Property Photography for universities and colleges

Constraints

FAQs
Questions we hear
How are the files organised?
Delivered by building and by space so the marketing team can find frames again in a year.
Can you cover multiple buildings in one visit?
Yes — the route is timed in advance so the estate is covered in a single planned day where possible.
Can you fit dusk shots in Chester?
Dusk windows in Chester are booked around the sunset time on the day; we plan the schedule the morning of the shoot.
How long does a property shoot in Chester take?
A standard Chester home with mediaeval rows typically shoots in 60–90 minutes.
Do you cover lettings as well as sales in Chester?
Yes — we shoot churn lettings stock across CH1 on a rolling weekly slot.
Proof
Where this has worked
Campus sets tend to be drawn on for years, so the library is built for reuse rather than for one campaign.
