Polished Property Photos: It’s All in the Edit

I just wrapped up a recent property photography assignment. Capturing great shots on location is step one, but the work continues in the editing! A key part of delivering polished images involves careful editing, including removing small but distracting items that can detract from the overall appeal. It’s this attention to detail that helps showcase a property at its absolute best.

Need high-quality, meticulously edited photos for your property listing? Get in touch!
Here are just a couple of the exterior.

Break a leg, Andy!

Thrilled to have worked with Andy on his headshots! He’s pursuing auditions across the country. A strong headshot is key when casting directors haven’t met you, so I made sure these did the job without being overbearing by using a neutral backdrop and even lighting.

I wish Andy all the best as he sends these out nationwide!

Everybody’s Talking About Jamie!

I took the photos for Whitehaven Theatre Group’s production of Everybody’s Talking About Jamie! These shoots are always fun and it certainly didn’t disappoint! They’re brilliant to work with.
Here are a couple of shots.

WAOS production of Annie!

Workington Amateur Operatic Society performed the musical, Annie, at the Carnegie Theatre. It was a fantastic production and very well reviewed. I had the pleasure of taking their publicity photos, here are just a few of Annie.

A brilliant lighting workshop at Rosehill!

We had a Studio Lighting taster workshop at Rosehill on the 1st March 2025. We tried out various styles of lighting using Bowens studio lights on the stage,
Demi and Rachel were fantastic and the staff at Rosehill couldn’t do more for us, it was very successful all round!

Here are a some of the photos taken by the people on the workshop…

Hercules promo shoot

The Hunchback of Notre Dame! Publicity photos

Workington Amateur Operatic Society asked me to take their publicity photos for their performance of The Hunchmack of Notre Dame. It was an amazing performance.

In fifteenth-century Paris, a kind-hearted bell ringer, Quasimodo, has his life changed when he meets Esmerelda and he finds himself caught in a web of lies, love and prejudice.

A photography Workshop at Calder Abbey

I ran a photography workshop at Calder Abbey this summer, the historic Abbey is derelict and the house is in a worrying state of disrepair but the whole place has atmosphere in spades.

Rock of Ages, a promo shoot

I completed some great shots for the Whitehaven Theatre Group to promote their “Rock of Ages” musical!

Rock of Ages is a jukebox musical built around classic rock songs from the 1980s, especially from the famous glam metal bands of that decade. The musical features songs from Styx, Journey, Bon Jovi, Pat Benatar, Twisted Sister, Steve Perry, Poison and Europe, among other well-known rock bands

A great opportunity for the stage!

Workington’s Amateur Operatic Society asked me to photograph the dress rehearsals of their Musical performances of Shrek and School of Rock.  It was an honour to be involved with such a talented bunch of people. I know that can sound cliche however from the staff behind the scenes in costume, lighting and music through to the actors themselves it’s easy to see they all love each minute of being on stage.
