NYLO Hotel-Warwick, Rhode Island

I've recently completed my second photography shoot for the new NYLO hotel located in the Warwick/Providence Rhode Island area. NYLO loft hotels are a new concept in the hospitality business, a hip and cool budget hotel. Each property is a newly constructed building in the style of a loft building conversion. Guest rooms and public spaces all feature hip design with exposed concrete walls and fixtures combined with unique custom furniture and many in room amenities. It is a great place for an event, party or meeting. If you are flying in or out of Rhode Island's T.F. Green Airport is it only minutes away and has direct shuttle service.

This view features the NYLO's spectacular "Terrace" located directly off it's "Loft" restaurant which overlooks the Pawtuxet river. To achieve this view it was necessary for me to photograph from a tall ladder on top of the bridge over the river. With assistance from the housekeeping department we were able bring all the window shades to an even level.

Scouting trip or walk-through

Often a scouting trip or walk-through of a property takes place prior to scheduling the actual photography day. Simple low resolution digital photographs are taken to help select views or as a reminder of problem areas that will need special attention. Sometimes due to circumstances beyond the control of the client, future access is limited. There is then a desire to utilize the scouting views, this should be avoided as they are typically low quality, quickly composed snapshots not often taken in the best light. On the rare occasion when there is no alternative and the view, lighting and use size are acceptable it is possible to make use of them. Keep in mind scouting shots were not part of the original use license quoted by the photographer, they were taken for discussion/reference purposes only. If you'd like to use one you will need to discuss with the photographer a fee to prepare the scouting view as a master file and an appropriate fee for your intended use. Don't forget that retouching may be needed to make the photograph usable.
This image was taken as a scouting shot with the anticipation of an additional shoot at the same location. That second shoot was never scheduled and the architect was in need of a rear exterior for an editorial article to go along with the front exterior and staircase interior photographs which were taken during the original assignment.
