In Australia, most properties spend between $600 and $2,500, with full-day shoots at larger venues reaching $4,000+ once video is included.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does hotel photography cost in Australia?
Most hotels pay $600–$1,200 for a half-day shoot covering rooms and public spaces, or $1,200–$2,500 for a full day that adds dining, amenities and lifestyle talent. Video extends the budget further.
What should a hotel photo shoot include?
A complete set covers every room tier, the restaurant and bar, meeting and event spaces, leisure facilities and a twilight exterior — enough to refresh the website, OTA listings and social channels at once.
Who owns the photos from a hotel shoot?
Commercial shoots are licensed rather than sold outright. Confirm whether the quote includes perpetual, unlimited usage across your website and booking platforms, or an agency-term licence that expires.
