Michelle says: “As a professional hotel photographer, over the years I have acquired wide expertise, so it is a joy to be able to share my knowledge about luxury and historic hotel photography via a keynote speech. Hoteliers know exactly how to run and manage a hotel, but do they really know how to do the same for a hotel photo shoot?” Michelle gives sound easy to understand advice on the subject of hotel photography and clearly explains how strong visuals across your website, social media and marketing collateral, can not only make that particular hotel stand out, its also known that quality photography will encourage reservations.
