The Importance Of Professional Hotel Photographers Is Second To None

By Patricia Cooper


Over the years, the way consumers book hotels has changed immensely. This is all thanks to the Internet, where more people are booking online and before doing so, carefully inspecting what each hotel has to offer. Therefore, never before have professional hotel photographers been so important to the success of the hospitality industry. Only the best can capture the essence of the available accommodations.

This would require the photographer to shoot all the beautiful features, the lobby, and many more other areas to provide the potential customer the best first impression possible. A marketing plan in detail has to be created in order for the website and brochures to display the best photographs. Unfortunately for those who choose economical solutions may end up with poor photos that can negatively impact a business immensely.

Sometimes it pays to pay more, as it almost guarantees success. So a lot is on the shoulders of the manager who's involved in making these decisions. It should start off by the manager interviewing several candidates. Carefully observe the various samples in the portfolio they provide. Some may photograph people very well, but not necessarily rooms and the like. Alternatively, it could be the opposite. Now in a resort that's beautiful and caters to weddings, it's important for a photographer to be able to do both.

Room staging is crucial, and must be done according to the targeted clientele. Sometimes, it's the way the curtains are drawn, where other times it's that and a combination of the bedspread folded down perfectly that indicative of comfort and relaxation. A tray with food and a flower may prove the accommodations are more luxurious and romantic. Those that aim for business people would generally use businesslike objects, such as a laptop placed on a table that overlooks a gorgeous view.

It all depends on the marketing strategy of the resort. A luxury spa resort would photograph the various rooms and their bathrooms in a way that is reminiscent of a spa, using folded crisp white towels and other elements found in these rejuvenating places. Additionally, the right lighting needs to be used in order to capture the right angles and the materials in their best light.

For instance, improper lighting can cause both the indoors and outdoors to not look right. This could make it uninviting. Additionally, top-notch photographic equipment using the latest technology is necessary. A professional should have wide angle lenses that can make the room, regardless of its size, look even bigger than it is.

The hotel may easily generate greater revenues through attracting more guests that come directly from smart marketing, advertising, and impeccable photography. Having said that, it is necessary for the target age group to be emphasize through a model of that age group. Therefore, it would be necessary for the photographer to be able to choose the appropriate models.

As for the rooms and the various architectural features of the structure, it's up to the professional to take them in the right angles. He must find the potential settings and best views that will continue to brand their image. However, there may be royalty fees involved, depending on the agreement. Paying the full price allows clients unlimited use of the images.
