About Matthew Evans
Professional property photographer, CAA-licensed drone pilot, and Matterport virtual tour provider. Based in Somerset, working across Bristol, Bath, and nationwide.
My Story
I started photographing properties back in 2007 as part of my agency work. What began as a practical skill quickly became a passion. Over the past 17 years, I've built up extensive experience across every type of property — from compact city 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. But Somerset is home, and it's where I do my best work. I cover the whole of Somerset, Bristol, Bath, and increasingly work nationwide 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 — and your images back within 48 hours.
My Approach: Natural Light & HDR
My philosophy is simple: represent every property in its best and most natural light. I use dynamic range bracketing — taking multiple exposures at different brightness levels and blending them together — to capture the full range of light in every room. This evens out the tones, filling in shadows and taming bright windows, creating images that are vibrant, balanced, and true to life.
I prefer bright, inviting shots over dark and moody — it's just my style, and it works brilliantly for marketing and promoting a property. You want buyers to walk in and think "I could live here," and that starts with the photos.
This natural light approach means my images show the property exactly as it is — the real colours, the real atmosphere, the real feel of the space. No artificial lighting, no overly processed look. Just honest, beautiful photography that helps properties sell.
