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. However, there was one hotel I shot last year that has stuck in mind like no other – the River Rock Inn in Green River, Utah. Let me take you on a journey through this charming establishment that Tracy and Greg, the owners, transformed into a true gem. Where in the World……… Nestled in the heart of Green River, a small town with a population of just under 1,000 residents, River Rock Inn stands as a testament to the adventurous spirit that runs through this quaint corner of Utah. The town itself has a rich history, dating back to its establishment as a supply center for the mining industry in the late 1800s. Today, it retains its Western charm while embracing the beauty of the surrounding […]
Kuwait City Luxury Hotel Photography
As a luxury hotel photographer with a passion for architectural photography, my recent work trip to Kuwait City to photograph the new Marriott Executive Apartments was a dream come true. Since relocating to Europe to expand my photography horizons, photographing hotels in the Middle East has been a goal of mine, and I was thrilled to have the opportunity to capture this beautiful new property. In the heart Kuwait City The Marriott Executive Apartments are situated right in the very center of Kuwait City, on top of the luxury Assima Mall. As I arrived in Kuwait in February, just before the hotel was due to open, I was excited to be among the first to photograph this stunning property. This was my first official shoot for Marriott in the Middle East, and I couldn’t wait to get started. My knowledge of Kuwait up to this point was based on what […]
International Travel during the Pandemic
As a self employed International Hotel Photographer. My clients are in different countries, so I do a lot of international travel. On March 11th I was working in the USA on a job when then President, Donald Trump announced he was banning international travel and specifically at that time, Europeans entering the United States. I flew out of Miami to Austria just hours before the ban took effect. Just hours after arriving back home in Austria, the first lockdown went into effect there. Just like everybody else there were so many emotions and worries that came to mind. Fast forward to today (10 months later) and I am preparing to leave on only my fifth work trip since March 2020 and here we are staring at a potential third wave of Corona virus. But this time I feel a bit different about it and I’ll explain why. Why I travel […]
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 […]
