About Victoria - Hotel Photographer UK
Victoria Gibbs is a specialist hotel photographer trusted by hotels, hospitality brands and interior designers to create commercial imagery that connects with guests.
For over two decades, interiors and hospitality spaces, combining technical expertise with an understanding of how guests experience and connect with a property.
I have photographed hotels for international brands, luxury resorts, boutique hotels and independent hospitality businesses, including more than 200 Holiday Inn and other IHG properties.
Photography That Understands Hotels
My background combines two worlds; photography and hospitality. Having worked within the hospitality industry, I understand that a hotel does not stop operating because a photographer arrives. Guests are checking in, restaurants are serving, events are taking place and teams are continuining to deliver the experience your guests expect.
This understanding allows me to work naturally within a live hotel environment - planning around operations, knowing when spaces are at their best and recognising that sometimes the perfect image is created before the first guest arrives, during quieter moments, or in between the evryday activity of the hotel.
Whether photographing a breakfast space before service begins, capturing the atmosphere of a lobby, or finding the right opportnity to showcase a restaurant, bar or event space, I understand the importance of working sensitively around guests and staff.
The Person Behind The Camera
I have been fascinated by photography for as long as I can remember.
When I was eight years old, I announced that I was going to become a photographer. My uncle pointed out that, because I was Asthmatic, becoming a pilot might not be the easiest career choice. My response was simple: I wasn't planning to fly planes, I was going to photograph them.
The moment I truly fell in love with photography came a few years later in the school darkroom. Watching an image slowly appear from a blank sheet of paper in the developer felt like magic. Decades later, the same fascination with creating images that tell a story is still what drives me.
Photography Created for Real-world Use
My photographs are used across websites, marketing campaigns, social media, brochures and industry publications. They have also helped clients showcase their work in award programmes, including Carehome Interiors, whose projects have gone on to win multiple Pinders Healthcare Design Awards.
Whether photographing a newly opened hotel, a refurbishment, a design project or updating an existing image library, I bring together photography, hospitality experience and an understanding of what your images need to achieve.
