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.

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.

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 next thing to discuss should be the pricing. This of course should depend on the amount of photography to be done, the complexity, the finishing touches that you need done and the rates charged by the photographer. The general rule that you should always adhere to when doing the pricing is to ensure that it represents the quality of the service.

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.

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.

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.
