A string of property photos!

August was a busy month for property photos. I was asked to capture several homes, which included professional photography, a video walkthrough, and a Matterport 3D virtual tour.

If you haven’t seen what these services can do for your own property, they’re a fantastic way to showcase your home or rental listing. High-quality photos highlight the best features, a real estate video tour helps buyers and tenants understand the flow of the space, and a Matterport 3D tour lets people explore every room at their own pace.

With more buyers and renters expecting to see properties online before arranging a viewing, these tools are becoming essential. Professional property photography and virtual tours not only help listings stand out but also attract more serious enquiries.

If you’re in West Cumbria and looking to sell or let your property, now’s the perfect time to invest in professional photos, video, or a 3D virtual tour to present your space at its very best.

Steel Magnolias

Whitehaven Theatre Group asked me to take photos to publicise their show Steel Magnolias. Showing at Rosehill in Whitehaven, it promises laughter and tears from this amazing cast.

Stagecoach performing arts show 2025

Stagecoach Performing Arts offers singing, dancing, and acting classes for children and young people, focussing on building “Creative Courage For Life” and essential life skills.

I was invited to capture their Carlisle and Cockermouth branches perform at the Carnegie in Workington on Sunday 29th June 2025. I was inspired by the dedication shown by the kids and staff who pulled off an incredible performance.

Here are just a very small selection of examples from that event.

The Rum Story, Whitehaven

I recently had the pleasure of doing a publicity photoshoot at The Rum Story in Whitehaven, a truly unique and informative attraction. Housed in the original 1785 trading premises of the Jefferson family, this museum takes you on a fascinating journey into the captivating history of rum, from its origins in the Caribbean and ties to the transatlantic slave trade, reflecting Whitehaven’s significant historical role. The exhibition thoughtfully explores this often difficult past, alongside tales of pirates, smugglers, and the journey of rum through the ages.

Here are some photos from that shoot.

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. I spent a lot of time removing ugly distractions – including a shopping cart! All this can detract from the overall appeal and it is attention to detail that helps deliver what the client needs.

If you 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 with 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.

Publicity photos for the Goodlives Project

The Goodlives Project, in Cleator Moor, provides therapeutic support for learners, many of whom have mental health issues. They required photos for promotional & website purposes, here are just a few from the day…

Promo photos for a property in St Bees

This huge farmhouse dating back to the 17th Century is available to rent. I was asked to complete some photos for promotional purposes.
More images can’t be shared I’m sorry.

Property photos in Whitehaven

I was asked to take publicity photos for a property in Irish St to promote rental on their website.
I’m sorry that more images can not be shown.

Hercules promo shoot

Whitehaven Theatre Group asked me to take publicity photos of their Christmas Panto, Hercules! It was a fun-packed show with lots going on. They loved the pictures! (Oh yes they did!)…

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.

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

The Little Mermaid publicity photos

Workington Amateur Operatic Society asked me to take some photos of their show for publicity purposes. The set and lighting were all fantastic and they were pleased with the end results!

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.

A real estate shoot with UK Breaks

I was contacted by UK Breaks Ltd asking if I was available to shoot a property they recently took on for renovation – I was more than happy to help!  The property comprised of individual flats over two floors and their photos were supplied within 24 hours of the shoot.

Dual dash camera fitting to a car

Thought you might like to see this, the fitting of a Vantrue S1 dual camera dash-cam to my 2019 Octavia vRS. It’s a kind of no-nonsense mini-guide and mini-review at the same time with some tips and pitfalls along the way.

Further commitment to better quality pictures

I’ve bought the new Canon 16-35mm f2.8L mk3 lens – a significant investment but one that’s necessary to have the best image quality available.   As one of my favourite and most used lenses for all types of work no other manufacturer has a lens of this quality at this focal length.  It’s truly an amazing lens!
