A week-long hotel photography shoot at Hyatt Ziva and Hyatt Zilara — twin five-star all-inclusive resorts set on the stunning Punta Cana coastline in the Caribbean.
Shot on behalf of Cala Creatives, the brief was to produce a comprehensive library of social media-led marketing content showcasing the full breadth of both resorts’ amenities — including restaurants, bars, entertainment, pools, beachfront, and dedicated Kids and Teen Club facilities.
Covering two properties in a single production week required precise scheduling and close collaboration with both resorts’ marketing and operations teams.
The scale and complexity of this commission — two five-star properties, multiple outlet types, and family-focused amenities across a full week of shooting — reflects the kind of large-scale hospitality production David regularly delivers for international hotel groups and resort brands.

“We’ve been working with David since 2019 when he was first recommended to us, and he’s become one of our preferred & go-to photographers ever since. As director of Cala Creatives, a London-based photo and video agency, I need people I enjoy working with & trust, and with David, I never have to worry. He’s personal, funny, and professional, and whether I’m on set with him or sending him out solo, I know the job is in safe hands. His images are consistently beautiful, balanced, well-composed, and tailored to the brief. He’s shot lifestyle, product, and architectural photography for us, always adapting to different brands with ease. David gets the job done without fuss, properly. I’ve really enjoyed working with him and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great photographer and a great person to work with.”Ian Harper, Director — Cala Creatives
