MATTHEW LING PHOTOGRAPHY
Commercial Photography
Commercial Photographer Services in the Midlands
As Matthew Ling Photography, I have been providing high-quality images of commercial buildings and the environment for over 15 years. In that time I have worked with businesses ranging from globally recognised brands showcasing their multi-million pound constructions all the way to individuals trying to sell their homes and everything in between.
I approach every commission in the same way and use my passion for the built environment, coupled with the skills I have honed exclusively in this field and the high quality equipment I deploy, to create unique visual stories of the projects I cover.
A unique selling point of mine is that I offer unlimited licensing for all the images I produce. For one quoted price you get the shoot, all retouching and processing and the right to use the images in perpetuity for your web, print and social media needs.
I work throughout the UK from my base in the Midlands and would love to get involved if you have a design or build that you want to show in its best light. Please browse my extensive portfolio to get an idea of what I can accomplish with your design as my guide.

Why choose Matthew Ling photography?
Many professional photographers work in multiple disciplines and use a ‘Jack of all trades’ approach to their work. I decided 15 years ago to specialise in the photography that truly inspires me: The built environment.
Since 2009 I have worked exclusively to create stunning images within the following industries:
- Architecture
- Construction
- Interior design
- Hospitality
- Property
The skills I have acquired in these fields have helped me to develop my own visual language, a short hand to express the qualities of a design or build.
I shoot effectively and efficiently to capture the images that will express the commitment and passion you display in your work, whether it is an extension to a domestic building or a multi-million pound hospital, hotel or casino. I am at my happiest professionally when working to create a strong visual aesthetic for my clients, utilising a range of lenses and perspectives to garner a comprehensive overview of a project.
Architecture
I have worked with a range of clients in this field, from the UK’s largest practices such as Foster + Partners and Hawkins/Brown, to small domestic architects both regionally and nationwide. I am fascinated by design at all scales and love nothing more in my commercial life than examining and contemplating these spaces with my eye and camera.
I find a level of deep satisfaction when I compose imagery that I know will highlight the excellence my clients have achieved. The interplay between light and surface, between form and space and ultimately my capturing of those elements brings me a profound joy that I am proud to utilise for any business that requires visual representation for web, print and social media.
Construction
In progress photography can be a great way to showcase how a construction company operates. It can show potential clients everything that a construction company offers from the quality of materials used to the size and scale of the build in visual form. It can also be invaluable to showcase the many elements that come together to make a building complete, from the foundations up. Many clients I’ve worked with have utilised my skills to show a comprehensive 1-2 year series of shoots all the way from the groundbreaking ceremony to the opening if the building to the public.
I have worked with many large UK constructors including Tilbury Douglas, BASE, Kier and Balfour Beatty to help them show their remarkable abilities in this field. I have been on countless construction sites so have PPE ready and am well versed on the myriad of complications that can occur and how to deal with them onsite when required.
Interior Design
I have worked with Architectural interiors companies that operate globally, such as MacCauley Sinclair, as well as sole traders starting out on their interior design journey. Interior design photography demands an understanding of light and especially how natural and artificial light interact. Many a wonderful interior space has been ruined by a photographer not understanding this relationship. I use a delicate balance of natural and studio lighting to help display the talents of those that work to the most high standards to provide us with wonderful interior habitats and spaces.
Hospitality
People like to know what a potential hotel, AirBNB, casino, cinema or restaurant looks like before they attend. They will often not book unless they have a strong idea of the visual elements of these spaces. Of course if these places are not well photographed then that can be worse than no photographs at all.
Consumers rely on these visuals to give them confidence in their booking. I’m able to showcase the best that these clients have to offer, attracting more of the public to their businesses.
Property
It is extremely rare for someone to buy or even rent a property without images. This is true from a single domestic dwelling to a luxury student apartment building. With my property photography I have aided in the selling of billions of pounds worth of real estate, offering photos for my clients that stick out of the crowd on rightmove, AirBNB and hotels.com as well as many others.
It is well known in the industry that professional photography (including virtual tours that I also offer) can radically speed up the sale of a property when compared to flat, badly composed phone shots used by many estate agents. I offer a service that will enable you to get moving quicker to your next dream home.
I typically will produce the final images of your property within 24 hours of our appointment, delivered to you via email.
