Tips On Selecting The Best 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 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.

When approaching the photographers, there are certain things that you need to have in mind. Start by thinking about their location and proximity to your spa. It is normally more convenient to get a photographer who operates close to where your business is. However, if this is not possible, tell them about the particular dates you think are perfect for the shoot and have them travel to the location the day before. Arrange for accommodation for their convenience.

Discuss how much you will have to pay for the service. The factors that normally influence the pricing include the quantity of photos that need to be taken, how difficult the photography will be, and the special rates unique to every photographer. As a rule, you should always ensure that the results that you get from the service reflect the amount you paid for it.

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.
