Ferry Gait Crescent, Silverknowes - Edinburgh Property Photographer

According to Wikipedia, the district of Silverknowes contains approximately 2000 homes, mostly built during the 20th century. Until the 1930’s Silverknowes was mostly open farmland.

This two bedroom serviced accommodation is located northwest of the city centre, in a quiet area. It is relatively close to Silverknowes golf club and Silverknowes beach. Bus no29 gets you into town. This is a relatively new built and the flat is on the ground floor.

bedroom of serviced accommodation on Ferry Gait Crescent, Silverknowes, Edinburgh — This is the smaller of the two bedrooms. I really like the pale blue colour of the walls.

View to the outside from bedroom — The same bedroom from a different angle showing the closet. Potential customers would probably want to know there is some storage space for their clothes

Large bedroom with view to the outside, Ferry Gait Crescent, Edinburgh — The other, and larger, bedroom

Detail of bed — I really like to take detail shots of the property. It’s good for serviced accommodations, hotels and interior designers

The weather was partly cloudy, with the clouds moving in and out quite fast. This can pose technical problems. As I photograph with natural light and the exteriors are typically much, much brighter than the interior, I take a number of shots with different exposures (“bracketing” is the term photographers use) I later combine in Photoshop. When clouds move in and out as the exposure can change in the middle of my “bracket”. The solution is patience and bracketing as fast as possible.

Kitchen of two bedroom service accommodation — Kitchen amenities. Tricky to photograph with all of the reflecting surfaces. You don’t want to see your reflection in there.

Given that potential customers can only judge the flat by the pictures on Booking.com or Airbnb, it is important to have very good quality photographs to showcase your serviced accommodation.
