Fully Furnished - The Furniture Union Shoot

Okay, I'm not gonna lie. A lot of the time this blog is just a vehicle to show off some lovely new photographs. And why not? It's our trade after all and we're good at it (Not meaning to be boastful, of course!). Plus we hear that google likes something new and a little boost to SEO performance wouldn't go amiss!

We are fortunate to work with a variety of super clients all over London ranging from estate agents to developers to architects and interior designers. And we like our property photography to come in various guises. It keeps us on our toes and stokes the inner embers of inspiration. Okay, I'll stop there!

The Furniture Union, a company who specialise in furnishing and interior design products invited us to shoot this fantastic property in Paddington, not far from Hyde Park and Imperial College. We found a marvellous new-build house on a private road decked out in stylish and elegant furnishings - and TFU had installed the kitchen and bathrooms to a high spec too.

Take a look at the wonderful results - I'd quite happily have this as my London pad. Just sayin'!

The Bagel Factory - Flats For Sale In Hackney Wick

The Bagel Factory is a new, 140 flat development in the heart of Hackney Wick from Aitch Group property developers. Meticulously designed by Hawkins Brown, BuckleyGrayYeoman, and HWO Architects, the style of the apartments and decor reflects the industrial heritage of the area, and also the large artist population which makes Hackney Wick such a vibrant place to be.

The Bagel Factory is also on the Help To Buy scheme, an increasingly popular option in a tough London property market.

Here is some of our work from a half day shoot at this beautifully presented show flat for the development.

The selection from the bedrooms is lovely - we particularly like the wall of floor to ceiling Crittall windows, perfect for a renovated industrial building.

The urban chic in the bathroom here is softened with some greenery. The parquet-effect wall tiles are a particularly effective touch.

Colour choice in the kitchen is perfect for the industrial heritage theme.

The renovated warehouse feel of the exposed brick wall is offset by plain, light walls elsewhere, with soothing greys in the flooring and more of those fantastic steel windows.

A secluded, private balcony finishes this show flat off nicely!

To register your interest in a new home at The Bagel Factory, please contact the Aitch Group on 020 8504 4500 or

Two Fifty One - Southwark Bridge Road

One of the best things about working in London is the architectural innovation and the chance to shoot in a built up environment with so many iconic landmarks. One such occasion for us was visiting Two Fifty One on Southwark Bridge Road. This new development has that almost space-age feel to it, and the perfect weather complemented the facade, and comes with spectacular views of the fabulous London skyline.

Here's what we got up to...

We had some really dramatic skies when we visited this location, with the strong winds causing the shot to change every few seconds. We love how the blue reflects off one side of Two Fifty One, and the moody grey on the other is so atmospheric.

On the one hand, shooting high rise buildings in heavily urban areas can be tricky because there frequently isn't enough space to get the full structure into perspective. But on the other, we get to play around with angles that show off the imposing nature of the edifice, and, in this case, of the geometric architecture.

And, of course, we get to appreciate the stark contrast of aeroplanes and helicopters across the skies, which provide a nice juxtaposition.

And onto those fantastic views! Can you spot St Paul's Cathedral?

Swivelling round to the right, we take in the Walkie-Talkie and the Cheesegrater (a.k.a 20 Fenchurch Street and 122 Leadenhall Street)

Great contrast of old and new - Here we see the Westminster on the right and the ever-dominant London Eye, which when night falls is lit up and really makes the London skyline.

And let's finish up with the imposing Shard, standing 309.6m tall, comprising 95 storeys. Not a bad view to be greeted with in the morning!

Shooting Hoarding, Building Wraps and Banners

We recently had the pleasure of shooting some of Lavastar's excellent work in Clapham Park. Lavastar produce high end hoarding, building wraps and banners for buildings, all the way from design to installation and everything in between, and asked us to step in and get some shots of their final products.

As this beautiful work shows, hoarding can be a fantastic opportunity for advertising, if you do it right. These awesome and eye-catching designs were created by Better Brand Agency, and they hit just the right note between blending sympathetically with the green environment and standing out with bright colours.

Check out some of our shots from the day...

Best property for a 3D walkthrough so far

The second instalment in what is becoming 'The Borough Mansions' series, saw Pixangle go back to this shiny new build development in the heart of SE1 to capture a 3D walkthrough tour. The development spans 6 floors and comprises a lower ground floor commercial space, three single level apartments and a duplex penthouse apartment - where the views are most striking!

But the beauty is we can dispense with the words and just explore at your leisure.

Check it out! (Or 'THIS', as people say)
