Why Scott's photography sells homes faster | Meet our Creative Team
We always say that selling a home is about more than bricks and mortar, it’s about capturing a lifestyle. That’s where Scott comes in.
Scott is our in-house photographer and videographer, and while he’s far too modest to say it himself, we’ll say it for him: his work helps homes sell quicker and for more. Why? Because he doesn’t just photograph a house. He captures the feeling of living there.
Here’s how he does it…
Telling a story
Most property photography jumps room to room. Click-click-click. Done.
Scott does it differently. He maps out a natural flow through the home, helping buyers understand how it feels to move through the space, not just how it looks. From a welcoming hallway to a light-filled kitchen-diner, and then out into the garden...it’s all about movement, rhythm and story.
Because when buyers feel how a home works, they can picture themselves living there. And that’s when the magic happens!
Lighting tips and tricks
Scott’s not just turning up with a camera and hoping for the best. He’s watching the light. The way it falls through the windows in the morning, the softness it gives a room at dusk, the glow it casts over a garden in the early evening.
He times each shoot to perfection, so your home is seen in its very best light, literally. For high-end homes, he’ll even stay until after sunset to capture dusk shots that add warmth, mood and a glossy, editorial finish. Think magazine spread, not standard listing.
Home staging & behind-the-scenes magic
Before we list any home, we’ll send you advice on staging including quick, thoughtful changes to get your home photo-ready.
When Scott arrives, you'll find he sometimes requests to move things ever so slightly. Adjust the lighting. Pull a curtain back to let in a slant of light. Add a splash of colour with a cushion or a plant. He might even pop to his car and return with a throw, a mug, or a vase of fresh flowers.
It’s not about making your home look like someone else’s, it’s about highlighting its best bits. The way the sun hits the reading nook. The glow from the fireplace. That perfect breakfast spot at the kitchen island. It's all about the little details that make all the difference.
Pets and personality...
In Cardiff, we know buyers value that sense of homeliness just as much as the square footage. They want to connect. To imagine Sunday mornings and cosy evenings.
So something we've become known for is including pets in properties. Dubbed 'The Pet Whisperer' by many of us in the office, Scott often asks vendors if they'd like to include their pets in the shoot - maybe a dog dozing by the fire during the winter seasons, or a cat walking through your garden on a sunny day. These aren’t just cute extras, they add charm, personality and warmth.
Not just the home, but the lifestyle...
Of course, buyers aren’t just buying four walls, they’re choosing Cardiff, and a specific part of Cardiff at that.
So Scott’s videos don’t stop at the doorstep. He often captures the parks, cafés and leafy walks that make your neighbourhood what it is. From the peaceful appeal of Roath Park being on your doorstep, to the buzz of city centre living, he highlights the things that matter to buyers when it comes to the area, creating an emotional connection that goes beyond the property itself. That connection is what sells homes faster, and for more.
