Room photos are the hotel’s shop window, and most windows are foggy. Six mistakes repeat across Prague’s listings — each fixable in one properly briefed shoot.
The six
1. The wide-angle lie: lenses that double the room earn arrival disappointment — and disappointment writes reviews. 2. Dead light: overhead-lit rooms photograph like interrogations; window light plus warm lamps photograph like stays. 3. The missing bathroom: guests assume the unshown bathroom is bad — because when it’s good, hotels show it. 4. No window view: “what do I see in the morning” is a booking question; answer it even when modest — mystery reads worse. 5. Sterile staging: a room with no trace of life (a book, a tray, an open curtain) sells storage, not stays. 6. Season mismatch: summer terraces sold to December bookers — rotate the set.
The fix is one brief: honest lenses, layered light, every space, every season. It’s how we shoot hotels — often paired with a 360° tour so honesty becomes the selling point. Ask for the room-set audit; we’ll tell you which of the six you’re paying for.
