Photography starts from £150 for a studio or a home with up to 3 bedrooms. Four or more bedrooms, several properties and unusual spaces are quoted individually, before the shoot. No call-out fee, the shoot itself is not priced per image, and nothing is added that you have not agreed: tell me about the property and I'll arrange a time, your price and your shoot, with the full price before anything is booked. Optional edits such as virtual staging are priced before you book. Build your photography quote

What I photograph in Manchester
City-centre apartment blocks through Ancoats, Deansgate and Salford Quays, serviced-accommodation units let nightly rather than sold, and period semis out in Didsbury, Chorlton and Whalley Range.

How a shoot in Manchester actually runs
High-floor apartments are the hardest job on this list. The window is the selling point and it is four stops brighter than the room, so every frame is bracketed and blended or the view goes white. Add an hour for access, lifts and parking — it is the reason Manchester is priced above the towns nearer home even before the mileage.
Who books this in Manchester
Serviced accommodation operators more than anyone else. A unit let nightly lives or dies on the first three photographs on the listing, and unlike a sale listing it earns from them every week for years — which is why it is worth shooting properly once rather than cheaply twice.
Where I go in and around Manchester
M1–M23, including:
- Ancoats
- Northern Quarter
- Deansgate
- Castlefield
- Salford Quays
- Didsbury
- Chorlton
- Whalley Range
Just outside that list? Ask anyway. The price only moves with the mileage, so a few miles further is a few pounds — not a different quote.
What clients say
The property photos were stunning and helped the listing stand out instantly.
Common questions
How much is property photography in Manchester?+
Photography starts from £150 for a studio or a home with up to 3 bedrooms. Four or more bedrooms, several properties and unusual spaces are quoted individually, before the shoot. Manchester is about 25 road miles from Halifax: the first 10 miles of travel are free, and the rest is added to your quote.

Do you actually travel to Manchester, or is it subcontracted?+
I drive there myself. Foldscapes is a one-person studio — Mustafa Haroon takes the photographs, edits them and sends them over. It is about a 45-minute drive from Halifax, so a morning slot in Manchester is straightforward.
Which Manchester postcodes do you cover?+
M1–M23. If you are just outside that, ask anyway — the travel only moves with the mileage, so a few miles further is a few pounds, not a different quote.
