Apollo Best Western is a popular hotel and accommodation venue in Charlestown, New South Wales, catering to both business and leisure travellers. Known for its comfortable rooms and convenient location, the hotel wanted to strengthen its visual presence online to attract more guests.
The hotel sits along a busy main road, a fact that sometimes overshadowed the property’s charm in photos. They needed a way to show potential guests the quality of their rooms, amenities, and surroundings without the road becoming the focal point or deterring guests.
Using a DJI Mini 3, we created a tailored aerial and ground based content plan.
This included:
The entire shoot was completed in one day, with edited deliverables provided within a rapid turnaround time.
