From offices and retail spaces to hospitality venues and care homes, I create high-quality imagery that matches the standard of your brand. Nationwide coverage available.
Professional photography that helps developers and house builders sell homes faster. Show home interiors, drone aerials, build progress documentation, and virtual tours, delivered anywhere in the UK with travel included.
I'm Matthew, and unlike a big agency, when your show home is ready on a Thursday and you need photos before the weekend launch, you're dealing with one person who can just say yes.
I've photographed new developments across the South West for years, and I know the difference between making a show home look staged and making it look like somewhere people can imagine living. That judgement comes from me, not a brief handed to a freelancer.
From the first drone shot of the cleared site to the final show home photography, I cover every stage of the marketing journey.
Professional HDR photography of your dressed show home, every room captured to showcase the quality of your finishes, the flow of the layout, and the lifestyle buyers are investing in.
CAA-licensed drone photography showing the full development, individual plots in context, surrounding amenities, and the wider setting. Included in every package at no extra cost.
Interactive 3D walkthroughs that let buyers explore your show home from anywhere. Embed on your website, share via email, or link from property portals to qualify leads before they visit.
Monthly or milestone-based progress photography for investors, stakeholders, and marketing. Drone aerials and ground-level shots documenting every stage from foundations to completion.
Complete image sets delivered in formats ready for property portals, your website, social media, printed brochures, hoarding boards, and sales office displays.
Photograph multiple house types and plots in a single visit. Consistent quality across every unit, whether you're marketing 5 homes or 500.
A well-photographed show home doesn't just show rooms, it sells a lifestyle. I use professional HDR techniques to ensure every room looks bright, spacious, and inviting, capturing the quality of your finishes and the care that's gone into the dressing.
From open-plan kitchen-diners flooded with natural light to master bedrooms styled for aspiration, every image is designed to make buyers picture themselves living there.
Drone photography is essential for marketing new build developments. Aerial shots show the layout of the development, the position of individual plots, surrounding amenities, transport links, and the wider setting, all the context that helps buyers understand exactly what they're investing in.
I hold full CAA permissions and carry comprehensive insurance. Drone photography is included at no extra cost wherever it adds something, and it's not an add-on, it's standard.
From initial brief to delivered images, a straightforward process designed to fit around your build programme.
Tell me about your development, number of plots, house types, show home status, and what you need. Check the pricing section below, or get in touch for a bespoke multi-site quote.
I'll work around your build programme and show home dressing schedule. I can photograph at any stage, from construction progress to completed show homes and finished plots.

All images are professionally edited and delivered within 48 hours. You receive full-resolution files in every format you need, web, print, portal, and social media ready.
I understand the pressures of the development cycle. Photography that's on time, on brief, and consistent across every site.
I travel to developments anywhere in the UK. Travel is included in all nationwide packages, no hidden extras.
Same photographer, same editing style, same quality at every development. Your marketing stays consistent whether it's one site or twenty.
All images professionally edited and delivered within 48 hours as standard. Express 24-hour delivery available when you need it.
I understand the build process, the sales cycle, and what marketing teams need. I know when to shoot, what to capture, and how to present it.

Starting prices
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.
See how that works on a live listing in my Bristol estate-agent sales case study.
Flats, studios & small properties
2–4 bed houses & most listings
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.
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.
For a booking-focused image library in practice, see the Collie Shepherds Huts case study.
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
Up to 40 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, a small number of additional bookings can cover the shoot. Airbnb reports 19% more bookings on average for listings using its professional photography programme, although results vary by listing, 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.

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.

Allison Homes South West commissioned Matterport 3D virtual tours of two dressed show homes at their Tarka Coombe development in Landkey, North Devon. The brief was to create a permanent digital record of each show home interior, for use in 3D headsets at pop-up marketing events and embedded on the developer's website and sales materials.
The two show homes, the Lyndale and the Oakdale, each have a distinct interior design scheme. Capturing them in Matterport creates an asset that outlasts the physical show home: once the development sells out and the homes are handed over to buyers, the 3D tours remain available for future marketing, investor presentations, and planning applications for similar house types. I also produced a full set of supporting still images across both properties.
Read the full Allison Homes case study, including both interactive Matterport tours embedded in the post.

