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 DescriptionWe’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. Actual assignments depend on project demand, availability, fit, and how work is distributed across the team.
