I was asked to photograph this home by the family selling it. They were keen to have their own photographer tell the story of their home to ensure that only the best images were used by the estate agent. I was blessed with great light on the day of the shoot which meant I could shoot the exterior extensively to show off the large garden and different planting areas. The rooms are all spacious so the light flooding into them made the colours of the furniture and artwork stand out against the freshly painted white walls. I love the projector and large screen in their cinema/library and the bi-fold doors in the lounge/dining area. A great house to work in as a property photographer!

A celebration of the great British garden
I had my work cut out for this shoot given how many buildings I had to get round but also extensive grounds that I could have happily worked in all day. The weather was beautiful and the garden was well organised with distinct areas for growing, playing and sitting in quietly to eat and drink, read, reflect or just listen to the birds. The colours and textures were rich and varied and I realised how much joy it gave the owners to walk around the space and enjoy the different areas of their garden. I wanted to show how the distinct areas all connected so that prospective buyers could get a feel for the layout of the garden and just how much it had to offer. I admit that exploring and photographing this garden did make me want to have my own little green space to cultivate and maybe even photograph. In the meantime here’s some of my favourite shots from photographing this wonderful space.
Small really is beautiful
Images from a show home on a brand new development in the centre of Newark in Nottingham. This house has two bedrooms and is an excellent example of well planned layout and bold interior design. Any home, no matter what the size, can look beautiful and feel luxurious. It was wonderful to be working on this project with a progressive housing association keen to build such great homes for people to live in. I had so much fun walking around and shooting this home. I was lucky to have a good weather day with lovely diffused light coming through the windows. I can’t wait to start the next project with them and share it with you.
