Throughout 2026 I’ve been working with a London based construction and interior design company to capture various stages of their projects. With some projects they’re very much a work in progress, while others are either nearing completion or finished. Throughout this article I break down one of my favourite luxury apartment photography projects that I’ve ever worked on.
London Property Photography with Natural Light
Located in the heart of Holland Park, Kensington, this luxury residence would be the dream home of many people. Almost every room boasted windows from knee to ceiling height. Fortunately for me, plenty of natural light made it’s way in throughout the entire shoot. And with two layers of curtains, I could make use of natural light shining through the first layer while hiding the blackout curtains from view.
Working with natural light is always a huge bonus. Firstly it saves a lot of time. If setting up lights to showcase a particular room or piece of furniture, this can take up much of the day just for a handful of shots. Also I believe when an experienced interior designer starts planning a project like this, they do so to showcase the property at it’s best when natural light pours in.
Finding the Perfect Composition
Decorated with warm, natural tones and curated art pieces in most rooms, this Kensington based property really was a dream to photograph. Armed with just my camera, tripod and two prime lenses, I got to work.
With properties like this, I always feel as though I’m cheating. With the heavy lifting already performed by the designers, construction team and the creatives involved with the decorating. I just turn up and click. Ok, it’s not quite that simple. But when almost every angle is so flattering, it becomes an easy and enjoyable task to capture the required photos.
As with all architectural and interiors photography I try my best to make use of the creativity introduced before me. Anything from leading lines to symmetry and beyond. When the arrangement of tables, shelves, display units, sofas and more run parallel, I can really lean into this to enhance the overall look in the photos. Translating the work of others into eye-catching photographs.
Project Gallery
Within 24 hours of photographing the property in this article I delivered over 140 edited images. Here are a handful more of my favourites from the shoot.
