This is the exact pitch email I've used to secure hotel collaborations around the world as a professional photographer.
From boutique hotels in Bali to luxury properties abroad, this framework has helped me start conversations, get replies, and secure both hosted stays and paid photography opportunities.
The truth is that most photographers never hear back because they make the same mistakes: they talk too much about themselves, they sound generic, or they fail to communicate the value they bring.
This template shows you how to position yourself professionally, communicate your value clearly, and approach hotels with confidence.
Simply customise it to fit your style, portfolio, and destination.
Whether you're looking to build your portfolio, travel more, or start working with hotels professionally, this email will give you a proven starting point!

P.S. PLEASE, use your own words and adapt the email to the resort you're approaching. It's important to show that you took the time to research their social media platforms and branding.

Don't know what to say when reaching out to brands
