HOTEL PHOTOGRAPHER

Entrance to the Claridge's hotel, London . Early morning start, to get this image without traffic and good light, it was necessary to be in position at 6am, so I had to stay at the Hotel overnight, just one of the perks of the job.

Lodge & Resturant

This Lodge - Queensland Australia is a destination hotel and shows how a hotel photographer would light a property at twilight along with guests by a fireside .

St Michael's Mount

Cornwall, this was the money shot after two days waiting for the weather to clear. However I prefer the more moody image and it illustrates that a landscape photographer above all else requires patience .Final ad did not appear as the research came back poor. I still love advertising photography .

E&J Gallo

constructed facade Bay area for DPS magazine Ad. Images such as this were shot on large format camera and the many elements were scanned and constructed in Photoshop. This still happens but the images that are featured across all media are usually for Cars & Consumer products.This image is made from 4 main images, the Bridge, the Landscape of the City, the foreground of the window and Brass bar, plus a candle & its reflection.

Abstract Buildings

Hotel photography often requires detail of property and shows a feel for a place rather that a traditional view.

Ragley Grand Hall

Set for Wedding -using portable flash with daylight as well as specialist shift / tilt lens captures large interiors and small with great quality. The technical requirements for an Architectural photographer have changed, pre digital you required a 4 x 5 camera with shift & tilt movements, I used a Sinar in the studio, but on location I would use Linhofs as they were designed for portability. This image was shot with a Nikon D850 and a Shift /Tilt 24mm , my lens of choice for Architecture ,interiors and exteriors.

Bathroom detail

features have to be isolated to show quality of features . Hotels and many properties, will require details, often these are important to show the quality of the interiours , the materials used within the arcituxture.

fountain

Garden detail for hotels and venues, this image was taken for the Birmingham Botanical Gardens, a venue for events and much more. Its important to not have too high a shutter speed so the water looks liquid, but on such a sunny day the water long exposure effect would look unnatural and not intergrate with the other images on the website that it was commissioned for.

Hotel garden.

detail to provide image bank for hotel website and brochure, images such as this are provided when an image bank is commissined, they are often observed and maybe not even in the brief, but they are what a Hotel can use as seasonal marketing, publishing on their Instagram & Facebbok accounts as is reqiored in this content hungry world.
