across your listing, your own site, print and press.
For sale photography focuses on clean, wide-angle shots that present every room at its best. The goal is to sell the space — bright, inviting images that help buyers picture themselves living there.
