Whether it’s a private island in the Maldives, a hotel in China, or a hideout in her home country, chances are high that Lauryn has already been there.

Led by Alexander Manton, MotionPicturesAsia is a production company specializing in both still and motion projects. Their strength in managing these hybrid shoots is a time and money saver for clients, who end up walking away with a larger-than-expected content library. In fact, numerous brands have entrusted them with campaigns that stretch geographically over long periods of time, with one such project taking them all over China to photograph a chain of luxury hotels. Shoots that may be logistically challenging to many have become a cakewalk to them.
With over 25 years of operating, Alexander Manton and his team have explored numerous facets of hospitality photography in Singapore and beyond. They’ve worked in nearly every country in Asia, vouched for by brands such as Tripadvisor, Ecolab, and Aman Resorts.

Previously from the corporate world, Carlina Teteris has exceeded all expectations as a self-taught photographer, delivering stellar results for clients while also collaborating with Nikon Singapore on workshops for emerging photographers.
Over the past 10 years, Carlina, the founder and lead photographer of Silk and Salt Images, has been managing photoshoots across the hospitality, lifestyle, and architecture specialties. As she’d put it, her team loves working with brands that require warm, authentic, and experiential imagery, exploring the many facets that form a destination’s identity.

Hospitality photography in Singapore, or any location for that matter, comprises several components, including food, people, and architecture. For someone who shoots all three with a passion, look no further than Rory Daniel. Rory’s a photographer who’s very brand-centric and focused on the marketing of products and services, making him ideal for numerous commercial campaigns.
He has a Bachelor’s degree in Business and a Master’s in photography, bestowing him with a unique understanding of the two-way relationship between client and photographer. It makes him an excellent listener, as he balances his pursuit of creativity while meeting the client’s requirements. Additionally, he powers through with an efficient work process on set, leaving no room for dissatisfaction of any kind.
Since our definition of hospitality photography is broad, we had to include a good mix of talent covering some or all aspects of the specialty. For exceptional ability within the architecture and interiors spaces of the category, Owen Raggett is a fine hospitality photographer in Singapore.
His compositions are pitch-perfect, leaving no doubts about his artistic ability or technical proficiency with the camera. While his images are usually devoid of people, he frames spaces with incredible detail and poise, encouraging our minds to fill the gaps in the stories and experiences that unfold at these venues. For example, two massage tables side by side in an orientally decorated room might foretell a couple’s R&R session. Or a room with a view of the cityscape in the distance could be a pretty sight for sore eyes or an implied break from the rat race of corporate life.
With nearly 20 years in the business, Owen has worked with luxury hotels, designers, architects, and international brands. A few of his clients include the Four Seasons, Marriott, Hilton, Langham, Gensler, AB Concept, Google, HSBC, and Spotify.
COCO Creative Studio is a production house founded by photographer Jose Jeuland, focused on commercial photography and videography. Since its founding, the studio has furnished content for clients across numerous industries, proving its versatility in various specialties.
Jose and his team understand the importance of hospitality photography, knowing that subpar promotional material for a hotel or resort could easily force travelers to look elsewhere. And in an age where information travels fast, a brand’s image could be damaged irrevocably. Thankfully, his team works to ensure this never happens, producing imagery with a focus on the aesthetics of the destination and the lifestyle that awaits patrons.
Their extensive client list includes brands such as JW Marriott, Shangri-La, Grand Hyatt, The Fullerton Hotel, Hotels.com, and Expedia.
For both commercial and editorial campaigns, these seven individuals will go the extra mile, representing the highest standards of hospitality photography in Singapore.
