Hospitality Portrait & Headshot Photography built around service hours
The visits we run for headshots on a hotel follow a repeatable sequence, tightened by hundreds of previous shoots. Hotel imagery has to survive booking-engine crops, OTA thumbnails and a printed rate card at the same time, so the shot list is built around those three destinations before anything is framed.

Brief
How a hospitality shoot is scheduled.
studio-style lighting on location with neutral or branded backgrounds. Nothing is over-lit; the aim is a room that looks like itself on arrival.
Constraints
What shapes the shoot
- •Rooms must be shot between checkout and check-in, which usually leaves a four-hour working window.
- •Public areas cannot be closed, so frames are timed around service rather than staged empty.
- •Housekeeping sign-off on each room is agreed in advance so no frame has to be reshot.
