About Us

Welcome to Hotelphotography.com

Doug Castanedo is a successful hotel photographer who bases his work on three basic principles:

* Creative visual solutions using digital photography, computer technology and printing expertise to achieve optimal quality.

* Experience that comes from being “the traveler”, and a vision that is not always the obvious. Two decades of capturing the essence of hotels, resorts and cruise lines.

* Dedication to his work by carefully organizing and planning the result.

Whatever the process, the results have seemed to capture the attention of some of the world’s leading hotel chains, and the ad agencies that serve them. They have been quick to recognize that hiring Doug for a location shoot is to insure its success.

Perhaps that success is guaranteed by Doug’s background as a graphic designer and creative director or his experience in printing pre-press. Or maybe it’s as simple as his natural ability to work with people at all levels. Whatever the reason, the result is that Doug Castanedo brings to life advertising and marketing concepts on a different visual scale.

International in perspective, local in practice, Doug’s production experience includes extensive hotel, resort and cruise line destinations throughout the United States and in locations as diverse as Vietnam, Indonesia, Asia, Europe, Russia, the Netherlands the Caribbean and many more.

Typical clients include hotel and resort developers and operators, cruise lines, ad agencies, management companies, architects, media networks and tourism bureaus.

Doug is an active member of ASMP and has been presented the “Golden Ink Award” as well as numerous “Gold”, “Silver” and “Best Of Show” Addy Awards.
