Work with me

Bringing your brand story to life

I love bringing brands, products, places and spaces to life through words, styling and photography. My work is calm, timeless and uplifting, and I’m always keen to connect with designers, makers, retailers, travel companies and other organisations who share my considered approach and natural, minimalist aesthetic. 

I have an editorial background, with twenty years’ experience spanning content creation, writing and visual storytelling. Past and present clients include Carl Hansen & Søn, Iittala, Visit Sweden, Fredericia, Forestry Wool, The White Company, British Blanket Company, Nest.co.uk, Secret Linen Store, SKAGEN, Finnair, Crown Paints, Visit Herefordshire, The Pure Edit, Claybrook Tiles, Mahabis, Lapuan Kankurit, Elvang, Son of a Tailor, Forest of Dean & Wye Valley Tourism, Duux and Georg Jensen.

Interiors styling, photography & art direction

From £500 per day

Using simple, soulful styling, I work with brands, small businesses and makers to create beautiful images for websites, social-media platforms and marketing materials. I offer styling as a standalone service or in conjunction with natural-light photography, either working on location or showcasing products in my own rustic-minimalist home. I can also provide full art direction, from defining the visual concept, developing the narrative and sourcing props to on-the-day photoshoot management. 

In addition, I offer styling and photography for interior designers and homeowners looking to attract editorial and commercial interest. This includes adding thoughtful finishing touches that help tell the story of the project, finding the angles that best capture each space, and highlighting the elements that will appeal to target publications and clients.

Travel photography

From £500 per day

I provide photography for tourist boards, travel operators, magazines and accommodation providers, capturing not only places but also the moments, moods and details that make them special. My images connect with people on an emotional level, helping to reach new customers and generate bookings.

For holiday lets, B&Bs and hotels, I can offer a combined styling and photography package. I’ll stage the property to showcase it at its very best, and provide an array of wide and close-up images of the interior and exterior (plus the local area, if needed) that can be used across websites, booking-platform listings, printed publications and social-media channels. I can also dress the property for particular seasons to highlight its appeal at different times of year.

Writing & copywriting

From £50 per hour

I craft clear, enticing copy for brands and small businesses in the interior design, lifestyle and travel sectors. My experience covers websites, blogs, newsletters, brochures and more – and when it comes to online platforms, I’m adept at balancing the needs of algorithms and real people to create content that’s SEO-friendly, engaging and informative. My writing is concise yet emotive, providing plenty of impact without unnecessary fluff. 

I’ve also written two books for lifestyle publisher Ryland Peters & Small, and I contribute to various magazines. I have particular expertise in minimalist interiors, biophilic design, seasonal living, Nordic design and travel, design-led hotels, glamping and my own region of the West Country and Cotswolds, and I’m able to provide tailored comment as well as in-depth features.

Brand voice development and strategic content planning from Abi Dare of These Four Walls

Brand voice development & content planning

From £350

I help small businesses in the interior design, travel and lifestyle sectors to build a consistent, recognisable brand voice across all communications. This encompasses a planning workshop, message development and creation of a style guide covering language, tone and pace, as well as advice on visual elements such as photography.

I also offer strategic content planning for those looking to leverage the power of blogs and social media. You’ll receive impactful yet easy-to-action ideas, a suggested schedule and tips on how to use each platform, removing the confusion and overwhelm from the process.

Whether you choose both options or one, I’ll help you work out what to say and how to say it, giving you the tools you need to align your content with your goals and reach the right audiences.
