Capturing Luxury: Property Photography & Video in Cornwall with Jack Westhead

Cornwall’s coastal charm and countryside elegance make it the perfect setting for high-end homes, luxury holiday rentals, and boutique developments. But to truly showcase these spaces, stunning visuals are essential.

At Jack Westhead Photography, we specialise in crafting authentic property photography and cinematic video tours that bring spaces to life. From wide-angle architectural shots to detail-rich interior imagery, every element is captured with care, precision, and purpose.

Why Luxury Property Photography Matters

In a saturated online market, first impressions are everything. Exceptional photography isn’t just about showing a property—it’s about selling a lifestyle. The way a space is lit, styled, and presented can dramatically affect engagement, bookings, or sale value. 

You also want the images to reflect how great the property is in real life, capturing the perfect natural light and not over exposed images that look completely different in person. (We’ve had a few people book with our company for this very reason, we believe in authentic capture, not over editing!). 

Whether you’re a property developer, estate agent, Airbnb host, or private homeowner, investing in professional visuals helps you:

  • Increase visibility on listing platforms

  • Generate more interest and enquiries

  • Highlight your property’s unique features

  • Build trust and credibility with high-end audiences

How to Prepare Your Property for a Shoot

To get the most out of your photography session, a little preparation goes a long way. Here are two key areas that make a huge difference:

How to Style a Property for Photography

  1. Declutter Ruthlessly

    Clear surfaces, hide cords, remove bins and any personal items. Minimal spaces feel larger, cleaner, and more luxurious.

  2. Layer with Texture & Tone

    Use throws, cushions, rugs, and fresh bedding to create warmth and contrast. Neutral tones work best for luxury styling.

  3. Add Subtle Lifestyle Details

    A stack of design books, a vase of fresh flowers, or a styled breakfast table can add just enough personality—without being distracting.

  4. Clean Every Surface

    The camera sees everything. Make sure windows, chrome products, mirrors, floors, and countertops sparkle.

🎥 How to Plan a Luxury Video Tour That Sells

  1. Plan the Journey

    Think about how someone would naturally move through the space. Start at the entrance, then flow through living areas, bedrooms, bathrooms, and finally outdoor spaces.

  2. Create Ambience

    Soft natural lighting, open windows, and even subtle background music or real ambient sounds (like ocean waves or birdsong) can make your video feel immersive.

  3. Keep It Smooth

    We use professional stabilisation to ensure every pan, tilt, and transition is seamless—giving viewers the feeling of truly moving through the property.

  4. Highlight the Experience, Not Just the Space

    Focus on what makes your property special. Is it the morning sun in the conservatory? The view from the bath? The texture of handmade tiles? That’s what people remember.

Let Your Property Speak for Itself

Professional photography and video can transform how people see your space. More than visuals, it’s a marketing tool that sets the tone, tells the story, and attracts the right audience.

Whether you’re preparing to list a holiday let, sell a premium home, or elevate your Airbnb portfolio, we’re here to help you show it in its best light.
