What my clients say

  • Hannah, Giggling Squid

    Hannah, Giggling Squid

    “We’ve had the pleasure of working with Chris for a while now. He has photographed many of our restaurants for new openings and refurbishments and goes above and beyond to capture the best shots which show off our bright floral designs. Even where the light can be tricky or if the weather isn’t on side, the end results are always fabulous! He is also very accommodating and can work with our tight timeframes as we often have a very short window from shoot to launch.”

  • Sean, Sean Symington Design

His eye for detail, understanding of space, and ability to capture the essence of a room is truly unmatched. Whether it’s a high-end residential project or a commercial space, Chris consistently delivers images that elevate the work and tell a compelling visual story. His professionalism, creativity, and easygoing nature make every shoot an enjoyable experience. I’m grateful to have them as a trusted partner in showcasing my work, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of exceptional interior photography."

Featured project

Photographing the Swann Inn, Fittleworth

This interior design photoshoot was a real treat, and not just because I got to sample the food. The Swann Inn at Fittleworth has been tastefully refurbished by Zanna Westgate Design and JDH Furnishings; marrying the country charm of this historic inn with high end luxurious accommodation.

This shoot was a busy one as we had lots of rooms to capture. I was conscious that the images were to be used by the interior designer, upholsterer and the Swann Inn so we worked closely together on the day to make sure everyone had the images they needed. We captured a mix of wider shots of bedrooms which could be used for promotion as well as the more creative vignettes and detail shots.

The images have been featured in The Times, House and Garden, The Telegraph and many more publications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Pre-shoot preparations

  • We'll discuss your project and any specific requirements you have. We can also discuss timings, access, logistics and any other queries you have.

  • I can advise on useful props and accessories we may use on the day. This will depend on what is already on location and the style of image you are looking to achieve.

  • I have a full checklist for you in the section below. Keeping your client in the loop is important and thinking about how you intend to use your images as that will determine the shots we take.

The photoshoot

  • On arrival I like to walk through the property and make a shot list. We then work methodically to make sure we capture the images you need.

  • Composing, styling and capturing takes time. Most shoots take a full day. If you are just capturing one or two rooms or spaces we may be able to finish in a half day.

  • The best weather for interior photography is a cloudy overcast day. If the exterior is important or the property has large windows rain is not ideal. We will monitor the weather forecast and reschedule if necessary.

Editing and delivery

  • You can usually expect to receive your images within a week. If they are urgent I may be able to turn them around faster for you.

  • You will receive a set of small JPEG images ready for sharing and social media. I also render a high-res set of TIF images specifically for print.

  • Images are usually licensed to you on a non-exclusive basis. They can be used for your promotion worldwide, in all media with no time limit. For more information licensing click here.
