The very best in luxury accommodation needs the highest standard of
photographic creativity to reveal the attention to detail you have devoted
to making your guests feel comfortable. Images that reflect refinement,
warmth, intimacy and sophistication and sets your establishment apart
from the mass market. This is what I work to achieve. Extensive experience
in photographing food and drink, travel, people and interiors provide
me with just the right background for the luxury hotel market.
Knowing when natural light needs a little extra artificial help without
spoiling the ambience, which angle best conveys a room’s charms
and assets, when a different photographic style may be needed for inspirational
images or when a more functional approach is needed, these are things
that require extensive experience and a sympathetic eye. Being in control
of your photographic resources also means being accomplished as a creative
digital technician and after a shoot much time is spent optimizing the
images to ensure the highest quality results.
The recent work shown here was commissioned by various exclusive hotels, especially the Baglioni group in Italy as well as several Relais Chateaux hotels in France and select country house hotels in the UK. My other website, www.heseltine.co.uk, shows a wider range of work as well as information about my written work which has helped to contribute to projects like the new Baglioni website featuring specially commissioned text about the Italian destinations and the experience of staying in their hotels, a further dimension to my understanding of the luxury hotel market.
