Luxury Boutique Hotel Photography Case Study – The Capra, Switzerland
Case Study
I was commissioned to revitalize The Capra’s visual identity with a fresh photo library that captured the hotel’s architecture, elegance, strategic location, wellness offerings and year-round appeal.
The project mainly focused on showcasing its atmosphere and features during both summer and winter seasons.
A second focus was the mountain restaurant, the Spielboden by The Capra.
PROJECT COMPLETION : the project was completed over 2 sessions of 3 and 5 days during summer and winter.
THE KEY OBJECTIVES :
Exteriors that capture the hotel’s architecture and alpine backdrop.
Interiors showcasing the comfort and elegance of the rooms, suites, and common areas.
Spa and Yoga Shots that highlight both outdoor and indoor wellness spaces and treatments.
Drone Shots to offer a bird’s-eye perspective of the hotel and its strategic alpine location.
Destination images to capture Saas Fee’s majestic alpine landscapes surrounding the property.
Mountain restaurant Spielboden : to highlight its high-altitude location and showcase the unique ski offerings of the Capra’s owned restaurant.
Property Overview.

Just steps from ski lifts, it offers spacious suites, a world-class spa, and exquisite seasonal and local cuisine.
