HBTT Studio
Cinematic content for hotels, destinations & travel brands

We photograph the feeling of arriving.

HBTT Studio makes slow, intentional photography for boutique and luxury hospitality. We show the light in a room, the quiet of a garden at dusk, and the details a guest remembers, so travelers feel your property before they book it.

Imagery that works for your property

Beautiful photographs are the start. Each shoot is planned around where the images will be used and what they need to do for your bookings.

Your website & direct booking

Hero images and room galleries that show the true feel of each space.

Social all year

A deep library of stills with vertical crops ready for Reels and Stories.

Listings & press

Clean, accurate coverage for booking platforms, media kits and travel writers.

Brand consistency

One color grade and point of view across every season and campaign.


Properties & stays

Complete visual stories for individual properties, from arrival to last light. Scroll each collection and tap any image to view it full size.


Destinations

Place-led work for tourism boards and travel brands, from Hallstatt and Lindos to the San Blas islands and Marrakech's medina.

Ways to work together

We work with a small number of partners at a time. That way every property gets the same unhurried attention on site and in the edit.

Single engagement

Signature Feature

One on-property shoot built around your story: the rooms, the table, the grounds and the hours when they look their best.

  • Interiors, amenities, dining and exterior coverage
  • Golden-hour and blue-hour sessions
  • Lifestyle frames with talent on request
  • Curated, color-graded edit for web, print and social
For boutique hotels, openings and renovations

  • A steady supply of social-ready stills with vertical crops
  • Priority booking and a dedicated creative lead
  • An archive organized by room, season and campaign

Campaign

Destination Story

A place-led campaign that frames a region the way a traveler first meets it: the streets, the coast, the food and the people.

  • Itinerary-based shoot planned with your team
  • Hero imagery plus a deep library of supporting frames
  • Partner-property and experience features
  • Usage terms agreed up front for each channel
For tourism boards, cruise lines and tour operators

Questions from partners

The things hotel and tourism teams usually ask before booking.

Where can we use the images?

Every project includes a written usage license covering the channels we agree on, such as your website, social media, booking listings, email and print. Extended or paid-advertising use can be added in the proposal.

Do you travel to our property?

Yes. As the portfolio shows, we work across North America, Europe and beyond. Travel is planned with your team and included in the proposal.

How do you work around our guests?

We keep a small, quiet footprint, schedule public spaces around your occupancy, and only photograph guests who have given permission. Lifestyle scenes use our own talent or people you provide.

How long until we receive the images?

The delivery date depends on the scope of the shoot and is set in writing in your proposal, so your team can plan launches around it.

What do you need from us?

A point of contact, access to rooms and spaces on the agreed schedule, and any brand guidelines. We handle the shot list, styling direction and timing around the light.

How does a retainer work?

We agree on a set number of seasonal visits and coverage days per year, with priority dates for launches and events. The term and schedule are set out in the proposal.
