UK interior photography

Lifestyle and interiors photography

Northlight Images are professional commercial photographers based on Leicester in the UK East Midlands (Northampton, Nottingham and Derby). We provide interior design, lifestyle and architectural photography services throughout the UK.

As specialist architectural and interior photographers, our specialised lenses, cameras and software allow us to produce a much wider range of interesting creative options and views

We like to use natural and available lighting whenever possible. We use additional lighting only when needed, and only when it compliments the interior, which means better looking photos.

Our aim is to help interior designs, developers and property professionals get the lifestyle and interior photographs they want. We firmly believe that the photos we supply will show your location – whether it be a showflat, conversion or restoration – at its best.

All the images we supply are available at high resolution and can be used for print or web use.

Why you should use us...

• Creative quality - We take time to understand what is needed and what you want to convey in your photographs - we work with designers, stylists and architects to get it just right.

• Flexible timing - we're happy to work at the times that your location looks its best. Night time photography and early mornings are no problem for us.

• Commercial photography only - this is the photography we're passionate about - you're working with a specialist photographer of the built and natural environment.

• Straightforward pricing - uncomplicated pricing to match client requirements (below right)

• Rapid service - our photos are usually available the day after a shoot.

• Images for web and print - we can supply images optimised for web use and very high resolution for print.

• Image retouching - an expert image retouching (photoshop) service is available when needed.

• Exhibition quality fine art quality prints - both large prints of our work, and decorative prints for interior design, are available.

What we supply

We always provide images in what ever digital formats you require, whether JPEGs or 'print ready' at 300dpi and whatever size you need, in either TIFF or Photoshop PSD formats.

For our large panoramic extreme resolution interior images we have supplied high resolution files in excess of 11GB

We can produce CD/DVD based 'web galleries' of your interior photos and will be pleased to quote for any additional image enhancement, perspective correction or processing work that you may require.

Prints are available to special order.

As a specialised international professional photographer, our aim is to show your interiors off at their very best.

Please note that most of the photos on this page are pretty much straight out of the camera - we're looking to showcase our photography skills here rather than our Photoshop ones.

A few photos in our commercial photography examples, such as the Moon rising over Leicester Space Centre, have been more obviously edited, since we offer full digital retouching and editing services.

Interior Photography

Our interior work is part of our wider range of commercial photography services covering the natural and built environment.

There is more information on this site covering our photography services for construction projects and architects, which along with our commercial landscape photography service, is available throughout the UK.

Photography for Commercial Property

Commercial property photography – interior or exterior - for new offices and other business locations.

Whether you are looking for striking imagery, pictures to illustrate a brochure, or promotional images for your web site we can help.

We often work for sub-contractors and suppliers, where our photos are used to illustrate their products in situ.
