Hotel Photography - Frequently Asked Questions
How many hotel photographs do you produce in a day?
On average, we produce 7-10 professionally finished hotel photographs per day. The final number depends on the scale, complexity, and styling requirements of each space.
For example, a luxury hotel bathroom may take under an hour to photograph, while a large restaurant, spa, or ballroom can require several hours of careful lighting, styling and composition. Our focus is always on quality, consistency, and brand alignment, rather than speed.
Do you charge by the day for hotel photography?
All hotel photography commissions are quoted per project, based on your brief. Pricing is determined by:

Do you use additional lighting during the shoot?
Yes - lighting is fundamental to our hotel photography style.
We use multiple professional light sources to sculpt architectural forms, enhance textures, and elevate interior ambience. The key is subtlety: artificial lighting is carefully blended with natural daylight and existing hotel lighting to maintain a realistic, refined, and luxurious atmosphere.
Many images featured on this site were created using up to 10 carefully positioned lights, combined seamlessly in post-production.
How should we prepare the hotel before the shoot?
We provide a comprehensive pre-shoot preparation guide for your team. This includes clear instructions for:
The guide ensures all spaces are immaculate, fully functional, and visually aligned before photography begins. Proper preparation significantly improves efficiency on the day and maximises image quality.
When will we receive the final hotel images?
Our standard turnaround time for full post-production is 10 days from the final shoot day.
If images are required urgently for PR, press releases, or marketing launches, we can provide a rush delivery of 4-5 selected images within 48 hours (additional fees may apply).
Will we be able to view and approve the photographs online?
Yes.
Once post-production is complete, you’ll receive access to a private online preview gallery. This allows your team to review and approve the final images before delivery. Once approved, the full image set is released digitally.
What image formats do you provide?
Each project includes three professionally prepared file formats:
This ensures your hotel imagery is future-proofed across all platforms.
What equipment do you use for hotel photography?
We use professional digital medium-format camera systems and high-end lenses, selected specifically for each project. These systems produce exceptionally detailed, large A3-size files, allowing for precise colour grading, perspective control, and maximum cropping flexibility - essential for luxury hospitality photography.
Do you have printed portfolios we can view?
Yes.
We produce a range of printed portfolios and curated presentation pieces throughout the year. If you’d like to receive a copy, simply get in touch and one will be mailed directly to you.
