Bring the Forest into your guests' stay. site-specific nature photography for hotels, lodges and holiday villages.

Why Nature-Based Imagery Works.

Natural and woodland imagery does more than fill a wall. Research in biophilic design shows that forest photography can lower stress, improve sleep quality and increase guests' sense of wellbeing. For hotels, that translates directly into experience, reviews and return visits.

Reduces Stress on Arrival

Natural imagery lowers heart rate and blood pressure. Guests feel calmer from the moment they walk in, without any effort on their part.

Improves Perceived Quality

Thoughtfully chosen photography signals care and intention. It raises the perceived standard of a space without a full refurbishment.

Creates a Sense of Place

Images that reflect the surrounding landscape help guests feel grounded in their location, rather than in a room that could be anywhere.

Works Across Room Types

A single master image can be cropped, scaled and formatted across lodge interiors, corridors, reception areas and guest rooms, consistently.

My Services.

I offer two core services for hotel and hospitality interiors, designed to suit different spaces, budgets and installation approaches.

A cosy living room with an orange curved sectional sofa, a round wooden coffee table, an armchair, and a small yellow ottoman. The wall features a bespoke forest feature wall mural, and large glass doors open onto an outdoor patio. The lighting is soft and modern.

Boutique Hotels

Holiday Villages & Lodges

Where My Woodland Photography Has Been Installed.

My commissioned and licensed forest photography has been installed in hotel guest rooms, lodge interiors and hospitality spaces across the UK. Clients include Center Parcs, with site-specific images delivered across multiple UK locations. Each was a single high-resolution master file - spanning up to 10 x 2.5m - cropped and formatted for use across different room types and wall sizes within each property.

I also work with boutique hotels, holiday lets and interior designers on single-site and multi-room projects. Licensing is available for selected images from my existing portfolio, where appropriate.

 What Clients Say About Working With Me.

My forest photography for hotels and hospitality interiors is trusted by leading brands and their production partners.

“The TIFFs look incredible. We’re really looking forward to printing these as one-piece murals. The images are super-sharp with loads of detail and your colour profiles are spot on.”

- Paul F., Vista Digital (Production partner, Center Parcs)

“We added one of Tim's large forest murals to our yoga room and the image creates such a calming, immersive feel. Guests often pause to take it in before sessions start, and many have commented on how grounded they feel just being near it. Tim was responsive and thoughtful - he even coordinated with our designer to make sure the tones fit our space. We’re planning to commission another one soon.”

- Anne R., Wellness Retreat Owner

"We commissioned Tim to create a series of bespoke forest wall art prints for the waiting areas across our group of practices and the effect has been remarkable. The imagery brings a real sense of calm to what can often be a tense environment. Patients have commented on how soothing and grounding the artwork feels. The process was straightforward. Tim took the time to understand our spaces and suggested scenes that suited each setting. The quality of the print at scale is outstanding. It's been a worthwhile investment in patient care and staff wellbeing."

- Jeremy S., GP Partner, NHS Hertfordshire

"I installed one of Tim's forest murals in my woodland Airbnb cottage and it's instantly become the thing guests remember most. It gives the living room such a peaceful, welcoming feel. People have said it makes the place feel like a true escape, even when they've stayed indoors due to rain. Tim made the whole process simple and straightforward. He helped me choose the right image and worked with the printer to get it just right."

- Simon A., Airbnb Host

My forest photography has been installed in over 5,000 rooms and locations across the UK, from single holiday let cottages to multi-site holiday villages. Every project is handled directly, from image selection to final file handover.
