Travel & hospitality UGC

Short-form video for hotels, stays, and the things people pack.

I shoot vertical video that looks like a real guest made it — room reveals, property tours, food and venue, and honest product demos. You get files you own and can run as ads. No follower campaign, no waiting on my posting schedule.

Based in NYC and Dallas · shoot solo · US and international

Everything below is concept work — self-directed, shot on location at real places, made to the same brief a brand would send. Nothing here implies a client relationship. Paid client work will be named when it exists.

Stays & property

What a hotel, rental, or resort would run on its own feed and in paid social.

Food & venue

For restaurants, bars, and hotel F&B — the shots that make someone book a table.

Product & problem-solution

For travel gear and everyday products — the format that performs as a paid ad.

Destination and campaign work is scoped per project. Hosted stays, multi-day shoots, and tourism board campaigns don't fit a rate card — send me the destination, the dates, and what you need, and you'll have a quote within 24 hours.

How it works

Four steps, and you know the date you're getting files.

You send a brief

Product or property, the angle you want, where it's running, and any must-say points. A paragraph is enough — I'll ask if I need more.

We agree scope

Fixed quote in writing: deliverables, usage, turnaround. Half up front on projects over $500.

I shoot

Solo, on location, natural light. For stays, I shoot inside the first day so nothing depends on the weather holding.

You get files

Within seven days of the shoot, in every ratio you asked for, with two rounds of revisions built in.

Who this is for

If you're one of these, the work above is the work you'd get.

Stays

  • Boutique and independent hotels
  • Resorts and villas
  • Short-term rental hosts and managers

Places

  • Restaurants, bars, and hotel F&B
  • Tour and experience operators
  • Tourism boards and destination marketing

Products

  • Travel gear, luggage, and packing
  • Booking platforms and travel apps
  • Anything a traveller actually uses

Why me and not a generalist

I'm also a travel advisor with Fora, which means I book this category of property for real clients. I know what a guest is actually deciding between when they're comparing two rooms — and I shoot for that decision, not for a feed.

I've been to more than 30 countries, I write a travel site of my own, and I run a Pinterest funnel that sends people to it. So I'm not guessing at what makes someone save a place for later.

To be clear about the two hats: this page is content work, priced above. My advisor business is separate, and I don't bundle booking commission into a content quote.

The boring but important part

Answered here so you don't have to ask.

What usage do I get?
Organic use on your own channels and website for 12 months, included in the base rate. Paid ads are a separate licence — 90 days at +30%. Perpetual buyout is available; ask and I'll quote it.
Do you post it yourself?
Only if you want me to, and that's priced separately. The default is that I hand you files and you run them. Anything I post as a paid or hosted partnership is disclosed per the FTC endorsement guides.
How many revisions?
Two rounds included. Extra rounds are $75 each. Send each round as one batch — it moves much faster.
Exclusivity?
Not included by default. Category exclusivity is +30% for 90 days.
Do I get the raw footage?
Not by default — edited deliverables only. Raw is +$100 if you want to cut your own versions.
Who pays for travel?
Locally, nobody — no travel fee in the NYC or Dallas areas. Outside that, either the stay and transport are covered or we agree a day rate. For hosted stays, the stay is the sample, not the fee.
How fast?
Seven days from the shoot. 48-hour rush is +30% when I have the slot.

Send me a brief

Tell me the product or the property, roughly when, and where it's going to run. I'll tell you straight whether I'm the right person, and what it would cost.

I reply within a day, usually the same day.
