Hotels collaborate with photographers to enhance their social media presence and competitive edge. You don't need a large following, but you should align your brand and niche with the hotel's brand and audience, creating content that resonates with them.
Relationship building with the hotel's marketing or public relations teams is crucial. This can be done by attending industry events, engaging with them online, and sending personalized pitches. LinkedIn and Instagram are useful platforms for this purpose.
Building a portfolio is necessary to showcase your previous work. This can be done by shooting content while on vacation, buying a day pass to a luxury hotel, offering services to influencers visiting luxury hotels, or working with production houses or agencies.
Emphasize short vertical videos in your portfolio because they're impactful and sought after by hotels. Packaging your content professionally is important; your pitch should showcase your brand and highlight why a collaboration would be beneficial to both parties.
Stay flexible and open to negotiation when approaching hotels. Be patient as many hotels may reject your proposal before one accepts. After a successful collaboration, follow up with the hotel or agency, maintain the relationship and over-deliver on the agreed deliverables for the best outcome.
