Most hotel photographers specialise in one thing. I cover everything — hotel interiors and suite photography, lifestyle and guest experience, food and beverage photography, spa and wellness, and staff portraits that introduce your team before a guest even arrives. One photographer, one creative vision, one less briefing process.
Discuss Your ProjectI’ve shot hotel and resort campaigns across the UK, Europe, the Caribbean and Mexico — working on everything from intimate boutique properties in London to large-scale international resort commissions. My clients include Hyatt, Hilton, Four Seasons, Taj Hotels, Imperial London Hotels, Wyndham, and VRetreats. Whether I’m shooting in Mayfair or the Dominican Republic, the approach is the same: natural light wherever possible, imagery that feels true to the property, and photography that works as hard across an OTA listing as it does in a printed campaign.
London hotel shoots typically cover central and inner London properties — Mayfair, Kensington, the City, Shoreditch, South Bank — but I'm equally at home working further afield, and a significant portion of my hotel work is international. I understand the specific demands of shooting in a live hotel environment: working quietly around guests, coordinating with housekeeping, making the most of the light at the right time of day. The result is imagery that looks effortless precisely because the shoot was anything but.
From grand lobbies and heritage dining rooms to contemporary suites and rooftop terraces, I photograph the spaces that define a property’s identity. I work with available light wherever possible, and where the space needs a helping hand, I use flash to create a natural-light look rather than the over-lit, artificial feel that puts guests off. The goal is always images that look exactly like the space feels in person: real, lived-in, and true to what a guest will experience on arrival.
Rooms are important, but guests book experiences. I photograph the moments that make a stay memorable — a morning coffee on the balcony, a poolside afternoon, the quiet luxury of exceptional service. Lifestyle and guest experience sessions are shot with models and planned carefully to reflect the guests your property most wants to attract. These are the images that do the most work on your website and social channels.
Whether it’s a signature cocktail programme, a chef’s table tasting menu, or a lavish breakfast spread, I photograph food and drink as part of the wider hotel story — in context, with atmosphere, and always looking genuinely appetising. Rich, textured images that make people hungry and, more importantly, make a reservation.
Spa photography is one of those areas where getting it wrong is easy and getting it right makes a real difference to bookings. I focus on light, texture and authentic lifestyle moments — with models where needed — to convey the restorative experience your spa promises, rather than empty treatment rooms and a lone candle.
Your guests have already researched your property before they arrive — they’ve scrolled your website, read your reviews, and formed an impression. Introducing your team through warm, natural portraits is one of the simplest ways to build trust before a guest even walks through the door. I photograph hotel staff in a way that feels relaxed and genuine rather than stiff or corporate — from general managers and concierge teams to restaurant staff and spa therapists. The result is imagery that puts a human face to your brand and makes guests feel they already know who’s looking after them.
Most hotel shoots run over one to three days, depending on the size of the property and the scope of the brief. I’m experienced working in live hotel environments — around guests, around housekeeping schedules, around the realities of a busy property — and I plan shoots carefully to make the most of the time available.
For larger commissions, I can scale the project up by bringing in trusted collaborators — a second photographer to maximise coverage across a large property, or a videographer or videography team where moving image content is needed alongside stills. For lifestyle and F&B shoots, I’d always recommend involving a stylist, and I can connect you with people I’ve worked with and trust to get the most from the day.
I work equally well from a detailed creative brief or building the concept from the ground up, and I’m comfortable alongside art directors, marketing teams, and brand guidelines.

FAQ
Most hotel shoots run over one to three days, depending on the size of the property and the scope of the brief. A boutique London property with a focused brief can often be covered in a single day. A large resort with multiple room categories, several restaurants, a spa, and lifestyle requirements will typically need two to three days minimum.
Day rates vary depending on the scope of the project, whether models and styling are involved, the shoot duration, and the usage rights required. Get in touch with details of your property and brief and I'll come back with a clear proposal.
Yes — a significant portion of my hotel work is outside London and internationally. I've photographed resort properties in the Caribbean, Mexico, the Mediterranean and across the UK. I travel with a compact, professional kit and can manage full production remotely for destination shoots.
