Commercial photographer in the South Hams and Devon
Local photography for property, hospitality, products, people and brands
I’m Scot Baston, a commercial photographer creating clear, persuasive images for property owners, holiday lets, hospitality venues and local brands across the South Hams and Devon. My work ranges from interiors and food photography to product photography, headshots and lifestyle shoots.
Whether you need images for listings, social media, menus, websites or brand campaigns, I plan the shot list, handle the photography and editing, then supply ready-to-use files prepared for the channels where they will appear.
Based in Kingsbridge, I work across Salcombe, Thurlestone, Hope Cove, Bigbury, Modbury, Dartmouth and Totnes, as well as throughout wider Devon and Cornwall. My local knowledge helps with weather, light, access and realistic shoot timings. If you have a project coming up, I’m always happy to talk it through.

Photography and website support
My wife and I also run Cornerstone Websites. When a project needs both new photography and a new or updated website, the two can be planned together so the images suit the layout, content and technical requirements from the start.
You can use either service independently. When they are combined, there is one joined-up plan for the photography, website and delivery of the finished assets.
