• First, we like to get to know our clients, followed by a brief project overview over the phone or by email.
• We believe in “adding a face to the voice” approach, this is how we think a good start of a relationship begins. We discuss your project and accommodate any questions over a coffee.
• Provide a proposal and once agreed, we plan a recce visit.
• We brainstorm ideas/develop mood boards according to the brand’s photography guidelines.
• We discuss availability and what preparations and props are required for the photoshoot. 
• The shoot day: depending on the project, it takes anything from 4-5 hours for small projects (food)  to 2 or more days for large assignments (interior and exterior). Duration also depends on the number of images, internal preparation, hotel operations, and even occupancy. Although we use strobe lights, the overall look is subtle and natural.
• Retouching: also depending on the image count and how complex are the images .
• Proof sheet: after the first stage of enhancement, we send by email a sheet all images for our clients to select the agreed number of images as per their preference.
• After the selection has been made, we refine the project (further retouching if needed).
• Deliver the final project work as per signed agreement.

The project might be complete but not the process, we won’t just leave you as soon as it is complete; we are always just an email or phone call away.

The recent tendency for most hospitality brands is to keep the image style as natural as possible, away from rendered-looking appearance. This process is aligned with the individual brand photography guidelines. Even high-end post-processing involves color cast correction, exposure blending, focus stacking, removal of objects, dust and blemishes, sharpening and straightening. We do not use the HDR technique. Have a look at the examples above.

High-resolution JPG  images are delivered via online transfer minimum of 5 working days. Large projects can take a month or longer. We prioritise images on an urgent basis. 

We provide the client with fully edited high-resolution JPG images as per the number of images agreed prior to the photoshoot. Once delivered, they cannot be replaced / exchanged with another image. Additional images can be offered at the rate mentioned in the quotation / agreement. We are unable to provide RAW files or unedited images. 

Yes. With an exception for a brand architecture shoot where each image is decided during the photoshoot, we provide the client with a proof sheet with all images to select. Once they have been finalised and delivered, images cannot be swapped with another or cancelled. 

This depends on the project and number of images. A proof sheet with all retouched images will be sent by email to the client within 7 working days and after the selection has been made, images will be further refined which might take between 2 weeks to 30 working days. However, if the images are more than 45, we can prioritise and provide a few images on an urgent basis.

Up to 2 locations per half day photoshoot (4 hours) and up to 4 locations for a full day (8 hours) within the same facility.
