Company Description Innfocus Photography specializes in professional hotel photography for the hospitality industry. Global hotel brands, independent boutique properties, and management groups trust us to deliver high-quality visuals that meet brand standards while showcasing each property’s unique character. With a strong emphasis on consistency, efficiency, and collaboration, Innfocus helps clients strengthen their marketing and guest experience through impactful imagery. Innfocus is a preferred photography partner for Hilton and is approved for IHG and Hyatt, reflecting our commitment to quality, professionalism, and deep knowledge of hospitality brand requirements. Role Description We’re seeking an experienced commercial architectural photographer for an ongoing freelance working relationship. Projects typically involve two to three days on-site, plus travel as needed. Assignments include photographing guest rooms, public spaces, meeting facilities, dining areas, amenities, and exteriors at newly built or renovated hotels. Our operations and creative team coordinates project logistics, provides shot lists and brand guidelines, and handles final editing. The photographer leads the shoot on-site and delivers selection proofs and complete, organized RAW files through the Innfocus workflow. This role requires demonstrated commercial architectural experience. We provide brand-specific guidance and workflow onboarding, but applicants must already have the technical skills to photograph commercial architecture professionally. We’re looking for a photographer with capacity for regular assignments and an interest in building a long-term working relationship. For context, a comparable role on our team involved approximately 40 to 50 days of photography work per year in 2025 and 2026. This reflects past activity, not a guaranteed commitment. Actual assignments depend on project demand, availability, fit, and how work is distributed across the team. Responsibilities
• Photograph hotel interiors and exteriors according to project shot lists and brand standards.




• Use thoughtful composition, bracketed exposures, and supplemental flash to capture spaces accurately.
• Capture aerial exterior images by drone where included in the project scope, in compliance with local aviation regulations.
• Shoot tethered with a CamRanger to review composition, focus, exposure, and presentation details throughout each shoot.
• Lead in office coordination, manage the shooting schedule, and communicate clearly with hotel staff and management.
• Work respectfully around hotel operations and guests.
• Identify and correct presentation details before capture, including bedding, furniture placement, reflections, and distracting objects.
• Notify Innfocus promptly when access, room readiness, scheduling, or other issues affect planned coverage.
• Join pre-shoot calls and review all project materials before arriving on-site.
• Prepare selection proofs and deliver complete, accurately organized RAW files within agreed deadlines.
• Submit all deliverables through the Innfocus workflow.
• Respond professionally to feedback and apply creative direction consistently. Required Qualifications
• Proven commercial architectural photography experience, supported by a relevant portfolio.

• Proficiency with bracketed exposures and supplemental flash for interior and exterior photography.
• Ownership of a CamRanger and demonstrated proficiency with tethered capture.
• Current drone pilot certification appropriate to the assignment location.
• Working knowledge of Adobe Lightroom for culling, organizing, and preparing selection proofs.




• Confident on-site leadership and the ability to work independently.
• Excellent communication and customer-service skills, with a hospitality-focused approach.
• Strong organizational skills, reliable file management, and attention to detail.
• Ability to follow detailed shot lists, brand guidelines, and structured delivery workflows.
• Reliable transportation and consistent access to high-speed internet for file transfers.
• Availability for multi-day weekday shoots and associated travel, primarily within Ontario and Quebec, with possible assignments in other provinces. Preferred Qualifications
• Experience photographing hotels, whether branded or independent.
• Experience photographing Airbnb properties or other short-term rentals.
• Familiarity with hotel brand photography standards. Required Equipment
• Full-frame DSLR or mirrorless camera, minimum 30 megapixels.
• Wide-angle and standard zoom lenses, such as a 16-35mm and 24-70mm.
