Who we are
We're Lili and Leo. Two creatives, one shared standard.
Lili brings nine years as an editorial photographer, and nine years as a commercial hand model for brands including Bvlgari, M&S, and Starbucks. Two different sides of the same standard, one behind the camera, one in front of it, and both taught her exactly what a shoot needs to look right the first time. That's what she brings to every hotel corridor, restaurant table, and travel moment we shoot together.
Leo spent his career in the trades before picking up a camera two years ago. That background shows up in how he works. Nothing gets missed, every shoot is planned and run with the precision of a job that has to be right the first time. He handles logistics, short-form video, and creative direction.
Why we shoot the way we do.
We experience your property as a couple first. We notice what makes someone want to stay longer, order another round, come back. That instinct, built from years of travelling and dining together, is what separates content that looks nice from content that actually converts.
We're not photographers who occasionally shoot hospitality. We're the guests you're trying to attract, with the editorial standard to prove it.
Why hospitality and travel?
Because we've lived inside it, not just visited it.
Before COTM, Lili spent four years working on cruise liners, travelling and working across hospitality operations around the world. That's not a guest's-eye view, it's seen how the best properties actually run, what makes a stay feel considered rather than generic.
We keep it that way. We travel as often as we can, deliberately, to see what the best in hospitality are doing well, and what they're getting wrong. Every stay is research as much as it is a holiday.
We're not photographers who occasionally shoot hospitality. We're the guests you're trying to attract, with the editorial standard to prove it.
Based in West Sussex. Shooting across the UK and Europe.
We work with boutique hotels, independent restaurants, and travel brands who take their visual identity seriously. If that's you, we'd love to hear about your project.
