How To Assess The Best Resort Photographer For Your Hotel

By Joseph Hill


The construction or renovation of your hotel is over and it is time to put new pictures in your resort website. This is done by hiring a professional to take out the photos. This is because the images posted markets your business while they impress the viewer eyes. Therefore, it is important to choose your resort photographer wisely.

In order to achieve the quality of photos you want, you have to create a list of images you must have and decide on how many shots are for interior and exterior. You should also concentrate on the strength of the photographer since some specialize in different area. This will make sure you get the one specialized in your area.

The other step you should take is enquiring for ideas on the best professional who have experience in this task from other business who have gone through this task. There are also websites which provides information on photographers with details and sample pictures they have taken. From here, you can be able to assess their capability to deliver the quality needed from their portfolios. Select 3 or 4 photographers and invite them for interviews and during the interviews ask the following questions.

Ask if it is possible for professional to start the work on your selected date. If his is possible, you give the person a tick and know your plans will not be adjusted and there will be no delays to function and operation of the business. This improves the marketing strategy of the hotel.

Ask whether the person will be the one taking the shots or they be handled by the employees. It is a good idea to get a professional who is willing to do the job and not bring in another person to do it. Make it known to the professional you do not like having your work done by another person you do not know.

Talk about the pricing after you are through giving the number of shots you want. It is advisable to ask if it is charged per day, image and if extra charges are included. To avoid inconveniences, ask whether retouching, travel, lodging and food is included. Ask what rights you will receive over the photos.

Make sure to get the number of crews the professional will be working with. If the crew is of minimum of three, the price should not hike. Also, the period needed for the work to complete. Ask for the number of photographs they can take in a day. If they can take more than ten in a day, then, the quality will not be attractive since best professional gives a minimum of 6 and a maximum of ten. The other thing you should ask is the duration to take a shot. I recommend a best shot to take a maximum of one hour and not less than 45minutes.

Communicate on the decision on whether to use your staff as models or the person taking shots should come with personnel for the stand. Most of them prefer arriving to the resort a day or two prior the shooting day. This is to make proper arrangements on the light and to determine where to stand when taking shots. They should come clear on the date to receive the images and the channel to use as well as the size of pictures. If satisfied, estimate the process and hire the one best fits your needs.
