A five-day hotel photography shoot at Hilton La Romana — a five-star all-inclusive resort set on the Caribbean coast of the Dominican Republic, in the exclusive La Romana area.
Shot on behalf of Cala Creatives, the brief was to produce a comprehensive library of social media-led marketing content showcasing the full breadth of the resort’s amenities — including restaurants, bars, entertainment, pools, and the hotel’s stunning beachfront. The resulting imagery was designed to perform across Hilton’s social media platforms, digital marketing campaigns, and third-party booking channels.
A five-day shoot of this scale required careful planning and collaboration with the resort’s marketing and operations teams — balancing the need for polished, aspirational content with the reality of a fully operational luxury resort environment.
Photography by David McConaghy, shot on behalf of Cala Creatives.
“We’ve been working with David since 2019 when he was first recommended to us, and he’s become one of our preferred & go-to photographers ever since. As director of Cala Creatives, a London-based photo and video agency, I need people I enjoy working with & trust, and with David, I never have to worry. He’s personal, funny, and professional, and whether I’m on set with him or sending him out solo, I know the job is in safe hands. His images are consistently beautiful, balanced, well-composed, and tailored to the brief. He’s shot lifestyle, product, and architectural photography for us, always adapting to different brands with ease. David gets the job done without fuss, properly. I’ve really enjoyed working with him and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great photographer and a great person to work with.”Ian Harper, Director — Cala Creatives
