Estate Agent Marketing Photography for Ancoats and Stockport mill schemes
Getting estate agent marketing right on a mill conversion is less about gear and more about knowing what the picture is trying to say. Red-brick mill conversions in Ancoats, Stockport and Bolton bring long window bays, cast-iron columns and deep floor plates — the shoot is a study in line and rhythm.

Constraints
What shapes the shoot
- •Deep floor plates leave the interior far from any window; the fill has to be layered rather than blasted.
- •Historic sash frames sit inside deep reveals; a rise-and-shift lens preserves geometry.
- •Roof access for aerial framing is limited by the parapet and adjoining plots.
