Examples Of My Work

My photography packages can provide you with a few different styles of photos. Here’s some examples to help you choose the right photography package for your needs. Plus a little insight into my process for capturing these photos.

All photos are delivered beautifully and tastefully edited via your own personal digital gallery, where they are available for you to download in both high and low resolution. I only deliver edited photos and wont provide ‘raw’ images. 

You will usually receive all of the shots I have taken during the photo shoot because this style of photography is slow and precise (compared to other commercial photography such as family photos or weddings) meaning there are not many ‘waste’ shots. 

What's a listing photo?

A listing photo is perfect for advertising the property on booking sites and for your website. These are beautiful, bright, wider-angled shots taken in landscape format, showing a clear view and layout of a room, a space or the front and back of the home. These are the preferred style of photos for platforms such as Airbnb and booking.com. They help potential guests to view the property clearly, and decide if it’s the right place for them to book. 

I can usually capture listing photos with 1-2 different sized lenses, nearly always with a tripod, and I will often take these photos at the start of the shoot as they give me time to assess each space for good detail shots later on. 

Fun fact: lots of people think that this style of ‘wide angle’ photo makes a space appear bigger than it really is, when in fact these photos are exactly what a normal eyesight would see from that same position in the room. Beautiful isn’t it!

What's a detail photo?

A detail photo focusses on the unique features of your place. This could be a close-up of a special feature, a view through a door or window, a beautiful table centrepiece, seats around a fire pit, the kayaks in the shed, beautiful plants in the garden, a cute entry sign, the neighbouring cows in the paddock – and so on. 

These photos may be taken in either landscape or portrait format and are perfect to mix in with your listing photos on booking platforms to add variety and interest. They are especially great for attracting your ideal guests on social media.

Detail photos take a little more time for me to capture as I will take some time to explore the property looking for the best angles to take these shots. I may use 3-4 different sized lenses, sometimes with a tripod and sometimes without. 

What are Lived-In or Lifestyle PHOtos?

During the shoot I will use items found at the property to set up some beautiful “lived in” shots that are perfect for promoting the place to your ideal guests. These photos show what it might be like to settle in and really use the different areas of the property during a stay. 

Examples include:

  • A bottle of local wine, glasses, plates and platters on an outdoor table
  • Coffee mugs, coffee pot and magazines on a table in the garden
  • Wine and a puzzle or game on the coffee table in front of the fire
  • A bed with sheets and blankets a bit messed up for a ‘lived in’ look plus books and a tea cup
  • The kitchen with cookbooks and pots and utensils around the stove top, maybe lemons or herbs from the garden
  • A picnic setting
  • Beach towels and toys by the pool
 
You may like to supply your preferred wine or some made-up food / platters for this shoot, or I can supply these items – just let me know in the pre-shoot questionnaire and the cost will be added to your invoice.
 
These shots take the most time as they require the initial set up, playing around with the position of everything to get it just right for the angle seen in the camera (often very different to what looks good in real life!) and then I may use a  number of different sized lenses to get the right view. 

Sunset / Twilight Photos

Taking photos over the sunset and twilight hour can give beautiful, striking images, perfect for showing off amazing outdoor areas such as landscaped gardens, pools, entertaining areas, fire pits or surrounding attractions and views such as forests or farmland. There is usually enough time within the sunset/twilight hour to capture 2-3 different scenes or views. 

Sunset and twilight photography requires a lot of attention as I am working to capture the best shots before I completely loose the light. The clock is ticking as the sun disappears, and then after it’s dipped below the horizon there’s a very short-lived but beautiful glow in the sky (dusk or twilight) where each photo takes time with much longer exposures, often 2-3 minutes. If you’re at the photo shoot, please don’t mind me if I completely ignore you during this hour! It can be intense!

The shoot will be over about half an hour after sunset.

drone (aerial) photos

These photos capture the property from the air in context to surrounding attractions such as the beach, forest, farmland or town. These photos can look very striking and interesting and they help potential guests to ‘place’ the home in the landscape.

I am an accredited RPA operator, flying one of the best drones in the industry for content creation and beautiful property photography from the air. Flying the drone is not always possible, there are sometimes temporary airspace restrictions that make it illegal to fly a drone over your property. Or the weather may not be favourable – a little bit of wind is ok, but a lot of wind and any chance of rain is not ok. 

But when it is possible, the results can be spectacular…

COntent Video

These videos are made up of a series of mini clips of different areas and views throughout the property. They are perfect for promoting your property on social media – especially Instagram and Tiktok. You can post the reel in its full length with your own choice of music at the time of posting, or you can duplicate and cut the reel into smaller 10-15 second clips for use multiple times over different posts. 

I create these videos with a dedicated Content Camera during the photo shoot, capturing special features and views as I see them. They are provided to you as one MP4 reel, approximately 60 seconds long, with royalty free backing music.
