Hotel Photographer in Paris
A hotel photo shoot designed for your marketing channels
Today a hotel lives on several channels at once: its Booking listing, website, Instagram, TikTok, newsletter, Meta and Google Ads campaigns. Each channel has its own formats, its own pace and, above all, its own audience. Yet most hotel photo shoots still deliver one single series, designed for a press kit from another era.
As a photographer specialising in hospitality, I work differently. In one or two days on site, I produce all the visuals your marketing team will need for the next 6 to 12 months: photos and short videos, landscape and vertical, wide shots and details, daylight and evening ambience.
What a hotel photo shoot in Paris includes
A complete photo library for your website and OTAs
Rooms, suites, public areas, restaurant, bar, spa, exteriors. High-definition files in the formats required by Booking, Expedia, Hotels.com and luxury booking platforms. Careful retouching, no heavy filters, true to the real atmosphere of your property.
Photo and video content for your social media
4:5 and 9:16 formats, vertical Instagram Reels and TikToks, carousels designed as genuine mini-series, visuals adapted to stories. Your community managers receive files ready to post as they are — not to be re-cropped in a rush the day before.
Lifestyle visuals with people
Breakfast being served, a check-in in progress, a silhouette in a corridor, a bartender in mid-service. The kind of images that genuinely drive engagement on social media, where empty shots and spotless but soulless rooms often fall flat.
Press series and paid campaigns
For your press kits, your partnerships with premium OTAs, your Meta Ads and Google Ads campaigns and your outdoor advertising. Files delivered in the resolutions and ratios each medium requires.
Let’s talk about your project
Every project is a story to tell, a world to reveal and an experience to share. Together, let’s turn your property into a memorable and desirable experience.
Hotels I work with in Paris and the Île-de-France region
I work in every arrondissement of Paris — the Marais, Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Montmartre, Opéra, the Champs-Élysées, Bastille, Canal Saint-Martin — as well as across the Île-de-France region, and occasionally elsewhere in France or abroad.
The properties I work with: independent 3- to 5-star hotels, boutique hotels, charming guesthouses, palaces, small hotel groups, serviced residences and upscale aparthotels. I work on hotel openings as well as brand repositionings, website redesigns, changes of affiliation or a simple yearly refresh of marketing content. Recently, I photographed the Hôtel de Berri, the restaurant Le Schiap, the Hôtel du Parc and La Demeure Montaigne.
Specialising in lifestyle photo shoots, I create photographs that reflect the image of your property.
Other series shot in Paris: the InterContinental Paris Champs-Élysées, the Hôtel Monte Cristo, Café Lacoste, Caves Saint-Gilles, Terraza Mikuna, Ma Bourgogne, the Musée Rodin, the Musée Carnavalet, the Archives nationales, the Hôtel de la Marine, Taste of Paris 2026 and Les Georgettes’ 10th anniversary at the Dandy Hotel. Outside Paris, 75 km away, Château d’Augerville.

Why work with a photographer who specialises in hotels?
A generalist photographer produces beautiful images. A photographer who specialises in hotels produces images that convert. The difference comes down to three specific points.
Knowing the channels. The same space isn’t photographed the same way for Booking, for an Instagram Reel or for a Meta campaign. Ratios, vanishing points, information density and lighting all differ. An experienced hotel photographer delivers the right versions for each use straight away, with no reprocessing.
Understanding operations. Photographing a hotel in full operation means working around housekeeping schedules, guest arrivals, breakfast service and peak hours at the bar. A photographer used to hotels knows how to organise a shoot without the operations manager having to worry for a single minute.
A marketing mindset. A hotel photo shoot is not an architecture session. The goal is to trigger a booking, a click, a share. Every frame, every lifestyle scene, every staged moment is designed with that goal in mind.
Hedi Hamadache, hotel photographer in Paris
I’m Hedi Hamadache, a photographer based in Paris. My background as a multimedia engineer leads me to think of every image in terms of its final use, and to treat still photography and short-form video as two inseparable parts of the same production. Today I work mainly with upscale hotels and restaurants in Paris and the Île-de-France region.
How much does a hotel photo shoot in Paris cost?
Pricing depends on the number of images delivered, the number of shooting days and whether video content is included. A detailed quote is sent within 48 hours after a first conversation to scope your needs.
Who takes care of styling and preparing the spaces during the shoot?
Your team stays in charge of preparation (housekeeping, F&B, front desk), but I send you a precise checklist beforehand of everything that needs to be ready for each scene. On the day, I work hand in hand with your teams on the final adjustments.
Can I use the images for paid campaigns and social media?
Yes. Usage rights for all digital marketing purposes — website, social media, OTAs, Meta campaigns, Google Ads, email marketing — are included by default. Press and outdoor advertising uses are covered by an additional licence, specified in the quote.
Do you work outside Paris?
Yes: in the Île-de-France region with no travel surcharge, and elsewhere in France or abroad on quotation.
Do you also make videos for Instagram and TikTok?
Yes. I shoot and edit short vertical formats (Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts) during the photo shoot. Filming is organised alongside the photography to make the most of the time on site.
How quickly are the files delivered?
Between 10 and 15 working days after the shoot, depending on volume. A selection of “express” images can be delivered within 48 hours for urgent communication (opening, press event, campaign).
