HOTEL & RESORT PHOTOGRAPHY
Based in London I travel frequently for all my clients in the Hotels, Resorts, Spas & unique venues/lifestyle concept market worldwide. Being a hospitality photographer is challenging and it suits my passion to learn and grow whilst travelling around the world, enjoying culture, arts, beautiful destinations and its friendly people. I have been fortunate throughout my years in this industry, my travels introduced me to South East Asia, the Middle East, various scenic spots in Europe, the Caribbean as well as remote Indian Ocean locations.
You develop a certain set of skills being a professional managing clients’ wishes, challenges on-site, unpredictable weather, operation matters while hotels are in full capacity, shooting while construction is still ongoing for pre-opening properties etc. You learn to travel light (finding the right equipment & key team members to be more competitive in this tough industry) as at times you have to travel long distances to remote places, changing mode of transportation frequently (air-ground-sea etc.). Adapting styles and staging sets for various demands according to each client’s branding guidelines. These are all lifetime experiences that can’t be taught in a book. You live it to acquire it!
Hotels & Resorts Photography or generally known as hospitality photography covers various segment and require multi skills to handle. You need to have skills in - Architecture Photography, Interior Photography, Lifestyle Photography, Wellness/Spa Photography, Medical Photography, Food Photography, Destination Photography and at times Portraits as well.
