Resort brand video
For this project, the goal was to showcase the resort’s unique atmosphere while keeping the use of models minimal. The video focuses on cinematic drone and ground shots that showcase the property and surrounding landscape. The combination of aerial shots, immersive property visuals, and detailed close-ups of food, drinks, and amenities helps highlight the resort experience, while wildlife filmed in its natural habitat emphasizes the connection between luxury, jungle, and beach. The result is a visually rich resort video that conveys the feeling of a private tropical escape and the authentic beauty of a luxury jungle and beach destination.
Different versions where made, some with and without logos and some shorter.

Social media content
A vision for social media
The ideas was to developed a three-step reel strategy to guide viewers through a complete visual journey. It begins with a short teaser made from four key frames of the main video, designed to spark curiosity and build anticipation. The second reel is the core piece: a 1-minute version of the original video, adapted to a vertical format for Instagram. It delivers the full story in a way that’s engaging and optimized for mobile viewing. Finally, a third version removes the music, leaving only the natural ambient sounds of the resort. This creates a more immersive experience, allowing viewers to feel as if they are truly there.
1 . Teaser Reel - build antecipation
2 . Main Reel - core content launch
3. Extra reel - Immersive experience
Drone Photography
Aerial drone photography offers a unique perspective that showcases the full scale, setting, and surroundings of a resort in a way ground-level images cannot. By highlighting location, landscape, and proximity to key features, it helps potential guests better understand the destination and strengthens the property’s appeal when choosing where to stay.
Accommodation Photography
Professional photography of a hotel’s accommodations, using the right equipment and techniques, ensures visually striking and accurate representations of each space. This not only enhances the guest’s first impression but also helps the property stand out against competitors, increasing trust and ultimately supporting higher booking conversion rates.
Resort Photography
Resort photography captures the essence of a property by showcasing its grounds, amenities, and overall atmosphere—from beaches and pools to scenic views and architectural details. Through carefully composed, aesthetically pleasing images, it highlights the experience guests can expect, helping the resort stand out and attract the right audience.
Restaurant Photography
Restaurant photography highlights the variety and character of a resort’s dining experiences by capturing different settings, dishes, drinks, and staff in action. By showcasing a mix of local and international cuisine through inviting, well-composed images, it helps convey quality, atmosphere, and diversity, even to the most demanding guests.

Social media content
A vision for social media
The ideas was to developed a three-step reel strategy to guide viewers through a complete visual journey. It begins with a short teaser made from four key frames of the main video, designed to spark curiosity and build anticipation. The second reel is the core piece: a 1-minute version of the original video, adapted to a vertical format for Instagram. It delivers the full story in a way that’s engaging and optimized for mobile viewing. Finally, a third version removes the music, leaving only the natural ambient sounds of the resort. This creates a more immersive experience, allowing viewers to feel as if they are truly there.
1 . Teaser Reel - build antecipation
2 . Main Reel - core content launch
3. Extra reel - Immersive experience
Drone Photography
Aerial drone photography offers a unique perspective that showcases the full scale, setting, and surroundings of a resort in a way ground-level images cannot. By highlighting location, landscape, and proximity to key features, it helps potential guests better understand the destination and strengthens the property’s appeal when choosing where to stay.
Accommodation Photography
Professional photography of a hotel’s accommodations, using the right equipment and techniques, ensures visually striking and accurate representations of each space. This not only enhances the guest’s first impression but also helps the property stand out against competitors, increasing trust and ultimately supporting higher booking conversion rates.
Resort Photography
Resort photography captures the essence of a property by showcasing its grounds, amenities, and overall atmosphere—from beaches and pools to scenic views and architectural details. Through carefully composed, aesthetically pleasing images, it highlights the experience guests can expect, helping the resort stand out and attract the right audience.
Restaurant Photography
Restaurant photography highlights the variety and character of a resort’s dining experiences by capturing different settings, dishes, drinks, and staff in action. By showcasing a mix of local and international cuisine through inviting, well-composed images, it helps convey quality, atmosphere, and diversity, even to the most demanding guests.

We met Duarte in 2024 to produce some of our corporate videos, and we had a great experience working with him. He approached the project with great professionalism and was able to capture and convey the essence of the Australis experience - from the remoteness and awe-inspiring scale of the landscapes to the immersive atmosphere on board - in a very authentic and compelling way.
