For Property Developers
From show home shoots to phased development marketing — I work with developers across the UK to create images that sell properties before they're finished.
Practical, experience-based advice from 17 years of photographing new build developments across the South West and beyond.
Start shooting from groundworks. Progress photos build investor confidence, feed social media, and create a visual timeline that sells the story of your development.
I recommend quarterly shoots minimum — monthly for larger sites. The cost is minimal compared to the marketing value.
Don't just photograph rooms — photograph lifestyles. A breakfast bar with coffee and croissants tells a story that a bare worktop never will.
I bring a staging checklist to every show home shoot. It takes 10 minutes to prep each room and makes the difference between 'nice' and 'sold'.
Use CGI renders for off-plan marketing, then replace with real photography as soon as the first units are complete. Buyers trust real photos 3x more than renders.
I've worked with developers who saw a 40% uplift in enquiries when they switched from CGI-only to a blended approach.
Aerial photography shows plot layouts, proximity to amenities, and the surrounding area. It's the single most effective way to sell location.
Every development shoot I do includes drone coverage as standard — it's that important for developers.
Professional photography typically costs less than 0.1% of a development's value but can reduce time-on-market by 32%. That's thousands saved in carrying costs per plot.

For your flagship plots and show homes, a twilight exterior shoot creates aspirational imagery that commands premium pricing and stops the scroll on Rightmove.
I schedule twilight shoots at golden hour — the 30-minute window where warm interior light meets a dramatic sky.

From Matthew
17 years photographing new builds
"Working with developers is one of my favourite parts of the job. There's something satisfying about photographing a site from muddy groundworks through to the finished show home — watching the marketing materials evolve alongside the build.
The biggest mistake I see developers make is leaving photography until the last minute. By the time the show home is dressed and the sales office is open, you've already missed months of marketing opportunities. Progress photos, drone footage of the site taking shape, early interior shots of the first completed units — all of this builds momentum with buyers.
I've put together this hub with the marketing tips and tools I wish every developer had access to. Whether you're building 5 houses or 500, the principles are the same — start early, shoot often, and let the photography do the selling."
