Commissioning architectural and interiors photography
Photography starts from $165 — a category starting point, not a price for every package. Our published specialisations are:
| Specialisation | Typical subject |
|---|---|
| Architectural | Built form, materials and detail for architects and builders |
| Residential | Houses, apartments and townhouses for sale or lease |
| Commercial | Offices, retail, hospitality and industrial premises |
| Builder | Display homes, facades and house types across a range |
| Lifestyle | People using the space, for campaign and brand work |
| Portrait | Individual agent and staff portraits |
| Corporate | Team, office and brand imagery |
What interiors work depends on
Interior images are shaped by light and by how the property presents on the day, so the property should be presentation-ready before our crew arrives — blinds and curtains set consistently, benchtops and bathrooms cleared, personal items away, lights working and globes matched. Time spent tidying on the day comes out of the shoot.
Morning light suits east-facing frontages and interiors that catch early sun; afternoon light suits west-facing frontages. Our FAQ gives indicative dusk commencement ranges of 5:45–7:15 pm in summer and 2:15–3:45 pm in winter. These are start-time ranges, not shoot durations, and do not specify a location or timezone. Confirm the appointment for your property and date.
Retouching and your booked scope
Our published retouching includes tonal and colour adjustments, reducing reflections and window glare, improving detail through windows, removing appliance stickers, greening existing vegetation, cleaning visible pool debris and addressing specified cords. Some changes, such as adding a fire, require instructions. Confirm the inclusions and any additional retouching for your booked product; every listed treatment is not automatically applied to every photograph. See our retouching guidance and FAQs.
Removing a permanent feature can misrepresent a property. Our FAQ requires written acceptance of responsibility for a particular removal request. Discuss the alteration and intended use with us; written consent alone does not make every edit appropriate. See our retouching FAQs.

Requesting a specific artist. Urban Artists invites you to enquire about a preferred artist, but our published FAQ states that a specific photographer cannot be directly reserved. A preferred name can be added to the order notes as a request; confirm availability with our Customer Support team before relying on it.
Our quoted prices exclude GST and the usual invoice payment term is 14 days, subject to your quote or agreed arrangements. We retain copyright in the material we produce unless a signed agreement says otherwise; the client receives a licence for the agreed media, territory and duration.

What are Mick Downes’s photography specialisms?
The artist profile names architectural, interiors and high-end property photography, with lifestyle, interiors and architectural work featured.
What experience is stated in Mick’s profile?
The captured artist profile describes more than 20 years of experience. This is a source-era statement rather than an updated career calculation.
Are Michael Downes and Mick Downes the same person in these sources?
The About entry is headed Michael Downes and refers to him as Mick in the text; it lists Partner / Photographer in the September 2026 capture.
When are the finished files delivered?
On our current published terms, photography files are available by close of business on the business day after the shoot. With proofing, the clock starts when selections are submitted, and selections after 5 pm count as the next business day.
Can delivery be brought forward?
Express delivery before midday on the next business day is available for an additional charge. It must be requested at the time of order and at least 48 hours before the booking, and it is not available on video.
How do I request a change to an image?
Image selections and markup pins go through DREAM. Place the pin on the part of the image that needs attention and add a clear comment, which reaches the team member scheduled to retouch it.
How long are the delivered files kept?
Final assets are kept for about 90 days and then removed, so download and store them in your own system. That is approximate published guidance rather than a contractual retention period.
How much notice do you need for property access?
Access details are needed 24 hours in advance. A contact name and phone number helps our field crew resolve problems such as finding the property or coordinating arrival.
Who owns the images we commission?
We retain copyright unless a signed agreement says otherwise, and you receive a licence for the agreed media, territory and duration. Tell us up front where the assets will run so the licence covers it.
What do these services cost?
We publish category entry points only — photography from $165. Quoted prices exclude GST. Those are starting points rather than a price for a particular job, so ask us for a current quote with the scope confirmed.
How do I start a project with you?
Share the property or development address, the services you need, the campaign channels, any access constraints and your preferred delivery date. We will confirm scope, availability and price on a current quote before anything is booked.
