Frequently Asked Questions

How many images will I receive?

There is no fixed number. We focus on creating the strongest edit for your project, delivering a carefully curated set of professionally retouched images. View our portfolio and contact sheets to see complete sets of images from projects. This will give you an idea of the number of images you will receive.

How long does an architectural photography shoot take?

Most commissions take between half a day and two days on site, depending on the scale of the project and the required coverage.

How quickly will the final images or film be delivered?

Final photography is typically delivered within 7 days of the shoot. Faster delivery can often be arranged if required. Films are usually produced within 14 days.

Can you photograph occupied buildings and live environments?

Yes. We regularly photograph workplaces, educational buildings, cultural projects, public spaces and residential developments while they are in use.

What information do you need before a shoot?

A project address, drawings or plans, key viewpoints, recce photos, access arrangements, and details of how the images will be used are usually sufficient to get started.

What happens if the weather is unsuitable?

Weather is a key consideration. If conditions are not right to achieve the best results, we will discuss postponing or scheduling a return visit.

Can architectural photography and film be commissioned together?

Yes. Many clients combine photography, drone imagery and film production within a single commission to create a complete set of marketing and communications assets.

What rights do we have to use the photographs?

All commissions include a licence tailored to the agreed use of the images. Full details are provided before the project begins. View our license terms here and our copyright terms here.

Can other members of the project team use the images?

Yes. Additional licence holders can be included, making it easy for architects, developers, contractors and consultants to share and use the imagery. The costs are then shared across all parties, reducing the overall costs for everyone involved.

Can you photograph projects during construction as well as after completion?

Yes. We offer construction photography, progress photography and long-term project documentation, as well as completed building photography.
