Photographing Bed and Breakfasts
02/09/10 18:16
Good Bed and Breakfast websites are pretty rare and as for the photography, most attempts are obviously done by the owners and it shows. This year with the economic climate not in good shape I have seen a considerable increase in demand for my services from B&B owners. With fewer visitors about owners are looking at their marketing and realising that professionally taken images puts them ahead of the competition.
Here is one website which I did earlier this year which definitely raises the bar.

Late spring and early summer is the busiest time of the year for property photography, timing is essential to get the shots just as trees and gardens spring into life. Too early and the daffodils and spring bulbs can make the brochures look dated if the property fails to sell immediately, leave the photography too late and you will miss the market. Ideally take pictures one year in June when gardens look their best and sell the next.
Not the grandest house I have ever photographed but this remote beautiful Warwickshire farmhouse will be a rare buying opportunity for somebody.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Welcome to 2010!
If you live in the UK its come with an icy blast - we are told it is the coldest winter in 30 years ! It is not often that you get large quantities of snow, sunshine and blue skies in this country . Like most photographers it always takes a week or two before commissions / work start to come in so get your warm clothes on, blow away Christmas, and get some library shots of the local area, if they are any good, they will sell at some stage.
Chesterton Windmill must be one of the most photographed buildings in Warwickshire - there were at least two other photographers lurking when I took this

Baddesley Clinton at Dawn

Baddesley Clinton is a moated manor house in Warwickshire. This image was one of many taken but not used in my book Shakespeares Scenery .
Taken at dawn a few minutes after the summer sun had emerged, it was a magical moment with the dawn chorus ringing out and the smell of a dewey damp morning.
My National Trust images can be found on the national trust image library website
