Property Photographer based in Newbury, Berkshire

Berkshire | Oxfordshire | London

Property photography that gets properties noticed and sold

First impressions happen online, long before a viewing is booked. In a market where buyers and tenants scroll past dozens of listings in seconds, the quality of your photography is often the difference between a property that generates enquiries and one that sits unseen.

I’m Yan Pekar, a professional photographer based in Newbury, Berkshire, working with estate agents, landlords and property managers across West Berkshire and Oxfordshire, including Newbury, Thatcham, Hungerford, Wokingham, Reading, Abingdon, Didcot and Oxford. With over 15 years’ expertise, I bring the same attention to detail, reliability and consistency to every property I shoot, whether it’s a two-bedroom cottage, a Michelin-star restaurant, or a boutique hotel.

I understand that for estate agents, every listing represents a client relationship and a reputation to protect. My goal is simple: to make the photography part of your process effortless, and to deliver images that help your properties sell or let as quickly as possible.

Why professional photography matters for your listings

Most people make their first judgement about a property within seconds of seeing the photos. Poor lighting, wide-angle distortion, or a handful of rushed phone snaps can undersell even the most attractive home and can cost agents and landlords weeks on the market, or worse, a lower asking price.

Well-lit, carefully composed photography does the opposite. It:

Generates more clicks and enquiries on Rightmove, Zoopla, OnTheMarket and your own website.
Helps a property sell or let faster, reducing time on the market and void periods.
Helps to justify the asking price by presenting the property at its genuine best.
Builds trust with buyers and tenants, who expect the same visual standard from a property listing as they do from any other online purchase.
Reflects well on your agency’s brand, positioning you as a professional who takes presentation seriously.
For landlords and agents managing multiple instructions, consistent, high-quality imagery across every listing also makes your portfolio look more cohesive and credible, which is something prospective vendors notice when choosing which agency to instruct.

Covering West Berkshire and Oxfordshire and beyond

Based in Newbury, I’m ideally placed to cover estate agencies and property owners throughout West Berkshire (Newbury, Thatcham, Hungerford, etc.) and Oxfordshire (Oxford, Abingdon, Didcot, Wantage, Wallingford), with coverage across Reading, Wokingham, and the wider Thames Valley. For agencies with instructions further afield, London and the rest of the UK can also be arranged.

Residential property photography

I can photograph homes across West Berkshire and Oxfordshire for sale and to let, from period cottages and family houses to new-build developments and city apartments. Whether you’re an estate agent managing a busy portfolio or a private landlord preparing a single rental listing, the aim is the same: images that do justice to the property and work hard for you online.

The service is built around what actually helps a listing perform:

Bright, true-to-life interior and exterior photography.
Careful composition that shows rooms at their best without misleading distortion.
Natural light where possible, complemented by off-camera lighting for darker rooms.
Twilight and dusk photography available for kerb-appeal shots that stand out on portals.
Quick turnaround, so your listing goes live without delay.
Straightforward pricing with no hidden extras.

Photography for commercial and hospitality properties

Beyond residential sales and lettings, I also photograph commercial premises across the region, – restaurants, cafés, clinics, hotels, offices and retail units, – for owners, agents and hospitality businesses looking to market a space, attract investment, or simply refresh their online presence.

This work draws directly on my background in corporate and event photography, where I’ve spent over a decade photographing venues, conferences, congresses, and high-profile spaces for international brands. That experience means I understand how to photograph a commercial interior so it communicates atmosphere and quality, not just square footage.

Services include

Flexible scheduling around business hours, including morning or evening shoots to avoid disrupting trade
Interior and exterior photography for restaurants, clinics, offices, hotels, pubs, and bars
Residential and commercial property photography for sale or lease listings
Photography for brochures, websites and marketing materials
