Culture / Process / Approach
Culture
The spaces remain, but the vision travels.
In the world of high-end hospitality and design, a photograph is more than a record of a structure; it is the truth of an experience. I believe that to truly represent a project, a photographer must capture not just the physical space, but the atmosphere—the exact feeling of being within that space.
You have invested months, or perhaps years, into perfecting the details of your vision. My role is to translate that dedication into visual assets that resonate internationally. By spending dedicated time within a project, I am able to observe how light and shadow interact with your space, discovering the "spirit" of the environment that a rushed shoot would miss.
I operate on a foundation of absolute transparency and collaboration. From our first meeting to the final digital delivery, my process is designed to be seamless and professional, ensuring that the final results are as exceptional as the spaces themselves.
Process
My workflow is a deliberate, three-phase journey designed to transform a physical space into a compelling visual narrative. Every project follows this structured evolution:
1. Pre-Production
Anything and everything we can do to make the shoot day go smoothly and efficiently including:
– pre-shoot phone conversations or meetings
– advanced scouts (if applicable)
– creating a contact list
– contingency planning
– addressing any logistical concerns.
During this time, I will also send the terms which must be agreed to prior to shoot.
2. Shoot Day
After arriving at the location, greetings, walkthrough, and getting settled in and set up, the shoot will begin.
While I will be photographing as much as I can during the shoot day, I may spend anywhere up to 60 minutes on each shot when needed.
I may move furniture and adjust or move everyday items to enhance the décor for the best possible images.
3. Post-Production
This stage is where the vision culminates into final imagery. Processing often takes as much time as the shoot itself, with a standard turnaround of seven business days.
The workflow includes culling, color grading, and advanced retouching to achieve my signature ambient look. Once processed, a proof-sheet is delivered for final client selection. Any additional retouching beyond the proofing stage can be provided via a separate quote.
