Interior Photographer
Interior Photographer in Hampshire
Ryan Stanikk is an interior and architectural photographer based in Southampton, working across Hampshire for interior designers, hotels, holiday lets, restaurants and property developers. Sessions start from £220 for a focused two-hour shoot, with half-day rates around £475 and full-day rates around £900. The photography is built around how each space is meant to be experienced, paying close attention to colour rendering, lighting and composition rather than wide-angle shots that distort the proportions.
Most rooms in the UK aren't lit for a camera, they're lit for the people inside them. Ryan brings a full lighting kit to every interior shoot (large lantern softboxes, constant lights, and flash where useful) so that ambient lighting limitations never compromise the final result. Spaces look like themselves, only at their best.
What I Shoot
- Interior design portfolios. Completed-project documentation for interior designers, capturing each room's style, materials and lighting in a way the brief actually intended. Long-running collaboration with controlled, soft, accurate lighting across the whole space.
- Hotels and holiday lets. Bedrooms, suites, common areas, restaurant and bar spaces — set up to look inviting on a website hero, an OTA listing (Airbnb, Booking.com) and a printed brochure. Interior portfolio.
- Restaurants and bars. Venue interiors shot alongside food and drink, so a single visit covers the whole place. Food & drink portfolio.
- Residential property. High-end residential listings and renovation portfolios for estate agents, developers and homeowners.
- Commercial and office space. Workspace, retail and corporate interiors documented for marketing, leasing and brand-asset use.

How much does interior photography cost in Hampshire?
Interior photography sessions in Hampshire start from £220 for a focused two-hour shoot. Half-day rates are around £475 and full-day rates around £900. A typical hotel or holiday-let shoot covering 6 to 8 rooms is a half-day. Larger venue or designer-portfolio shoots are usually a full day.
Do you bring lighting to interior shoots?
Yes, on almost every shoot. Most rooms are lit for the people inside them rather than for a camera, which means relying on ambient lighting alone often produces awkward shadows and inaccurate colours. Bringing a full lighting kit (large lantern softboxes, constant lights, flash where useful) lets every space look like itself at its best.
Can interiors and other content be shot in the same session?
Yes. Most restaurant and hotel briefs combine interiors with food, drinks, exteriors and a few portraits in one efficient day. For interior designers, the brief usually focuses purely on the completed rooms.
What lenses do you use for interiors?
A mix. The Canon EOS R5 paired with prime and tilt-shift lenses for accurate, undistorted geometry, plus wider zooms for tight spaces. The aim is rooms that look like the human eye sees them, not the wide-angle distortion you sometimes see in over-stretched property listings.
How is the imagery delivered?
Edited, colour-managed files are delivered within five to seven working days. Files are sized for web, print and social, with portrait and landscape crops where you need them — useful for OTA listings, brochures and Instagram in one delivery.
Do you photograph for OTA platforms (Airbnb, Booking.com)?
Yes. Holiday-let and hotel imagery is regularly delivered in the dimensions and crop ratios each platform requires. The shoot is structured to make sure the most-used hero images (typically the master bedroom, kitchen and exterior) are captured first, in case time on site is limited.
Where in Hampshire do you cover?
