Integrating Aerial and Traditional Photography for a Cohesive Visual Narrative In the dynamic world of hospitality, differentiation is key. The advent of digital technology and social media has transformed how hotels present themselves. An emerging trend in this landscape is the seamless integration of traditional photography and aerial photography, creating a comprehensive visual journey for potential guests.

One to remember As a hotel photographer, I’ve had the pleasure of capturing the essence of numerous motels, hotels, and resorts around the world.

With the additional costs of international flights, I’ve had to plan my trips more strategically. […]
