monochrome aerial of a suburban property — headshots context shot for pre-sale headshots briefs

Purpose · Portrait & Headshot Photography

Portrait & Headshot Photography to run before you list

A pre-sale sits in a specific piece of the city; the headshots has to reflect that or it stops being useful. Owners preparing to list want the property to arrive on portal at its best — the shoot is scoped around that first-impression moment on Rightmove and OnTheMarket.

Context

Pre-sale photography is a first-impression brief.

Concretely, 5–10 retouched headshots per sitter, delivered in colour and B&W. Every frame is checked at portal-crop size before we leave the site.

Constraints

What shapes the shoot

  • Rooms need to be dressed at the vendor level, not staged professionally — the shoot is booked once furniture is in place.
  • Portal images resize hard; framing is planned for the thumbnail crop as well as the full view.
  • External weather window matters — the exterior hero is scheduled to the best-lit hour available.

Captured

What comes back

  • Portal-ready hero exterior
  • Living room and kitchen wides
  • Master bedroom
  • Garden or outdoor space
  • Optional aerial for context
