About
Information about Neil Lamont, specialist architecture, real estate and hotel photographer.

Nowadays, we're researching everything online and it's pictures that grab our attention.
Photographs of properties provide a person with their first impression of a place. This not only needs to be positive but research shows your website only has a few moments to capture a visitor's attention.
"A picture is worth a thousand words" is a well-known phrase because it’s true: a single image can communicate more effectively and quickly than a lengthy verbal description.
Neil specialises in taking high quality photographs that capture the full range of colours and textures, the subtle variations in lighting and atmosphere of different spaces. All the elements that evoke an emotional response from the viewer.
Neil understands that it’s crucial to capture the best views of the interiors and exteriors of a building. He operates quietly and discretely, and works collaborately with the client to minimise any disruption while he takes the photographs.
But taking the photographs is only one half of the process – processing the images after they’re taken is probably more important. Neil is expert at enhancing the photographs he takes but with great care to be truthful to the reality of the property.
The "wow" factor of these photographs will differentiate your business from the competition, and increase your viewings and bookings.
“Good morning Neil, just wanted to say thank you, the photos of Quinta Pequena are excellent and very well done, you are a true craftsman of the art of photography. With photos like these the property will stand out in the marketplace, which makes selling it that much easier.”
– Ken Laidlaw, Operations Director, Hux & Gold Real Estate Facilitators, Portugal
“Neil Lamont has become an extension of our marketing department and our first choice for high quality, eye catching imagery. The strong depth of detail, colour and lighting in Neil’s photography has become an integral part of our branding and really portrays our hotels as the beautiful, picturesque locations that they are. Both Neil’s knowledge and attention to detail make him a highly valuable extension to our business.”
“Neil Lamont has become The Capital’s first choice for photographing our individually styled hotel rooms and public areas, due to his unique skills in capturing beautiful, high quality images with an eye for the perfect angle to really highlight the unique features of each space.
Understanding of the challenges that can arise when shooting in a busy hotel, Neil is always considerate and unobtrusive while photographing guest areas and is a valuable asset to The Capital team.”
