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.

The first step to make even before inviting the photographer is that you should create a shortlist of all the images that are a must have in the website. This means that for instance, if the resort features a spa, sauna, fitness center and a restaurant, you should have an image of each for the best 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.

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 pricing has been agreed upon, ask for a face to face meeting with the specific person that will do the shooting. This meeting should be organized days before the planned photography date. When the person arrives, show them the shooting ideas you have and listen to their expert opinion about them. Pay close attention to light and shadows as this will determine the quality of the photos that will be taken.

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.

When all these issues have been straightened out, now you can pay for the service and start making the final touches to the resort. The most important thing to do is choose a reliable and competent photographer to handle the job for you. The results of the shoot will depend on the competence of the person doing it.
