Hotel Photography in Siem Reap – How Professional Photos Increase Your Bookings

As a professional hotel photographer in Siem Reap, I’ve seen how the right images can transform your sales from average to great. Images with good lighting and feeling can be the difference between guests choosing somewhere else or booking your property. I’ve photographed city hotels such as The Aviary near busy Pub Street and Sivutha Boulevard – showcasing with drone photos their great rooftop pool located right in the center of town, and other properties such as the famous Viroth’s Hotel in Wat Bo, where the focus was more on their quiet surroundings and being an escape from the city.

Why Hotels Need Professional Photography

• First impressions drive bookings – Guests scroll through dozens of hotels on booking sites. Clear, inviting images stop them in their tracks.
• Show your best side – Professional photography highlights spacious rooms, Relaxing sun drenched pools, and the atmosphere that makes your property unique.
• Consistency across platforms – Whether it’s Booking.com, Expedia, or your hotel’s own website, a strong set of photos ensures your branding looks professional everywhere.

Why Can’t I use my phone or get my friend who has a good camera to shoot my hotel?

You Can. Many smaller independent hotels may choose to do this, but there is a reason that larger hotels and resorts choose to pay a professional photographer. Though it is easy these days to take ‘good photos’ a professional photographer will have consistency over the span of their images, will know how to balance light correctly, and make the images feel warm and inviting. It’s the emotion in a photo that helps sell your hotel. Light plays a huge role in this, and years of photography experience will show in your images. A professional photographer will also know how to add light to a scene to fill in dark areas, show the view from the rooms properly, and make your images stand out.

How Professional Photos Increase Your Bookings

Hotels that invest in professional photography often see:

• Higher click-through rates on OTAs (Booking.com, Agoda, etc.).
• More direct bookings from guests who trust the quality of your presentation.
• A stronger brand identity, helping you stand out among competitors.

In a market like Siem Reap, where travelers have endless choices, professional visuals can be the difference between a guest scrolling past or clicking “Book Now.”

Why Choose me as Your Hotel Photographer in Siem Reap?

Based in Siem Reap for over 10 years, I’ve worked with hotels ranging from boutique guesthouses to international resorts. I understand the market and I understand what travelers look for when they browse hotels in Siem Reap and Cambodia – and how to capture it in a way that converts views into bookings. See my Hotel Portfolio here.

I’ve worked with teams of 10 people on set through to being alone shooting a whole hotel. However you prefer to work, I adapt to you to deliver the best possible results.

Using advanced photography skills, I use a combination of artificial and natural lighting to make your images pop. I’m an expert in the editing process, making sure your images look as good as they can.

Whilst other photographers may only specialize in property images I also offer food photography and video also.

My Hotel Photography Approach

Every hotel has its own story. My role is to capture that in a way that attracts your ideal guests. Here’s how I approach a hotel shoot:

1. Planning for the Right Light – Shooting at the right time of day to capture natural light and ambience.
2. Attention to Detail – From bed styling to room angles, everything is set to look its best.
3. Variety of Shots – Depending on your package, I can provide wide-room shots for spaciousness, detail shots for atmosphere, and lifestyle shots to make guests imagine themselves there.
