I’ve noticed that I haven’t really shared much about my clients here. I mean, I’m not going to show every shoot I’m doing and there are various reasons for that, but sometimes I think it would be nice for you to get a glimpse of what I’m up to. So this is one of those posts. And I think that more will follow…
Most UK readers (and possibly international, too!) will already be familiar with Inigo and The Modern House. At least if you have even a passing interest in interiors. Now, I’ll be the first to say that I never thought I’d work for…errr…an estate agent! But this one is, well, different.
One of the things that makes them stand out is that they use professional photographers for their house shoots. So the homes are represented in the best light possible. None of those dodgy point-and-shoot snaps from the junior agent here! No, shots are considered, and attention is paid to lighting, angles, and details. And then to the edits, too! Yes, a lot of consideration goes into those shots.
The other thing is that they “pre-vet” the homes they take on. So yes, a home does have to be of a certain standard, look, quirkiness, beauty or just have something special. Your run-of-the-mill semi won’t do here - though that’s not because it’s a semi. Just to be clear. I actually think that’s a good thing. Being selective means that clients can expect a certain standard which in turn reflects well on their homes.
All this is - to me - the perfect job. It marries my passions for photography and interiors. It makes me pay attention to details and composition at all times. It focuses my eye to bring out the best in each home. Of course most of the time that’s not exactly difficult because the homes are so fabulous! I love the variety, no two homes are the same, from mid-century modern, to rustic cottages to elegant, vast manor houses. I get to enter someone’s home, speak with the owner, learn a little about them and have access to their otherwise private space. It’s a privilege.
So here are some of my personal (so far!) favourites.
I hope you like the shots I have selected to share with you! And if you ever need a project or your home photographing, just get in touch and we can have a chat!
