Food photo shoot for H10 Croma hotel

H10 Croma hotel is located in a privileged area right in the centre of Malaga and with access to the main points of interest in the city. It is a newly built hotel that opened its doors in August 2022, the architectural project is the work of the renowned architect Rafael Moneo.

Photoshooting

For this post we have selected the gastronomy photographs that we took during the complete report for this new hotel, H10 Croma, in Malaga. The shots belong to different gastronomic proposals offered by the hotel’s restaurant. These are images of gastronomy.

Photographic Technique

In the gastronomy photographs shown in this post, the choice of lighting and the composition of the dish play an essential role.
The aim of this type of images is to capture the “flavour”, the colour, the shape and the texture of the food. In addition, this type of photography requires careful editing to achieve a good final result.

Photo editing

The entire photoshooting was done with Hasselblad medium format cameras and equipment. The photographs were shot and checked on site, but the editing was done at our base.
We put special emphasis on this aspect of photo editing because it allows us to provide a balanced and coherent atmosphere from a lighting point of view.

Photographs of the restaurant of H10 Porto Poniente hotel that we did for this new establishment of H10 Hotels located in Benidorm.

Photographs of the restaurant of H10 Porto Poniente hotel

H10 Porto Poniente hotel is located on the seafront next to Poniente beach in Benidorm. H10 Porto Poniente is a newly built four-star superior hotel. Its maritime-inspired interior design stands out, which is reflected in the different details of its decoration, its elegant rooms and its two plunge pools with stunning sea views. The establishment also features the Tortuga Restaurant, the Marea Alta Rooftop Bar with sea views, and a Despacio Spa Centre with heated swimming pool and gym.

Photoshooting

As this is a newly built hotel, we worked on an extensive photographic report to show, as faithfully as possible, the facilities of the hotel H10 Porto Poniente.
This week we have made a new selection of photographs including different shots of their restaurant Tortuga and a gastronomy image for the hotel’s image bank.

Photographic technique

The photographs shown in this post belong to interior facilities of H10 Porto Poniente hotel. In this type of photography we always try to work with natural and ambient light.
We take photographs with almost no supporting light to ensure that the images reflect a great naturalness. The aim is that each of our photographs shows, as faithfully as possible, all the details of this newly built hotel.

Photographic edition

All photo shooting was done with Hasselblad medium format cameras and equipment. The photographs were shot and checked in situ, but the edition work was carried out at our head office.
One of the most difficult aspects to control in indoor photography based on ambient light is the control of the interior and exterior temperature. We place special emphasis on this aspect of photographic editing because it allows us to offer a balanced and coherent atmosphere from lighting point of view.

We hope you liked the interior photographs of the H10 Porto Poniente hotel that we show you here today. If you want to see these and other photographs of this hotel you can visit their website here.

Food photographs we show in this post belong to the extensive photoshooting that we made at the end of last year for the 4-star superior hotel, H10 Imperial Tarraco. The hotel is located in Tarragona.

Food photographs for H10 Imperial Tarraco hotel

After an extensive refurbishment, H10 Imperial Tarraco, a superior 4-star hotel, opened its doors to the public with the aim of turning the establishment into a landmark hotel in the city. The hotel has a privileged location, with impressive views of the sea, in a first-rate heritage environment next to the historic center of Tarragona.

Photoshooting

The photographs taken are part of our food photography service. During the photoshooting, we selected a small sample of the wide gastronomic offer that “Alta Mare” restaurant at the H10 Imperial Tarraco offers its clients. In this post to whet your appetite we show some photographs of firsts, main dishes and a dessert.

Photographic technique

Food photography is one of our passions. Through this type of images we try to capture the “flavour”, colour, shape and texture of food. In gastronomy photographs, the choice of lighting and the composition of the dish play an essential role.

During this photographic session, the images were taken in the hotel’s facilities, making a preliminary selection of some of the dishes and looking for a reserved area that we adapted to act as a photographic studio.

Photograpic Edition

All photoshooting was done with Hasselblad medium format cameras and equipment. The photographs were shot and checked during the development of the photosoohting. These types of photographs require careful subsequent editing to get a good final resoult. For this reason, we develop this editing work in a second phase, in our head offices.

Photographs of the photoshooting for H10 Andalucía Plaza

Food photography, Hotel Photography

This week we share some of the photographs from the photoshooting for H10 Andalucía Plaza, located in Puerto Banús, Marbella.

H10 Andalucia Plaza swimming pool

H10 Costa Adeje Palace

Located in Puerto Banús, in one of the most exclusive areas of Marbella. H10 Andalucía Plaza is an emblematic hotel, completely renovated and that continues to maintain its Andalusian architectural style.

Recommended for adults, it has bright and spacious rooms, eight convention rooms, a Spa Centre and, in addition, it offers an exceptional cuisine.

Photoshooting

In this post we show photographs of the last photoshooting we took for this hotel in February of this year, combined with some images we had from previous photoshootings.

The photographs we show you below are from the pool area, one of the rooms, convention rooms with different setups and some photographs of the careful gastronomy offered by H10 Andalucía Plaza. This selection of images is part of our photography service for hotels with which we try to provide high quality photographs that last over time so that the client can use it in their different promotional materials.

Photographic Technique

In interior photographs, rooms and convention rooms, we work with the ambient lighting of each room. We try to ensure that each of the photograph reflects the environment that the client will find and do so in the most natural way possible.

In outdoor photographs, natural light, the composition of each scene and the favorable weather conditions were essential elements to get the photographs that we show in this post.

Finally, in food photographs we use a dark background and we take maximum care of the lighting to highlight the different textures and colours of the photographed dishes.

Photograpic Edition

All photo shooting was done with Hasselblad medium format cameras and equipment. The photographs were shot and checked during the development of the photoshooting. The editing work was developed in a second phase, in our base center.

In interior photography, based on ambient light, one of the most difficult aspects to control is the interior and exterior temperature, as well as the different light temperatures offered by artificial lighting points (incandescent bulbs, LEDs, etc.). Also, food photographs require careful editing. For this reason, we work especially on photographic editing as it allows us to achieve an optimal final result.

Hope you have found the sample of photographs that we share here interesting. To see other photoshootings we have done for this hotel chain, you can go the link: H10 Hotels. In addition, on our home page, you will find a wide selection of interior , exteriors and food photographs.
