We hope the information below is of use to you. It is a composition of our photographic and video experience over the past 25 years. Some is relevant to hotel specific media, but most is relevant to all types of photography & video. We discuss topics such as “Five essential night time photography tips, through to “How to prepare your hotel for a photo shoot”.
Our goal here is to be an open source of photography and video tips that we have accumulated through our years of experience. If it can help someone with questions or save them time and money, then we are happy. PhotoWeb is a collection of talented and hard working photographers and videographers all working together to continually improve our quality and service for our clients.
We welcome your feedback and questions.
