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.

Your first step should be making a list of the images that must be used to represent your business. When choosing these images, you have to think about what services are available in your spa. Most resorts will have spas, gymnasiums, and food and refreshment places. When writing the list, make sure that you include a photo in each of the mentioned locations.

When you have a list of must-haves, you will now have a general idea of the architectural and interior photography shots that are needed. You can add a few more genres in order to have a holistic approach. These additions can include aerial views, food and lifestyle shots. After making this list of the photographs that you need, you can now start looking for the photographer who will 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.

The next step, after agreeing on the pricing should be meeting the shooter. This should be organized a few days before the actual day set aside for the photography. You will take time and show the photographer the places where you need the photos taken, and their opinion about the appropriateness of the angles you have in mind, especially in terms of lighting and shadows.

After the person has been on the site and looked at the suitability of your shooting ideas, the next step is discussing the number of people that will be needed to complete the shoot successfully. During this meeting, it is also important to discuss the length of time the shoot may take.

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.
