    “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.”

    “Chris has a collaborative approach that makes the whole process a pleasure. He helped stage shots, involved us throughout, and focused on getting a considered set of images that really reflected the essence of each project. Our clients really enjoyed how he gently involved them too, which is especially important when photographing someone’s home with sensitivity. He’s warm, professional, and a joy to spend the day with, and his photography has connected us with clients who share our values.” ”

Featured project

Residential architecture photography for Silvan Architechts

“Chris photographed two of our recent residential projects, and we were impressed by how he captured not just the architecture, but the life within it. His attention to detail and thoughtful composition helped tell the architectural story, not only the design intent, but how people live in the spaces we’ve shaped. As architects designing homes, that narrative is incredibly important to us to communicate through our website, social media and practice handbook.

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 a property takes time. Most shoots take a full day or more. If you are just capturing one or two rooms we may be able to finish in a half day.

  • 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 on licensing click here.
