Choosing The Ideal Resort Photographer

By Amanda Walker


Putting your money in the hospitality industry comes with its own set of challenges. For instance, if you have spent a lot of money refurbishing your resort, but are disappointed at the continued trend of low profits, it is time to start thinking about the quality of the photography of the place. Advertising begins with choosing a reliable Resort Photographer, and the tips below will show you how to do it.

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 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.

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 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.

When the shooter has looked at the site, they will give specifications about the number of crew members they will need for the project. This may affect the total cost of the project. It will also affect the amount of time that will be taken to complete the project.

After all these factors have been looked into, you can then go ahead and put in a deposit for the photography service and start the process. Note that a long as you choose a reliable person to handle the process for you, you will have a very pleasant experience advertising your resort.
