The one-hour phone shot list.
Twelve shots that sell the experience rather than the room. One hour, one phone, no photographer required. Work through them in order and you will walk away with a fortnight of content.
The first thing a guest sees when they pull up or walk in. Shoot it at their eye level, exactly as they would experience it.
Wherever the sun lands first, coffee cup, window seat, verandah. Golden hour does the styling for you.
The thing guests mention in reviews. A fireplace, an outdoor bath, the homemade sourdough. Fill the frame with it.
Pouring wine, plating a dish, opening a gate. Movement and hands make a feed feel human, not staged.
Lie on the bed and shoot what a guest wakes up to. This one sells more stays than any exterior shot.
Not on a white background. On the table, on the deck, at the cellar door, with the setting in the frame.
A path, a track, a doorway mid-stride. Implied movement invites the viewer to imagine themselves there.
You, a team member, the winemaker. Fifteen seconds of a real person beats an hour of drone footage.
Rain on the window, wind in the trees, fog on the vines. Atmosphere is the South West’s best asset. Use it.
Setting tables, turning beds, lighting the fire. Behind-the-scenes builds trust and fills quiet content weeks.
One wide establishing shot at dusk. Shoot it once a season and you have a hero image that stays current.
The gate, the last view down the drive, the wave. End-of-stay emotion is the most shareable moment you have.
