What has happened? One day everything was “normal” and overnight it changed. But what is “Normal”? According to a dictionary the definition is “conforming to a standard; usual, typical, or expected.” “Normal” in everyday life 50 years ago was not normal last year. It has changed over time. Two months ago we were living life as normal and then the Coronavirus pandemic spread rapidly across the World. Countries closed borders , shops, restaurants, cinemas, sporting events and literally overnight the normal changed drastically. In this blog we’ll cover the reason why the right photographs will help convince customers to book with you. The right photographs will help hotels after coronavirus. Where are we now? As I write this, people in different countries around the world are in different stages of dealing with the coronavirus. Some countries and even smaller regions were affected on a greater or lesser scale by the […]
Amazing photography of Salzburg during corona virus days
The corona virus lockdown has changed the World and also created an amazing photography experience At the time of writing this blog I am in day 11 of social distancing rules in Austria. Most of the World is operating under new social distancing rules. These rules have left the streets quieter in order to stop the spread of the Covid 19 virus and also created an amazing photography experience. Under normal circumstances I photograph hotels for a living. My work started drying up a couple of weeks ago as the uncertainty started to kick-in. I can’t work from home as I photograph hotels on location and I usually travel extensively. So with that stark reality hitting home, like millions of other people I can’t worry about the future 24 hours per day. So between the worry of where and when my next job and income may come from I thought […]
A different viewpoint
A couple of years ago following a family vacation to Europe and getting a different viewpoint in life, my wife and I had several discussions about spending more time in Europe. As we’re both originally from England there are certain things one misses over the years living in the USA. Deep down there is a longing to experience more of those things you know exist, but just can’t experience due to your geographical location. So much so, that we looked into things and took it a step further. My eldest daughter is now grown-up and has graduated college and is setting her life up in the US. My youngest daughter at age 11 has a flexibility window beginning to close as she heads for teenage years. It was a case of “now or never”. Also with Brexit getting delayed a few times, it was easier for us to move to […]
Hotel Design – the dawning of a new era
As a hotel photographer I have seen and photographed a wide variety of hotels since 2003, Ranging from small independent boutique hotels to Full service luxury brand hotels. As my hotel photography career has evolved I find myself photographing more up-scale properties and brands. I have seen trends in hotel design come and go, but when can you say that things have changed forever? Never to go back? It’s a bit like when you see an old movie from the 60’s or 80’s. The hair styles, the clothes and the cars on the street. They look completely different than they do today and really set the era. The cars on the street are not swapped out overnight, they come and go as designs evolve until eventually they nearly all look different to cars 20 years previous. Moving away from Tuscan tiles and colors Up until about three or four years […]
