Down to the last detail...

In celebration of our recently published article in BnBFinder's March newsletter, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the topic of vignette, or detail photography. Since Christian began primarily photographing bed and breakfasts more than four years ago, he has been awarded myriad opportunities to digitally immortalize some pretty fabulous properties throughout the country. If we've learned one thing in our travels, it's that no two B&Bs are alike. Indeed, some lavish their guests with luxury while others strive to be that much sought-after home-away-from-home. Whether high-end or low-key, all inns could benefit from incorporating detail photography into their visual marketing portfolios. While full-room shots have an important place in your portfolio, vignettes pack more emotional punch and convey the experience you wish to sell to your prospective clients. Every B&B that we've encountered--large, small, upscale or down-home--has something special to offer its guests. Now, get out there and photograph it!

And now, without further ado, some photos:

Vignettes with people add "life" to the photograph.
Packages offer some great vignette photo ops.
A detail of a picnic on your grounds illustrates that you offer fun specials AND boast a beautiful property!
