About Our Photography Studio — Sivan Askayo Photography

Sivan Askayo Photography was founded on a simple yet powerful belief: that exceptional imagery has the power to transform how people perceive and connect with brands, places, and experiences. What began as a passion for capturing beautiful moments has evolved into a specialized photography studio serving the luxury hospitality industry worldwide.

With over a decade of experience in editorial and commercial photography, Sivan Askayo has become recognized among famous food photographers and luxury hotel photography specialists. Our work has been featured in leading hospitality publications, marketing campaigns for five-star properties, and editorial spreads that inspire millions of travelers annually.

The journey started with a camera and an insatiable curiosity about the world. Early projects photographing boutique hotels and local restaurants revealed a deep connection between visual storytelling and business success. Properties with compelling photography attracted more guests, restaurants with beautiful food images saw increased reservations, and brands with authentic lifestyle imagery built stronger emotional connections with their audiences.

This realization led to a focused specialization in hospitality photography. We invested in professional equipment, studied lighting techniques, developed relationships with leading hotels and restaurants, and honed our skills in composition, styling, and post-production. Each project became an opportunity to push creative boundaries while delivering measurable marketing results for our clients.

Expertise That Drives Results

Today, Sivan Askayo Photography serves a diverse clientele including luxury hoteliers, boutique hotel owners, hospitality marketing agencies, and real estate developers. Our comprehensive food photography services range from luxury hotel interiors and travel destinations to culinary artistry and lifestyle experiences.

What sets us apart is our deep understanding of hospitality marketing combined with exceptional technical and artistic skills. We don't just take beautiful photographs—we create strategic visual content that aligns with brand positioning, appeals to target audiences, and drives business objectives. Every image is crafted with consideration for how it will be used across websites, social media, print advertising, and editorial features.

Our approach is collaborative and detail-oriented. Before every shoot, we invest time in understanding your property, your brand values, your competitive landscape, and your marketing goals. We develop shot lists that ensure comprehensive coverage while leaving room for spontaneous creative moments that often produce the most compelling images.
