Choosing The Ideal Resort Photographer

By Amanda Walker


If you have invested in the hospitality industry, then you understand the amount of effort it takes to renovate a hotel or resort and make it up to a certain desired standard. In case you have invested money in renovations but are yet to see the returns, perhaps you should start thinking about the quality of the advertising you are doing. When it comes to the hotel industry, the advertising quality depends mainly on the photography. Here are tips to help you pick the ideal Resort Photographer.

Start by creating a checklist containing the images you think will best represent your business. For example, if the resort has a sauna, gym, wellness center and a refreshments place, make a list of photos to be taken in these areas. This will showcase everything you have to offer, which will be ideal for advertising.

When you have written down a summary of the areas that you need to photograph, you will have a specific idea of the interior photos that you need to take to complete the shoot. In addition to the architecture and interior decor photos, you can add photos taken from an aerial view, dining and lifestyle shoots to create a complete picture. After writing this down, start looking for someone to make it happen.

There are things that are a must to have in mind when selecting a photography expert. Start by thinking about where they are situated and how close it is to the resort. If the photographer is close by, the process will be much simpler; however, when the photographer is far, you will have to organize their travel and accommodation beforehand. It is more convenient to have them arrive a day before so that they can relax before the shoot day.

The cost of the service will be the next consideration to make. Cost normally depends on the number of photos to be taken, the difficulty of the photography task and the level and complexity of polishing that needs to be done after the shoot and the photographers specific rates. The rule of the thumb here is to ensure the cost of the service reflects the quality.

When the cost has been agreed upon, you can now meet the person who will do the shooting. This is an arrangement that is supposed to be done a few days before the actual shoot. During this meeting, you will show the photographer the areas that you had listed down and ask for their ideas about the suitability of the angles that you had decided on. Note that the beauty of photos will depend on the lighting and shadows, which mean you, should pay special attention to both.

After the shooter has been on the ground and seen the ideas that you have in mind, you can now discuss the crew members that will be enough to carry out the shoot. During this discussion, you can also discuss the time that will be needed to complete the photo shoot.

With all these factors handled, all that will remain is paying for the service and making the final aesthetic touches. Note that as long as you have chosen a photographer well, you will not have a hard time getting people to visit and spend your money on your resort.
