Western Harbour, Newhaven

Master bedroom, serviced accommodation, Edinburgh

I photographed this two bedroom serviced accommodation on Western Harbour Newhaven for a private property investor. “Formerly a village and harbour on the Firth of Forth, it had a population of approximately 5,000 inhabitants at the 1991 census. Newhaven was designated a conservation area, one of 40 such areas in Edinburgh, in 1977” according to Wikipedia.

Living room in front with dining area and kitchen at the back. There is plenty of light coming into the property through the large windows

The weather was sunny on the day of the shoot, but the sun rays never directly entered the property. My favourite situation. A good soft quality of light with blue sky through the window (sometimes).

The flat owner had decorated the place nicely, so I had to show some of the details, in particular the dressed dinner table

The landlord of this Western Harbour Newhaven serviced accommodation understood the need for professional photography. You wouldn’t go to a job interview badly dressed and make a dubious impression. Similarly, you want your property to look its best on sites like booking.com or aibnb.com. It might be more important now than ever with the supply likely to exceed the demand for some time after the pandemic.

I like to take such detail shots for serviced accommodations or interior designers
