Hotel and Resort Photography

PanaViz was contracted by the firm of Hawaii architect, Jeffrey Long, to document and showcase this fabulous Kapalua Resort Home.

This dwelling is one of only 4 beachfront properties available in prestigious Kapalua, Maui. A contemporary architectural masterpiece, it was a pleasure to photograph this lodging. We tried to capture the ambiance, location, and the many architectural features of this luxury Hawaiian Retreat through a combination of aerial panoramas and lots of still photos taken during the day, afternoon, evening and night.

Luxury Maui Resort Home Photography

Our aerial 360 virtual tours capture the magnificent oceanfront setting of this fabulous villa. Our full screen virtual tours also fabulously showcased the 18 foot disappearing Sapele corner pocket doors, and the fabulous wood detail on the ceilings.

As with many luxury Hawaiian lodgings, the division between indoor and outdoor living spaces are blurred, and we were able to show the beauty of this home and its surroundings through a combination of architectural still photographs and HD virtual tours.

PanaViz chose to showcase this luxury lodging through a combination still photographs, 360 degree panoramas and a narrated video.

The still photographs show vignettes of the many beautiful vistas that come with this property. Photos show the deep blues of midday, and present scenes that we wished to emphasize.

Hotel Photography – How to Display Your Visual Content

For hotel marketing departments, getting good visuals of their property can be the easy part.

Hired a great hotel photographer = check.
Blocked rooms, staged areas, worked with various staff to ensure a successful shoot = check.
Received photos and other media from photographer = check.

Implementing your hotel rich media into your property site can be challenging. You need to work with your web development team to ensure that your new hotel photographs are displayed most effectively.

By all means have your distribution partner deliver the content to the online travel agencies in their prescribed formats and sizes. You don’t have a choice in how they showcase your property, and they are not necessarily trying to have YOUR property stand out.

But it is worth a few huddles with your team to get it right on your own site.

Hotel Photo, Virtual Tour and Video in One Viewer

Display the images in as large a size as your website will allow. Full screen is best, larger monitors abound and bandwidth is cheap. Small images look like thumbnails on these behemoths.

If different types of media are produced, have them bundled so that they launch from one place with one mouse click.

Have team members view the images on various displays to test the color temperature. This is easily fixed, but do not rely on just your machine. Monitors have different color profiles, and a professional photographer is most likely using a color calibration software.

Make your media work on mobile devices, keeping in mind that Apple devices do not like flash content. Do this even if your site is not geared for mobile devices yet.

Have a book now button directly on your media. Helpful if full screen display is chosen.

Ensure that visitors do not leave your website in the process of looking at your visuals. Often a mistake made by smaller properties.

One Click Implementation

Visitors should not have to dig too deep to get to your photos and rich media. Click below to see simple one-click implementation.

Challenges

Smaller properties may use templates that do not let them make customizations easily. Conversely, large chains tend to shoe horn all their properties into a generic corporate template.

PanaViz is a full service architectural photography provider specializing in hotels and resorts. We see poor implementation of our photographs in clients large and small. Sometimes it takes a couple of years for a client to get it right! Where possible, we come up with solutions and tips for our clients on best practices for visual content implementation.

Luxury Lodging Photography

We opted to photograph this luxury lodging as dusk. It turned out to be the right call, as the lighting, feathery clouds and momentary stillness made for absolute magic for a brief moment.Sunsets are very fleeting in this location close to the equator, and the moment was lost in minutes. Full screen 360 virtual tours were used to present the luxury lodging in its entirety. We were able to show the open spaces and how the indoor and outdoor spaces melded in this beautiful retreat.

Once again, still photography was used to bring attention to the beautiful inside and outside spaces.

Once completed, a narrated video will evoke the magic and romance of this home that will beckon with a hint of drama, a dash of romance and with a promise of appealing to all your senses.
