I was commissioned to produce art for a new hotel. It took me 9 months to create the photos and finally they have been produced in 28x40", framed in walnut, behind glass.
110 of those pictures will be hanging in the new hotel in Frankfurt. As those images will hang inside the rooms, you will never happen to see all of my work. This is the downside for me. But at least, I know the work exists.
It was the first time, I was ever commissioned to do such a big project. I spent a lot of time on concept and creation of the photographs. They are different from what I usually shoot, but some include nudity, too. Others include toilets and flowers and funny stuff like that.
I will try to get an appointment in the hotel to quickly walk through the rooms to take some snaps (if there are no guests).
This is the pile of frames when they arrived:
- nudes?dopepope
- Always wondered what it took to get that Hotel gig. Was it a long drawn out process? or they came to you and let you do what you wanted?dopepope
- They asked me about a concept. I presented it. We made a deal: I get 9 months time and they only buy pictures they like. From 0 to 40. Risk was on my side.SimonFFM
- very cool. That's a great thing.dopepope
- I know a couple of people who've been approached to 'do' hotels, DP - in both instances it was the hotel/developer that made initial contact.Nairn
- depending upon the hotel, it seems like great exposure, and lucrative.dopepope
- Congrats Simon!!OBBTKN
- Other than in a museum, my name is not written with the artworks. I got paid for it, but money never is my motivation in life. Really true.SimonFFM
