Brief
Hilton global production across multiple Waldorf Astoria properties.
Max was brought in as still photographer alongside a motion team, via Gramafilm UK partnered with Tongal.
Projects were shot tethered for live viewing at Hilton HQ, allowing the client to oversee and give feedback in real time.
Style choice was heavy focus on wides: showcasing the properties and spaces as the subject, incorporating a human element to place the viewer into their own experience, interspersed with mediums.
Stills were captured with the Nikon Z9, Nikkor S line zooms ranging from 14-200mm, allowing for 45MP files for usage across all digital destinations.
Post-production was offloaded to global team, however the gallery below was personally edited by Max.

With the Kuwait property inside a shopping mall, we had the unique opportunity to frame the grand entrance from both sides, including the scale of the atrium in which the mall entrance is located.
