Checklist: How to find the right hotel photographer
Is this hotel photographer right for me? How do I know if a hotel photographer can present my hotel in the best light?
These are questions that we encounter again and again in the hotel industry. That's why we give you the answers in this hotel photography blog post.
We have been working in professional hotel photography for over two decades and would therefore like to make the following clear right from the start: If you have a clear hotel concept and a concrete idea for your hotel photo shoot, then a professional hotel photographer can get to work. Because as a professional, it is part of the photography trade to be able to adapt to the wishes and needs of the hotel client.
However, we also see that the basics of a clear hotel concept and/or a clear idea for the hotel photo shoot are often missing. This can lead to the resulting hotel photos not meeting the client's expectations.
For this reason, the concretization of the hotel concept and the derivation of a corresponding image concept are always part of a hotel photo shoot by and with Piquant Production. Because only when the basics are clear can we tell your unique story with professional hotel photos.
What steps are important before hiring a hotel photographer?

1 - Check the professionalism of the hotel photographer
There are countless female photographers on the market. And yes, some work more professionally, others unfortunately less so. That's why it's important that you carry out a website and/or reference check beforehand.
2 - Understand the photographer's specialization
Think about which aspects of photography are most important to you. Many professional photographers specialize in drone photography, interior design or food photography, for example. If you would like to have your hotel professionally photographed, we recommend hiring a professional who specializes in hotel photography.
3 - Click through the portfolio
Take a look at the hotel photographer's portfolios and pay particular attention to the quality and style of the work. Do you like the pictures? Can you imagine working with them? Do the hotel pictures appeal to you?
4 - Get in touch
If the first three steps have led to a positive result, you can get in touch. We recommend making sure that communication with the hotel photographer runs smoothly and that she is open to your ideas and requirements. A harmonious and enriching collaboration is crucial for the success of the project.
5 - Discuss mood and styling
Hotel photography thrives on atmospheric shots and perfect styling. Discuss how these points should be implemented to ensure that you receive high-quality and professional hotel images.
