Looking for a professional property photographer in Somerset? You’ve found the right person. I’m Simon Plant, and I’ve been capturing properties across Somerset for over 20 years, working with everyone from major developers like Persimmon Homes and Bovis Homes to independent estate agents and holiday rental companies.
Based in the heart of Somerset, I understand what makes properties in our county special – from Georgian townhouses in Taunton to rural retreats on Exmoor, and everything in between.

- Estate Agents: Throughout Taunton, Bridgwater, Yeovil, and South Somerset
This experience means I understand exactly what potential buyers and holiday guests respond to – and how to capture it efficiently without disrupting your schedule.

Pricing & Individual QuotesProfessional property photography in Somerset typically starts from £250.00 per property, depending on several key factors discussed below.
Why Every Property is Quoted Individually
Every property is quoted individually because requirements vary significantly depending on size, complexity, and specific needs. A shepherd’s hut or small apartment requires vastly different time investment compared to a six-bedroom Grade II listed manor house with extensive grounds.
Factors affecting your quote:
Property complexity:
- Small properties: Studios, flats, shepherd huts – efficient shooting and processing
- Standard homes: 2-4 bedrooms with typical room layouts
- Large properties: 5+ bedrooms, period features, multiple reception rooms
- Listed buildings: Grade II properties requiring careful attention to architectural details
Additional requirements:
- Drone photography: Essential for properties with significant land or unique locations
- Outbuildings: Barns, stables, workshops, guest accommodations
- Extensive grounds: Gardens, paddocks, woodland requiring comprehensive coverage
- Special features: Swimming pools, tennis courts, unique architectural elements
Time Investment & Expertise
Shooting ratios matter. Approximately every hour spent on location requires two additional hours in post-processing – particularly for properties with intricate interior design, period features, or challenging lighting conditions that demand meticulous attention to detail.
This means:
- Simple properties: 3-4 hours total (1-1.5 hours shooting + 2-3 hours processing)
- Standard properties: 6-8 hours total (2-3 hours shooting + 4-5 hours processing)
- Complex properties: 9-12 hours total (3-4 hours shooting + 6-8 hours processing)
- Luxury/listed properties: 12+ hours total (4+ hours shooting + 8+ hours advanced retouching)
The result? Every quote reflects the actual time and expertise required to showcase your specific property at its absolute best.
