Made for booking pages and campaigns

Hospitality photos have to work small and large: as a thumbnail on a booking site and full screen on your own website. We plan a set that covers every room type, the pool and outdoor spaces, the restaurant and bar, and the setting.

Video and vertical clips show what a stay is like: the walk to the pool, the view from the terrace, the table at sunset. They are cut for your website, your campaigns and social media from the same shoot.

What we plan for

  1. Working around guests

    We schedule shoots for quieter days and hours and work room by room with your team, so guests are not disturbed and public spaces are photographed at their best.

  2. Every room type

    Guests compare rooms before they book, so each room type is photographed the same way. We agree the list of rooms and angles with you before the shoot.

  3. Lifestyle, if you want it

    Photos with people in the space, a couple at the pool or friends at dinner, show the experience. We plan who appears, and where, with you before the shoot.

Questions from hospitality

Do you photograph vacation rentals?

Yes. Vacation rentals are photographed much like a listing, with extra attention to what guests book for: the pool, the view, the outdoor spaces and the bedrooms.

Can the photos work for booking platforms?

Yes. Tell us where you list and we will plan the set and the crops so the photos work on each platform and on your own website.

How is hospitality work licensed?

Usage is licensed per project and written into the proposal, covering booking pages, your website, campaigns, print and social media as needed.

How is hospitality work priced?

Per project, after a short call, based on the number of rooms and spaces, the shoot days and how the media will be used.
