Obtaining professional hotel photography for your hospitality business or professional destination photos for your region depends clearly on the photographer’s expertise.

Photographer Costas Zissis has been professionally operating in this field for over 20 years and for over 30 years in tourist destination photography

We work closely with luxury hotels, villas, and resorts, cozy family-run inns, as well as tourism organizations.
We help professionals promote their tourism products in the most effective way, doing justice to their high investments.

Both, in tourism businesses and tourist destinations, we work with some of the leading experts in the tourism sector, and this collaboration adds significant value to the visual communication tools we provide to our customers.

Our concept

Our photographic approach focuses primarily, but not exclusively, on:
A. the artistic quality and technical excellence of the visual material delivered.
B. on capturing the distinctive character and aesthetic uniqueness of a tourist facility, location, or destination.
C. the correct and accurate presentation of infrastructure, in order to avoid creating undesirable, false impressions on potential customers.
D. Creating the most attractive photos and videos possible of the spaces, views, infrastructure, and services of a hospitality facility, aiming to immediately capture the interest of online searchers.

Requirements
for an optimal result

Ιt is particularly important to prepare and organize the photo shoot thoroughly, as well as to schedule it in advance, so that:
I. There are a sufficient number of vacant and carefully prepared representative rooms or apartments in the facility. The full functionality and ideal appearance of all common areas and infrastructure, such as the swimming pool, are ensured. Details make all the difference, so special attention should be paid to them during preparation. For example, there should be no imperfections or objects with visible damage, light bulbs with non-functioning lamps or differences in the color balance of the lighting between them, untidied and unpressed sheets on the beds, common areas with fallen leaves, etc.
II. The choice of the additional expense of hiring the services of a professional stylist often proves to be a positive one.
III. The same applies to the services of professional models for the photo shoot, who should, in line with the main customer base of the unit, usually be aged 35 and over.
The photo shoot must be carried out in close cooperation with and in the constant presence of the owner or a designated manager of the establishment.
IV. The choice of time for taking photographs or video filming, should not only be carried out in best weather conditions and without significant cloud cover, but should also ideally coincide with the flowering season in the outdoor areas to be recorded. Photography or video recording should be planned based on the favorable lighting hours for each location. Similarly, night shots depend on the seasonally variable blue hour zone, after sunset.
V. Regardless of professional assumptions, certainties, and market standards, personal preferences, when they do not contradict the former, are respected. On this basis, they are of course welcome, and it is always particularly helpful to provide indicative websites of similar companies in the industry as examples of the style and content of the photographs.
