By Olivia Cross


For a hotel to attract many customers, it has to create a good impression during its advertising. They have to use captivating and attractive pictures for customers to want to check the new place out. These pictures should be taken by a professional hospitality photographer. He will take photos that will be captivating and interesting.

There are many cameramen out there who claim to be good at their work. The manager should take his time to interview each and every one of them and ask for their previous works too before he can decide on who is the best to give the contract. He should only consider experience in the field, precisely in taking photos to be used in an advert. Samples of their previous work that was successfully used in an advert will be necessary.

Another thing that you need to look at is the area of specialization of the expert. Those experts who specialize in marriage photos may not be the most suited for resort photography. You need to engage with an expert who has handled similar assignments in the past. You should, therefore, ask for samples of the successive assignments that they have undertaken in the past.

Working with someone that has knowledge in taking these kinds of photos will give clients good thoughts about your investment. For instance, the expert should display magazines and newspapers in the room in a good manner to show the client what to expect from the hotel. They need to find perfect accessories that will bring the best out of the resort.

The next thing they must have is their camera. When taking pictures of a large hotel, different cameras will be used. There are those which will take the entire front view of the building, the rooms and another to capture the finer details of the hotel. These cameras must be functioning well, and they must be of high definition too.

The expert also needs to have professional photography skills. You should, therefore, avoid those people who have no formal training in photography. Many people do not know that, this field calls for specialist and not half baked experts. They need to know about the proper lighting in the rooms before taking the photos. The best illumination need to be put in place so as to produce the desired lighting.

Once they have taken the pictures, they should be able to use them appropriately to create the advert. The arrangement of the pictures and the size they are cropped to is very important. They will also be able to choose the most appropriate photo of them all for the ad. In addition to that, they will also use the right caption for each photo to complement it further.

The camera man will charge different amount based on various factors. The photo format, the size of the buildings and the number of pictures to be taken are just some of them. There are those who will charge a flat rate for all pictures more so if they are too many. Therefore, the manager has to find which one works best for the hotel. A good cameraman would retake the pictures for free if the first ones were not very good.
