The start of a new year always feels like the perfect opportunity to take stock, work out what needs improving and set to it with gusto! That's the idea anyway.
For many hotels, the post Christmas/New Year quieter winter months are the ideal opportunity to catch up with all those jobs that have built up over the busy season. It might be that the rooms need a bit of an update or perhaps there are exciting plans afoot to have a completely new scheme. Whatever is on the cards, a fresh set of photographs is an easy way to update your website. I know from personal experience that adding new images on my own site always helps increase the visitor numbers and, as long as I keep up with my SEO, leads to an influx of work enquiries.
It seems that alongside the reviews, guests really base their decision on whether to book a hotel on the images - they like to peruse the bedrooms, zoom in on the views and even have a good snoop around the ensuite! A successful social media influencer can be a brilliant asset, but a beautifully produced set of hotel photography is always essential for attracting guests.
Please do email me or use the contact page on the website, if you would like to know my rates. I can do a complete set of hotel images including bedrooms, public rooms, outside spaces, spa or pool area, staff members and food or a smaller shoot if you're just wanting to refresh your existing library. I’m very flexible and friendly and will fit in with your schedule; I know how busy it can be in an hotel!

Please let me know if you would like to see a more tailored set of images; I’m happy to help so please contact me if you have any queries. Special thanks to Swinton House, The Grove in Watford, Bowood House, and Gravetye Manor Hotel for the images.
