Hotel Photographer in Nancy
A hotel photo shoot designed for Nancy and its two faces
Nancy lives on two levels at once. It’s a heritage city, UNESCO-listed for place Stanislas and its 18th-century ensemble, and the historic capital of Art Nouveau with the École de Nancy. And it’s also a business and conference city, with the Centre Prouvé a short walk from the TGV station, an economy focused on healthcare and innovation, and business travellers coming from Metz, Strasbourg, Luxembourg or Paris for a few nights. Your visuals have to speak to both: the tourist won over by the heritage, and the business traveller booking at the last minute between two meetings.
Today a hotel in Nancy lives on several channels at once: its Booking listing, website, Instagram, TikTok, partnerships with the tourist office, press kits, Meta and Google Ads campaigns targeting business travellers in the Grand Est region. Each channel has its audience, its format, its pace. Yet most photo shoots deliver one uniform series, designed for a press kit from another era.
What a hotel photo shoot in Nancy includes
A complete photo library for your website and OTAs
Rooms, suites, public areas, restaurant, bar, spa, meeting rooms, exteriors. High-definition files in the formats required by Booking, Expedia, Hotels.com and business 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, an informal meeting in the lounge, a bartender in mid-service, a silhouette on place Stanislas in the early morning. 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 the Nancy tourist office, visuals dedicated to Centre Prouvé and conference guests, 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 Nancy and Lorraine
I work throughout Nancy’s historic centre (place Stanislas, the station district, Saint-Sébastien), as well as in the Greater Nancy area and across Lorraine — Metz, Épinal, the Moselle valley — and occasionally further afield, towards Strasbourg or Luxembourg. Nancy is 1h30 from Paris by TGV, with its station right in the city centre, which allows for targeted single-day assignments.
The properties I work with: independent 3- to 5-star hotels, boutique hotels, charming guesthouses, business hotels and hotels with meeting facilities, 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 Guise, a boutique hotel in the Old Town, a stone’s throw from place Stanislas.
Specialising in lifestyle photo shoots, I create photographs that reflect the identity of each property in Nancy.

Why work with a photographer who specialises in hotels in Nancy?
A generalist photographer produces beautiful images. A photographer who specialises in hotels produces images that convert. And a photographer who knows Nancy’s codes produces images that speak to both heritage visitors and business travellers. The difference comes down to four specific points.
Hedi Hamadache, hotel photographer
Knowing Nancy’s dual market. A hotel in Nancy often has to win over two very different audiences: visitors who come for place Stanislas and Art Nouveau, and professionals in town for a conference at the Centre Prouvé. The visuals, and sometimes entire series, have to be designed differently for each.
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.
How much does a hotel photo shoot in Nancy cost?
Pricing depends on the number of images delivered, the number of shooting days, whether video content is included and the length of the trip. A detailed quote is sent within 48 hours after a first conversation to scope your needs.
Is travel from Paris charged as an extra?
For assignments of at least two days on site, the Paris–Nancy journey (1h30 by TGV) is included in the package at no extra cost. For shorter assignments, a travel fee applies, specified in the quote.
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 Nancy?
Yes, throughout Lorraine (Metz, Épinal) and occasionally in Strasbourg or Luxembourg, a few hours by road or train from Nancy.
How quickly are the files delivered?
Between 7 and 14 days after the shoot, depending on volume. A selection of “express” images can be delivered within 48 hours for urgent communication.
