Returning to MB Hotel Miami Beach for a fourth time to photograph new meeting rooms, a top-floor gym and a rooftop now designed to host breakfast, weddings and private events.
Manolis had created two meeting rooms and a gym from areas of the hotel that had previously gone unused. The rooftop restaurant, bar and ocean terrace had also been adapted for breakfast, weddings and private events. The photographs needed to show each new use clearly, without losing the relaxed character of the hotel.
This was my fourth shoot at MB Hotel since 2021, so I knew the property well and could see how much had changed. Manolis walked me through each space and explained what he wanted it to become. That context matters: once I understand how a room is meant to work, I can photograph it with greater purpose. We covered the new meeting rooms and gym, then photographed the rooftop from breakfast through to evening event lighting, supported by aerial views that place the hotel in its wider Miami Beach setting.
56 final photographs covering meetings, events, wellness, food and beverage, public spaces and aerial views.
Hotel website, OTA listings, meetings and events sales, social media and wider marketing.
Returning to the same hotel over several years is one of the most rewarding parts of my work. Manolis is understated about the changes, but each visit reveals another part of a clear and steadily developing vision. Being trusted to document that progress—and to help present it to future guests and event clients—is a genuine pleasure.

Takes a village but your photography certainly helps capture its essence!
