So you’ve spent months perhaps even years pouring your soul, expertise and knowledge into your latest interior or architectural design, now it’s time to capture the essence of that design into professionally made images to show them to the world across various platforms.
Since 2006 I’ve been helping my clients bring their unique visions to life in photographs for their own portfolios, websites, social channels, awards entries, and magazine publications. In that time I have been widely published throughout the UK and beyond into Europe and the US, not to mention co-authoring a definitive book on Glasgow interiors with Helen Kendrick.
I work closely with my clients to get to the core of their ideas in their designs and find not just the important details, but the overall thinking behind what they’re trying to achieve, and how I can translate that into a stunning set of images that will help their business stand out through their own unique design language.
My workflow has been carefully thought out to make sure I can collaborate with my clients as swiftly and naturally as possible, both on location and later in post-production. I encourage collaboration on location if my clients wish to do so, if they prefer to leave that part to me, I ensure that we have a thorough meeting to look over the location and designs to establish a shot list based on the pertinent design aspects they want to emphasise in the images.
I have a long track record of photographing a very diverse range of buildings and interiors, from churches to modern offices, bespoke residential interiors to healthcare, the list goes on. With each new challenge I employ the same attention to detail, making sure there is a consistency in my output throughout any space I turn my lens on, producing images that will grab any potential client's attention. And while my specialist areas are interiors/architecture, the skill set I've developed for these subjects can be very successfully transferred to other areas of photography as you will see from the images in my featured section on here, having photographed some successful advertising campaigns for drinks/hospitality/employment sectors.
This skill set is thankfully transferable across a lot of the different types of commissions I take on despite primarily photographing the built environment, have a browse through my various galleries and you see the same attention to detail and consistency of finished images no matter what I turn my lens on.
I'm based in Glasgow and work throughout the United Kingdom, from the top of Scotland all the way down to London and everything in between. I have built up a wide and loyal client base, through my friendly and professional service and my ability to work on a wide variety of commissions. As well as architectural photography and interior photography, I also work in the following areas:
Commercial photography
Product Photography
Industrial & corporate photography
Location photography
Portrait photography
Visual impact assessment photography
Please take time to look through my various galleries, and you’ll find I can turn my hand and lens to many different subjects, with consistent results, that keep my clients coming back. I have made an effort to keep it simple, and keep the focus on the images, which is why you’re here.
I offer a very flexible range of licenses to use my images to all my clients, you all have quite different needs at the end of the day and I aim to cater for all of them from smaller commissions to larger commercial ones. You can find out more on the PDF downloads below.

GLASGOW INTERIORS
I published my first book with author Helen Kendrick in 2014 on historical Glasgow Interiors, which has been well received. Both Helen and I have presented the book to a large audience at Glasgow's book festival 'Aye Write' on the back of it's success.

‘The coffee table treatment gives [these classic buildings] added wow factor’ – Scottish Homes & Interiors Glasgow has a spectacular array of buildings and is internationally renowned for its history of architectural innovation, design excellence and unique brand of urban glamour, both cosmopolitan and gritty. But unlike other world-class cities – London, Paris, New York among them – until now there has been no publication to showcase the interiors of Glasgow’s built heritage.
This book offers a glimpse into a selection of Glasgow’s most impressive historic interiors. Featuring 33 of the city’s most alluring buildings – both public and private – Glasgow Interiors tells the story of the city’s built heritage over the past 150 years.
From a dramatic Victorian swimming bath and a glittering art deco restaurant to intricately detailed art nouveau warehouses and imposing Edwardian townhouses in the city’s West End, this book demonstrates the extraordinary wealth of interiors that lie behind the façades of Glasgow’s buildings.

Noel Mack - Chief Brand Office @ Gymshark
We used Neale to photograph our brand new 4.2 million pound development. Naturally after spending that sort of money we wanted to show the true beauty of what we had created. He did not let us down. Top chap who I would and have since recommended to many other people. Don't hesitate!
Darren McCann, Partnership Manager at CCG Scotland Ltd
"CCG have commissioned Neale on a few occasions now – taking in completed buildings and also action shots at our Off Site Manufacturing and Window & Door production facilities. On each occasion he quickly got to grips with the specifics of what we were looking for and then produced superb photo-sets which have proven invaluable in our promotional activity."
Alex Beardsley MCIM Chartered Marketer

"I have never met Neale but I have worked with him on a recent project for one of my most valued clients. Neale took on our architectural photography project and worked to a tight schedule, a woolly brief and in 4ft of snow and the end result was fantastic. I was pleased, my clients were delighted and the photographs he took increased the CTR from email to website...I would recommend Neale to anyone looking to work with a proficient commercial photographer."
John Wingate
Award winning architectural and workplace design - www.jamstudio.uk.com
"JAMstudio appointed Neale Smith Photography to take interior photos of a recently completed project which was the newly refurbished and enhanced Dalmore Distillery visitor centre.
Neale successfully captured all of the images we wanted of the completed project and provided the images to us within the set deadline. We found Neale very enthusiastic and easy to deal with, and we would therefore have no hesitation in recommending him. We look forward to working with Neale again soon"
