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.

The interplay of space and subject was a different challenge to usual hospitality production.
Utilising a deep depth of field for the wides to incorporate the environment meant strategic talent blocking, careful attention to detail and scene control.
