Spaces

Hotel & Restaurant Interior Photography

Tom's spaces photography is rooted in the same sensibility as his food and hospitality work: the environment is as much the story as anything in it. Whether it's a grand library with six floors of books, a Paris wine bar tucked into a side street, or a hotel room framing a perfect sunset over the Pacific, his interior photography is about the mood that makes a space worth the trip. Hotels, resorts, and hospitality brands use it to show what being there feels like.

Tom's interiors work has run in Wallpaper*, Dezeen, Elle Decor, Surface, and Interior Design, most recently for Rockwell Group's Skywalker Grill at the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art. See the full list on the press page.

Commercial Interior & Architectural Photography

Tom photographs small shops and huge cultural spaces alike, and he shoots each one with the people who'll use it in mind. His commercial interior photography spans hotel lobbies, restaurant dining rooms, resort pools, museums, and the one-off architectural details people travel to see. The work holds up in print, on a website, and on social, and design outlets keep running it. For how an interiors shoot comes together, who it's for, what a day covers, and how to book, see the architecture and interiors photographer page.

Property Launches & Renovations

A hotel or restaurant opening has one window to make its first impression, and a renovation needs the same treatment once the work is done. Tom shoots interiors around a property's timeline, whether that's a pre-opening architectural pass for press and launch marketing or a lifestyle shoot once the space is in use, and re-shoots specific renovated areas against a property's existing shot list so a refresh doesn't mean starting the whole library over.

Multi-Property Interior Libraries

Hotel groups and restaurant portfolios operating across several properties need their interiors to read as one brand, not a collection of separately shot locations. Tom builds a single interior asset library across a portfolio, applying the same framing, lighting approach, and finishing to every property so marketing and PR teams have one consistent library to pull from, whether the request is for one location or the whole group. See how this plays out across multi-location hospitality photography more broadly.

Common Questions

When should a property shoot interiors: before opening or after?

Both, depending on the goal. A pre-opening shoot supports press and launch marketing before the first guest arrives, while a shoot once the space is lived in captures the atmosphere and small details a staged, empty room can't show. Tom often plans a two-part shoot around a launch: architectural and design-forward images before opening, then a lifestyle pass once the space is in use.

Can one shoot cover a whole hotel or restaurant portfolio?

Yes. For groups with several properties, Tom builds a single asset library across every location with a consistent shot list, framing, and finishing, so the portfolio reads as one brand instead of a set of unrelated local shoots. New properties added later are matched against the same spec.

Does a renovation or refresh need an entirely new shoot?

Usually just the affected areas. Tom re-shoots the specific rooms, dining spaces, or public areas that changed against the original shot list, keeping the rest of the property's library current without redoing work that already matches the brand.
