Tell me about your hotel.
The more I know at the start, the more useful my first reply. A short note covering these is enough:
The property and its location
What the images are for: opening, renovation, refresh, campaign
Rough dates and whether they're fixed
Areas to cover: rooms, outlets, spa, lifestyle, aerial
I reply within 24 hours.
How many images does your hotel actually need?
My scope builder answers that in a few minutes. Tell it about your hotel and it estimates the number of images you need.
I built it from twenty years inside hotels, on the commercial side and from every shoot since.
