South West
'26
We’ve been out filming and photographing standout homes for By Design South West, and it reminded us why we love property work. A well-built home deserves more than a few quick phone snaps on a listing. It deserves to be shown the way it feels when you walk through the front door. Using cinematic walkthroughs, natural interior photography and drone footage, we set out to capture each home’s character, design and setting.
The Brief.
By Design South West needed their properties to stop people mid-scroll. Most buyers decide whether to book a viewing within seconds of seeing a listing. Photos get them to pause; video gets them working out where the sofa would go. The brief was to show each home properly: how the rooms flow together, where the light falls and what the view is really like, which is tricky to get across on a floor plan. A quick chat about each property and who they wanted to reach, then we planned the shots and picked a day with decent light. Most homes took a morning or an afternoon, weather permitting (this is Devon, after all).
What we delivered.
A short cinematic walkthrough film, natural-light interior photography, drone footage of the plot and surrounding countryside, and detail shots of the kitchens, materials and finishes, all sized for their website, Rightmove, Zoopla and social media.
The problem we solved.
Flat, over-processed listing media can make a great home look ordinary. Our films gives By Design South West a way to show buyers what makes each build special and get more of the right people through the door. We film and photograph properties across Devon, Cornwall, Somerset and Dorset for estate agents, developers, architects and holiday let owners. Got a project in the South West? Get in touch.
