How To Choose Your Resort Photographer

By Joseph Hill


The construction or renovation of your hotel is over and it is time to put new pictures in your resort website. This is done by hiring a professional to take out the photos. This is because the images posted markets your business while they impress the viewer eyes. Therefore, it is important to choose your resort photographer wisely.

The decision on picture quality is the key before you tender the service and the number of pictures you want from both inside the resort and outside. Since there is specialization in photography, look for personnel who specialize in this type of task. This is to ensure the services will be the best and the results will be pleasing.

The other step you should take is enquiring for ideas on the best professional who have experience in this task from other business who have gone through this task. There are also websites which provides information on photographers with details and sample pictures they have taken. From here, you can be able to assess their capability to deliver the quality needed from their portfolios. Select 3 or 4 photographers and invite them for interviews and during the interviews ask the following questions.

You should know the exact date and time you want the shots taken hence ask the professional will be available on that date. This will help in making sure everything will go on as planned and will not delay your plans.

Ask whether the person will be the one taking the shots or they be handled by the employees. It is a good idea to get a professional who is willing to do the job and not bring in another person to do it. Make it known to the professional you do not like having your work done by another person you do not know.

After you have given the details on the number and the picture quality you desire, it is now the time to discuss the price. Ask the professional the number of crews who will be working with and if you will be the one proving them all with place to sleep, meals, travel charges and photo editing charges. Ask if all these charges are included in the amount discussed. You should also ask at what amount of rights you will get over the photos.

Make sure to get the number of crews the professional will be working with. If the crew is of minimum of three, the price should not hike. Also, the period needed for the work to complete. Ask for the number of photographs they can take in a day. If they can take more than ten in a day, then, the quality will not be attractive since best professional gives a minimum of 6 and a maximum of ten. The other thing you should ask is the duration to take a shot. I recommend a best shot to take a maximum of one hour and not less than 45minutes.

The stand model picture must be considered since you might decide to use your staff or ask for professional help from your photographer. Most professionals arrive one or two days earlier to survey the place and decide on the best places to stand when taking a certain shot. Ask when you should get the pictures after they are through and which channel they will use to send them to you.
