Lifestyle Photographer

Create a story about your hotel with Colin Stephenson, a specialist hotel lifestyle photographer.

Lifestyle photo shoots can be an experience or story in themselves. Capturing details that make up this story provide context that can make the portraits more meaningful.

Essentially, lifestyle photography is the halfway point between posed portrait sessions and candid documentary photography. In hotel lifestyle photography, you try to capture life as it is, but instead of waiting for perfect, everyday moments to happen, you plan a photo shoot that will naturally create those moments.

Lifestyle portraits are a great option for photographers and models who don’t like the staged look of posed portraits. A lifestyle shoot is never 100% authentic because it’s been planned and set up as a shoot. Nevertheless, you can get images that reflect real life. The activities, locations, and expressions are all genuine parts of the person’s life, not something you created for the photoshoot alone.

If you want to get a lot of great photos within a short period of time, you still have to do some directing. Typically, the best directions in lifestyle shoots are general and activity-related. For instance, if you’re having a picnic, you can direct where to lay down the picnic blanket, so it’s in good lighting. Or, if the current activity isn’t working, you can prompt the next one.

The lifestyle photographer anticipates photogenic moments. Many beautiful moments last only a second. That’s why it’s crucial to think in advance and start shooting before that moment happens. Keep your camera ready at all times, and shoot in burst mode, so you can catch the seconds before and after every picturesque moment.

First of all, we always recommend working with professional models. Although this has additional costs, it is undoubtedly worth it. Working with professional models who are used to posing and listening to the photographer’s directions will save you time and energy.

Models should represent the main demographics of the hotel. Pay particular attention to the age range and different ethnicities. They should look credible, not too beautiful or clichéd so that it’s easier for guests to identify themselves with the subjects.

Food & Hospitality Photography

Colin Stephenson Photography provides food and hospitality photography for hotels and restaurants in South Africa and throughout Africa. People eat with their eyes and their apps. We know how overwhelming it can be to keep up with the constant demand for content. It was a pleasure to photograph the food & interiors of the Oak Leaf Knysna Located in the heart of the Garden Route, Belvidere Estate, Knysna.

Through our photography services, we provide you with fresh images on a regular basis.
Restaurants and hotels can then use the photographs on your website, social media, marketing, advertising and with the press.

We offer half-day and full-day photo shoots to comprehensively capture your restaurant or food brand. This might be right for you if you are a new restaurant, are making significant menu updates or you are looking to totally refresh your visual style.

These shoots include stylized food, ingredient shots, kitchen process, front of house action photos, portraits, interiors and exteriors.

I work with the restaurateur to photograph menu items, restaurant ambient atmosphere images to convey the experience. I photograph restaurant interiors and exteriors, portraiture with staff in service and drinks. It is great fun to photograph food and restaurants, making great photographs of exciting energetic people in the restaurant environment.
