The Hospitality Industry is all about people and its people. It’s what makes the industry so special and makes the world one large happy family! We photograph the industry’s people all over the UK and sometimes in extraordinary places and within a small amount of time. All the photographers take strong portraits and our annual Top 20 Portraits celebrates this.
Portrait Photography within the Hospitality Industry is always full of surprises. People are incredibly interesting, even if there’s very little time to be spent with them to take their portrait. For a short while, you can enter their world. The subject usually has something to say and sometimes has a bearing on how the portrait is taken. What makes a great portrait is the million dollar question. It can work on subliminal levels. The Hospitality Industry has huge diversity and therefore, has an array of characters and personalities at all levels. It’s about ‘capturing’ the person but sometimes it’s about capturing the non-stereo-typical image of the person. People are amazing we always aim to capture a great portrait.
