Photo and reel sets for city and rooftop hotels

The city hotel, hour by hour.

Coffee at seven, pool at one, bar at seven, room at eleven. I shoot the full day so guests can picture theirs.

Quiet weeknights, room only, for two. Everything agreed in writing before we arrive.

What I'd shoot at your property

24 hours in the hotel

A day from first coffee to last light. The pool is a reference from a past stay. The city scenes get shot at your hotel.

Questions a GM asks

How does the partnership work?
We agree on a hosted stay in exchange for a defined package of photography and video deliverables. Everything is confirmed in writing before arrival, including dates, content, delivery timelines and usage rights.
Who comes?
Two of us, one room. No crew and no big lighting kit. We sort our own meals and transport.
What do we get?
For two nights: 18 edited photos, 1 cinematic vertical reel and 3 raw clips, delivered within 7 to 10 days of checkout. The 3-night Full Story is 25 photos, 2 reels and 5 clips.
Can we run it in ads?
Your website and organic social are included. Paid ads, booking sites and print are licensed separately, and I'll quote it. I keep the right to show the work in my portfolio.
Will it disturb guests?
I shoot in low-demand hours, never close an amenity, and keep other guests out of frame.
Drone?
Only where it's legal and you're fine with it. If either isn't true, no drone.
Is it in writing?
Yes. A one-page confirmation with dates, room, deliverables, delivery date and usage before I arrive.
Is this a free-stay request?
No. It's a fixed set of deliverables, agreed in writing, for two low-demand nights you choose.
