Plan the shoot before the photographer arrives

Photos are often the first thing a guest judges on an OTA listing, Google profile or website. Yet many shoots happen in a rush: rooms half ready, the pool shot at noon glare, and no picture of the bathroom of the most expensive room. A shot list fixes that. It tells the photographer, and your housekeeping team, exactly which photos are needed, how to frame them and when the light is best.

Enter your room types, tick your facilities and set a target number of photos. The generator builds an ordered list from the outside in, with angle tips and timing, trims or extends it to your target by priority, and suggests the order to upload the first photos on OTAs.

How to get better hotel photos

• Prepare every room like a guest is arriving: fresh linen, no creases, curtains open, all lights on, cables hidden, personal items out of sight.
• Shoot from the corner at chest height: it shows the full room without the distorted look of a very low or very high camera.
• Keep verticals straight: tilted walls make rooms look smaller and cheaper.
• Use the right light: golden hour for the exterior, gardens and views; mid-morning soft daylight for rooms; blue hour for the facade with lights on.
• Bathrooms matter: guests check them closely. Shoot every category's bathroom, seat down, towels folded.
• Be honest: photos must show the actual room type being sold. Using a better room's photo for a cheaper category leads to complaints and poor reviews.

Order of photos on OTAs

Most OTAs let you choose the main photo and reorder the gallery. Start with a strong hero image (a signature view, pool or facade at golden hour), then your best room, its bathroom, then other room types, followed by dining, facilities and details. Tag every photo to the right room type so guests see the correct pictures when they select a room. Before uploading, run through the OTA photo checklist, and after updating the gallery check your listing quality with the OTA listing score checker.
