Luxury Spa Photography

Being a Hotel and Spa photographer, may seem the dream shoot. But mostly for Spa photo-shoots it’s very hot & steamy. So I spend much of my time, trying to protect my equipment. Digital equipment ceases if steam reaches the electrics. Lenses constantly mist & have connection problems.

Another challenge is night photoshoots. This is often the case, for some areas, to ensure a clear venue & with least disruption to guests. Adding to lighting issues, with no ambient day light to mix in. Often extra lighting equipment is needed (more electrics to protect). Therefore it’s fun but very tricky!

Original Spa Images.

So thrilled to see one of the more creative shots used as the cover of European Spa Magazine’s 60th Anniversary. Obviously budgets & schedules are tight, but it always worth finding time to get these shots. I love the design of their cover with it. You can see more of Champneys magazine article here

Hotel and Spa Photographer for Eastwell County Manor

Eastwell Manor in Kent, was acquired by Champneys Health Spa Resorts. They have invested highly in refurbishing. Their new Hotel Spa is stunning. And so popular only one week after opening, we needed to book a night shoot to avoid the many many guests.

Luxurious Health Club & Spa Interior Design

The Health Club & Spa was entirely renovated. It’s new stylish interior design is amazing. Refined & luxurious. There was so much to cover, I found it hard to know where to start. But working at night, is certainly effective. Without doubt faster. The lack of usual limitations. Working around guests & other daily Hotel/Leisure activities. Eliminating these obstacles, a lot more can be covered.

For areas, not needing daylight, i’d certainly suggest this approach.

Creating stunning Spa Resort photography is always a pleasure. And staying at Eastwell’s incredible Manor House is in on my bucket list.
