Blackpool Property Photography.

I’ve recently been asked by my website partner to say a few things about his new platform that I have signed up to and it’s totes free!

Here’s what me and Chat wrote:

PhotoPulse is built around photographers having more control over their work. You can have your own shop, decide what you make available, and choose whether your images are also offered through the wider marketplace. Most importantly, the licensing is clear, so buyers know what they’re actually purchasing and photographers know how their work is being used.

That matters to me. There are plenty of huge stock sites already, and I don’t see much point in adding another one just for the sake of it.

PhotoPulse feels more like a bridge between having your own photography business and being part of a marketplace — with the photographer still at the centre of it.

I’m pleased to be part of it, and genuinely think it’s worth a look.

So yes I endorse this message!!!

Anyway pleas check my shop out and if you’re a tog like me then please have a look and see what sets this one apart.

It’s great when you see some of your images used by news outlets in their articles about your client’s business. Here’s one I just spotted.

TIP OF THE DAY: Always make sure you see a photographer's work before you hire him or her.

Here is a review I was asked to give of another "Professional" photographer's work:

Having reviewed the images of ###x ###x taken previously, I noticed several technical issues, including blown highlights, converging verticals, misaligned horizontals, visible lens distortion, and inconsistent focus caused by a very shallow depth of field. It also appeared the entire shoot was done handheld rather than using a tripod, which likely contributed to those issues. The photographer delivered over 170 images in less than two hours. By comparison, I spent around four hours on the same property and delivered 45 carefully composed and edited images. My approach prioritises quality over quantity, taking the time to ensure accurate composition, sharp focus, straight lines, and consistent exposure so the final images present the property at its best.

I shot this lovely home in Thornton a couple of weeks ago and it’s just landed in the market. Absolutely worth every penny!

If you want your home to look this good send me a what’s app or DM

If you are selling your home, you will naturally want to achieve the highest price possible—but how is that realistic when every other property is listed on the same websites?

I know some agents that would tell you to hire someone like me and here's why:

The only real way to stand out is to make a strong first impression on your potential buyers. It’s not something you get a second chance at, so it has to be done right the first time. *

The key advantage of making a splash with high-quality imagery is that it subtly signals urgency. Potential buyers begin to assume that others will be making enquiries first thing in the morning.

Fear of loss is a powerful lever in sales—arguably far more effective than the promise of gain. I’ve seen properties sell for over the asking price, but only when there are multiple offers on the table and two or more buyers who simply don’t want to miss out!

The alternative, of course, is to let the other agents take the photos and make no splash at all. That’s when the real problems can begin. The longer a property sits on the market, the more its perceived value starts to slip. That sense of urgency disappears. You may still sell eventually—but achieving the full asking price becomes far less likely.and within three months, the agent will make that call all about reducing the price.

Solution?

Estate agents do understand the value of professional property photography, but the additional cost can make it harder for them to remain competitive in an already crowded market. In many cases, their fees have been squeezed to the point where there’s very little room to manoeuvre.

That said, if you make professional photography a condition of your business, you will often find an agent willing to accommodate it.

Failing that, you may need to cover the cost yourself—but if that’s the case, it’s worth viewing it as an investment rather than an expense. The relatively small outlay required to do this properly can deliver a strong return.

Imagine having your house shot for an estate agent and then the agent putting AI people in the shot! Penny for your thoughts on this one.
