Hotel Photography Ideas: Capturing Luxury Hotels
Whether it’s a luxury hotel or an affordable accommodation, our goal is to create impactful hospitality visuals that sell the experience. While we can’t change the property’s location, surroundings, or weather conditions, we can always inspire with unique perspectives that reflect the entire experience in one visual.
Paris Hotel
For this assignment, we aimed to showcase three main elements of this property: the Eiffel Tower, the Gate of Victory, and the hotel, all in a single picture. We had to circle around the vast property until we found the perfect spot, and then it was a waiting game for the sun to go down and the interior lighting to shine out.
Iconic Bellagio Hotel
No introduction is needed for the most iconic hotel and fountain in the world, the Bellagio. We were fascinated by the idea of creating an image that shows both the hotel and fountain and how it connects to the famous Las Vegas Boulevard (the Strip). Ironically, to capture the Bellagio, we had to rent a suite in another hotel to get the best view and unique perspective. As a hotel photography agency, we do whatever it takes to achieve the ultimate image. While this was a passion project, we still appreciate the final result and the unique idea of renting a room in another property for this assignment.
Lobby
At 9 in the morning, the sun projects a beautiful ray of light into the hotel lobby. When discussing creative hotel photography ideas, one must ask what makes this image special. The answer: where are all the people? We had to capture more than 40 different images where different sections of the lobby were unoccupied and then remove them in post-production. When it comes to active properties, creativity is essential.
Reflection
One of the biggest challenges in modern architecture hotels with spectacular views is dealing with the reflections of interior and exterior lighting on the windows. With a €20,000-a-night high-end suite, we didn’t have much time to create this “simple-looking” living room image. To solve this challenge, we took several pictures with the lights on and off, both inside and out, and combined them into one seamless image.
