About us

My name is Darren Clayworth and taking outstanding photos of great architecture and homes is my absolute passion.

But it takes more than passion to take a great photo, it takes years of practice, a keen eye and the best/most suited tools to our craft.

Coming from a strong background in real estate photography I have learnt there is a big difference in shooting real estate, architecture and lifestyle photography. And choosing the wrong photographer and style can be costly in terms of time, hassle and results.

Thats why we take the time to find out what you need, who are the craftsmen involved in the project and where your photos will be published in order to deliver what you need.

My images have proudly been used by news media and Home and Garden Magazine.

For projects that need results, give me a call.

Our Values

At LightBoss we’re proud of our passion for photography and it’s our focus on quality, reliability and partnership that our entire organisation is built on. Our professional, fast and affordable visual marketing solutions are in-demand and trusted by leading property professionals across Australia and New Zealand.

Photography

Residential Photography
Professional photographs of your listing will provide added emotional impact and engagement with a property which translates to quicker sales and less time on the market! Our photographers are trusted by leading agents across our locations in New Zealand to ensure their listings are showcased with high-impact imagery.

Bespoke Photography
Bespoke style images are designed to place the viewer into the picture. Our photographers understand that it is vital to adapt to the individual needs of each and every client and property. By simply adjusting the way that a traditional photograph has been taken, our bespoke style can transform the overall appeal of a listing. Using this “magazine-style” imagery is sure to get your listing noticed in a crowded market.

Display Home Photography
Nothing engages a prospective buyer more than a beautifully rich and visually engaging photograph. Tap into the emotional interest of your viewers by ensuring each one of your display homes has been professionally photographed. Real Property Photography is trusted by some of New Zealand’s best home builders and member organisations to capture their properties and developments, ensuring the essence of their brand and style is reflected also.

AirBnB & Holiday Rentals
Like selling your property, listing your home as a short-term holiday rental requires it to be marketed in the most unique and high-impact way. Professional photography can dramatically increase the booking activity of a short-term rental, ensuring that your viewers are looking at your property as their very own home away from home.

Commercial Photography
Whether you have an office, retail or warehouse space to showcase, our photographers are specially trained to capture each unique location, angle and feature. Leading commercial agents rely on Real Property Photography to provide high-impact photographs to their prospects in order to make more informed decisions, sooner.

If you’re looking for an exciting way to highlight a property’s unique features, showcase a perfect landscape and demonstrate the surrounding neighbourhood, aerial photography will achieve all of this. Our team is ready to create top-shelf images and seamless promotional packages to set your listings apart from the competition. Real Property Photography partners have been extensively trained to ensure they are operating with both safety and professionalism top of mind. 

Floor Plans

Floor Plans & Site Plans

According to realestate.com.au, 50% of consumers tell them that a floor plan makes a listing stand out. Is this information that you can afford to not include on your next property listing?

Real Property Photography utilises the latest technology to create impressive and effective floor plans to make the process of purchasing property easier for potential buyers. Not only does a floor plan help buyers create a blueprint in their minds, but it is useful information required in the decision-making process.

We here believe that floor plans don’t need to look boring, but yet should be designed beautifully, whilst also relevant. Our floor plans are produced measured on-site, then finalised by our specialist floor plan team, finally placing it on a well-designed template. Pair your floor plan with a Real Property Photography site plan and give your prospective buyers the information they need to make informed purchasing decisions.

Here is why our team emphasise the importance of providing well-constructed floor plans to our clients:

1. Potential property buyers more often than not have space requirements so by providing a floor plan, people can see exactly how the property is structured and therefore are well informed and know what to expect prior to organising a viewing.

2.  Nothing is omitted from a floor plan. They can instantly increase the value of a property and can assist in making it seem larger.

3. After a potential buyer visits a property, you want them to walk away feeling as though they are still there! When they are assessing the properties and making their decision,  you want them to remember YOUR property above all the rest! A professional floor plan will help them remember the layout of your property and will certainly assist in closing that sale!

Virtual Staging

Virtual Staging
We help leading property professionals across New Zealand get high-impact images to attract attention and get results their clients love. Adding virtual staging to your listing images adds inspiration and shows potential for an otherwise empty space. Don’t let empty rooms slow you down. Get outstanding results with fast and cost-effective solutions.

Bedrooms
Give the viewer a realistic perspective of space by filling the room. Add a bed, desk, drawers, indoor plants etc and turn an empty bedroom into a room that your prospects can picture as theirs.

Living/ Dining
Often the most viewed space in any listing, virtual staging can help to transform a living space into something that feels homely. Add a virtual sofa, tv, coffee table, indoor plants and let your viewers feel at home before they’ve even visited the property. 

Entertaining / Games Rooms
If you’ve got the perfect space for entertaining, but lack the budget for traditional staging, then virtual staging is the perfect solution. Showcase how your prospects can utilise the entertaining space by adding virtual items such as sofas, themed games room items such as pool tables and more.

Outdoor Areas
If you’re struggling to showcase to your prospects how the outdoor space could be utilised, try adding some virtual furniture such as outdoor lounges, greenery such as pots and plants, outdoor tables and umbrellas and more.

“After using a number of photographers over my nine years in real estate, I have found, as the market has changed that owners and buyers have become more discerning and particular with every detail involved in taking a property to market. Over time I have been disappointed with the quality and content of the photos that I was being provided with. Recently I had a property that required a first class selection of photos. However the photos that I was provided with were not up to the standard required. Darren then came through, listened to what we needed as far as quality, angles and content were concerned and then spent the time to ensure he delivered what we needed. When the photos came through we were more than delighted, as was the vendor. Since then I have used Darren for another three properties and I have been more than thrilled with the job he has done. I will continue to use Darren for my real estate photography and would be happy to recommend him to any vendor.”
