THE LOOK
BEACH
The most important requirement for the beach shot is to showcase the environment
and surroundings. Beaches are large areas, and it is highly recommended to scout the
location for the best angles and assess the location of the sunlight and where shadows
fall during throughout the day. It is best to shoot the beach both with and without the
hotel in the shot.

6. Do not photograph the beach in shade, wait until the sun hits the area.
7. Aerial shots from a helicopter, boat or hot air balloon are permitted. If commissioning a shot such as this, be
sure to discuss with them well in advance. The photographer must sign a liability waiver. Remember that it
is the photographer’s prerogative whether he or she will be open to this. Discuss it with them before
proceeding with any down payments or helicopter reservation. Please contact our Legal Department on this
matter to discuss property liability.
8. Only incorporate beach furniture if it is made out of wood, rattan, cloth or mesh -- no plastic or vinyl.
9. No vehicles or beach buggies should be in the shot. Boats and jet skis are acceptable if well presented.
10. If the beach overlooks a unique environment, such as a mountain range or cityscape include that view.
11. Specified beach areas must be blocked off from guests during the shoot with appropriate signage clearly
displayed well in advance for guests to see. The hotel, not the photography team, is responsible for
managing guest traffic during this time.
