Hilton<\/a> presented us with a challenge \u2013 as one of four required brand photography vendors for the new brand Tru by Hilton, Travel Industry Photos worked with the brand marketing team to translate the unique points of their cutting-edge property into a visual story.  The product itself would be revolutionary, and the photography that showcased it would have to reflect the style and substance of this revolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four years after the first property was opened in McDonough, GA in 2017 (photographed by our company), Tru by Hilton is now approaching 180 properties across North America, with vigorous expansion on the horizon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From a visual standpoint, creating imagery for these properties is equal parts challenge and delight.  In the words of the brand marketing team at Hilton, Tru \u201crepresents a complete rethinking of hotel design, curated to spark creativity and connection.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PHOTOGRAPHING COMMON AREAS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conveying the impact of these spaces through photography can pose quite a challenge.  Tru offers guests a unique experience, and an equally unique layout to go along with that experience.  There is no traditional lobby space, instead, this area is an expanse of games, soft seating, food and beverage offerings, workspace, breakfast and dining areas, and a welcoming front desk area.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
