A comprehensive hotel photography commission at Seadust Cancun — a four-star all-inclusive resort on the Cancun coastline in Mexico, shot on behalf of Cala Creatives.
The project came at a significant moment for the property — a change of ownership and partial rebrand had created the need for a complete refresh of the hotel’s marketing imagery.
The brief was extensive, covering the full breadth of the resort: beach and pool areas, guest rooms, spa and wellness facilities, restaurants and bars, entertainment, and two fully staged wedding shoots.
The wedding photography element in particular required careful coordination with the resort’s events team, producing aspirational imagery that positions Seadust Cancun as a destination wedding venue.

“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
