Drone Film Production
A luxury barn conversion in West Sussex — captured with the precision and artistry the space deserved.
The Granary — Drone Film Production, West Sussex
Overview
The Granary is a stunning luxury barn conversion nestled in the West Sussex countryside — a project that represented years of careful design, meticulous craftsmanship and genuine passion from its owners. When it came to photography, only the very best would do.
The brief was clear: capture the building's architectural integrity, the interiors' warmth and luxury, and the drama of its landscape setting — all in a single comprehensive shoot that would serve the marketing, press and sales needs of the project.
Gibson Blanc Photography spent a full day on site, working methodically through every space and angle. The result was a portfolio of images that perfectly balanced the building's architectural boldness with the intimate warmth of its interior design.
The Granary presented a fascinating technical challenge. The conversion blended historic timber frames with contemporary glass and steel — a contrast that required careful management of mixed lighting sources, extreme dynamic range between interior and exterior views, and precise exposure blending to retain both the drama of the structure and the warmth of the interiors. The shoot was also time-sensitive, with optimal light windows calculated in advance for each elevation.
Gibson arrived at dawn to capture the building in the golden hour light that best revealed its warm stone and timber character. Interior shots were carefully lit to complement — not fight — the natural light flooding through the building's extensive glazing. A mix of wide architectural compositions, detail shots and lifestyle frames ensured the final gallery told the complete story of the space.
The photography was used across the client's marketing brochure, Rightmove and premium property portal listings, interior design press submissions and social media. The property sold at asking price within three weeks of listing — with multiple buyers citing the photography as what made them arrange a viewing.
"Gibson captured our project exactly as we'd always envisioned it. Every image is a perfect balance of the architectural drama and the warmth we worked so hard to create inside. The photography genuinely sold the space."The Granary Project