From regional developers to national house builders, I deliver consistent, high-quality results on every project.
New Build & Developer Photography Specialist
New build photography is a different discipline from photographing existing homes. There's no lived-in character to lean on, you have to create warmth and aspiration through composition, lighting, and careful staging. I've been working with developers across Somerset and Bristol for several years now, and I've developed a reliable process that delivers consistent results across entire developments.
One thing I always do on new build shoots is arrive early to assess the light. Show homes are often staged beautifully, but the lighting can be challenging, downlighters create harsh shadows, and some rooms face north. I bring my own lighting kit (Godox strobes and diffusers) to balance the ambient light and ensure every room looks bright, spacious, and inviting.
I also work closely with the sales teams. They know which plot types are hardest to sell, which features buyers ask about, and what the competition's marketing looks like. That insight helps me prioritise the shots that will actually drive reservations, rather than just producing a generic set of images. It's a collaborative process, and the developers I work with regularly tell me it makes a real difference to their off-plan sales.
My Developers packages are tailored for new builds and show homes: Show Home at £299 (single show home interiors, exteriors, and drone), Development at £399 (show home plus site coverage, aerial overview, and construction progress), and Location Marketing at £499 (full development plus local area amenity photography and lifestyle context). All include drone photography and 48-hour delivery. Add-ons include Matterport 3D virtual tours, floor plans, and video walkthroughs (£150). For multi-site or ongoing partnerships, get in touch and I'll put together a bespoke rate that reflects the volume of work.
Yes, I regularly photograph multiple show homes and house types in a single visit. This is the most cost-effective approach for developments with several plots to market. I'll plan the shoot to make the most of the light and work efficiently through each property.
Yes. I offer monthly or milestone-based progress photography packages. These typically include drone aerials showing overall site progress, plus ground-level shots of key construction stages. It's valuable for investor updates, marketing content, and creating a visual record of the build.
I can typically accommodate bookings within 3-5 working days. For show home launches or time-sensitive marketing deadlines, I can often arrange shorter notice shoots. For ongoing partnerships, I can schedule regular visits well in advance to align with your build programme.
Drone photography is included at no extra cost wherever aerials add something. I hold full CAA permissions and carry comprehensive insurance. Aerial shots show the development layout, individual plot positions, surrounding amenities, and the wider setting, all essential for marketing materials and website content.
Yes. All images are delivered in full resolution and in formats suitable for every use, property portals, websites, social media, printed brochures, hoarding boards, and sales office displays. I can also provide specific crops or formats on request.
I work with developers of all sizes, from local builders completing small infill sites to regional and national house builders with multiple developments. The same quality and service applies regardless of the scale of the project.
CGI (computer-generated imagery) is essential for off-plan marketing before the property exists, but once the show home is built, real photography outperforms CGI in every metric. Buyers trust real images more than renders, and professional photography shows the actual quality of finishes, natural light, and proportions. I work alongside CGI providers, photographing the completed show home to replace renders as soon as possible. The transition from CGI to real photography typically coincides with a spike in reservations.
Show home photography requires a different approach to standard property photography. I focus on lifestyle aspiration, capturing the staging, the quality of finishes, the flow between rooms, and the emotional appeal that drives reservations. I shoot at the optimal time of day for each property's orientation, use supplementary lighting to balance interiors, and include detail shots of kitchen worktops, bathroom fittings, and built-in storage that buyers want to see up close.
Construction progress photography documents the build at regular intervals, typically monthly or at key milestones. Each visit includes drone aerials showing overall site progress, ground-level shots of structural stages, and detail images of key construction elements. The resulting image library is valuable for investor updates, planning compliance records, marketing content showing the development taking shape, and social media posts that build anticipation among prospective buyers.
