Hospitality photography that looks like a place, not a brochure.
I shoot hotels, inns, restaurants, wineries and B&Bs across the Hudson Valley and Catskills. Editorial in feel, documentary in approach. Real light, real guests where the release allows, the rooms looking the way they actually look at 4:30pm — not the way an overlit catalog wants them to look.
Most hospitality photography looks like every other hospitality photography. A wide-angle lobby shot. A plate of food shot straight down. A bed perfectly made with one corner of the duvet folded over. Fine — you might need a few of those. But that's not what makes a guest book. What makes a guest book is the feeling that someone they trust has already been there.
The full property, the way guests experience it.
Spaces
Rooms, suites, common areas, grounds, restaurant, bar, spa. Shot at the right hour, not the convenient hour — golden-hour exteriors, blue-hour interiors with lamps doing the work.
Food & beverage
Plates as the kitchen actually plates them. No glycerin, no garnish props. Cocktails, wine service, the open kitchen. Shot during a real service when the line is moving.
Guests & staff
Real guests where the release allows, or styled talent that doesn't look like talent. Front desk, bartenders, sommeliers, housekeeping. The people who make the place run.
Two days on site, two weeks to delivery.

Scout call
30 minutes on the phone. You walk me through the property, the marketing angle, the rooms and angles you've never been happy with. I make a shot list.

One- or two-day shoot
Dawn to after-dinner. I work alone or with a single assistant — no eight-person crew rearranging your lobby. Most properties need 1.5 days for full coverage; resorts and inns with grounds need 2.
