Hospitality photography involves shooting luxury resorts and hotel destinations. It combines a variety of photographic fields. It involves skills in architectural, interior, landscape, still-life, travel, and portrait photography. Each field calls for its own techniques in timing, light metering, composition and framing. It calls for different techniques in aperture, ISO level, white balance, and shutter speed adjustment. Finally, each photographic style also needs various equipment including tripods, diffusers, reflectors, box lights, lenses, filters, and hoods. In terms of style, this ultimately depends on the photographer or client. Ultimately, the photographs should compel visitors to travel and stay at these accommodations. Below are examples of effective but affordable marketing tools that freelance hospitality photographers can use to promote their work.
