Gevorg Zurnachyan - Hotel Photographer There is a big difference between being a professional photographer and a professional hotel photo shooter. The trickiest part is that you must pay attention to every detail of hotel room interior to be able to show everything on one photo and do it in high quality. Nowadays, hotels work very closely with Online Travel Agencies and these agencies can have various requirements. Several well known OTAs demand minimum 4 photos per room, so you must show all the room with its facilities and amenities in only 4 photos. Other OTAs have limitations and allow maximum of 2 photos per room, and these are the most difficult cases, because you need to get creative here with technics you use while shooting and some tactics when editing, like shooting with fish-eye lenses then deeply and carefully editing each photo. The ultimate result/goal is not to disappoint the guest who chose the hotel based on the good pictures, this means presenting the rooms and amenities in the most presentable way possible, but also portraying it very close to the reality.
