Interior Photography in the Highlands - Karen Thorburn Photography

Please scroll down to view a few favourites from my portfolio of architectural and interior photography captured in the Highlands, Inverness and Moray, and throughout the north of Scotland. This portfolio will give you a feel for my style of interior photography. There are a lot of images on this page so please bear with me if it takes a second or two to load!

High standards

I shoot wide but never to the point of distortion. I’m always super careful to make sure that the lines in a room appear straight on a photograph. I’d always rather capture a couple of different angles than compromise on the quality of the photography.

Bright images with warm tones

Some photographers only shoot with the lights off. However, I prefer to work with the lights on and to mix this with ambient light. The result is bright images with warm and welcoming tones. I want the viewer to feel that they could just walk into any of the rooms!

An eye for detail

I take my time setting up my compositions, tugging creases out of bed sheets and straightening pictures on the walls. I have an eye for detail. This means that I’ll do justice to your property with my images, and you and your prospective clients won’t spot any annoying distractions in the photographs.

“Oliver’s Travels commissioned Karen Thorburn Photography to undertake interior photography and exterior photography for three mansion properties in the north of Scotland: in Alness and Grantown-on-Spey in the Highlands; and in Forres in Moray. The images were required in order to improve our website listings for these luxury properties, and for social media content.

We’re so happy with Karen’s work and we’ve no doubt that we’ll see an increase in bookings for these villas next year. We can absolutely recommend Karen to anyone looking for a commercial photographer in the north of Scotland.”
