How To Choose Your Resort Photographer

By Joseph Hill


After you complete constructing or remodeling you resort, you are supposed to post or change the pictures in your hotel website. The appropriate way to do this is by hiring a professional photographer to perform the shooting. You should be careful to select the best resort photographer for best quality images.

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.

You should know the exact date and time you want the shots taken hence ask the professional will be available on that date. This will help in making sure everything will go on as planned and will not delay your plans.

It is advisable to ask if the expert is the one to take pictures or there will be another person sent to perform the work. A qualified expert is one who takes the shots and not the one who sends other peoples and the employees or their assistance to curry out the task. Be clear you want no one unknown to you should come and start the task.

Negotiate about the price charge after the photographer understands the quality and number of images you want. You also need to be enlightened on whether the charges are priced per photo, per day and any other charges included in the amount. It is good to know if you will be the one providing for lodgings, food, and transport and editing charges. The copyright of the pictures should be discussed to understand to which level you own the photographs.

Get the crew number from the professional and make sure they are not many since the more the number the more they charge. The number of days to perform the task is another thing to consider. Make sure you ask the number of shots they can make in a day. High quality photos should be between 6 and 10 max but if this goes beyond ten, then, the quality is questionable. The duration to take a single shot should be not less than 45minutes and should not exceed one hour.

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.
