I create films and photos that show what it really feels like to stay at your hotel or destination, using cinematic storytelling and real-life scenes, not just room shots.

About

i’m always chasing light, camera in hand - people know me as jetlag for a reason. my thing is telling real stories for hotels, resorts, and destinations, not just snapping pretty rooms but showing what it actually feels like to be there.

how i work

i treat each project like a short film. i want cinematic travel videography and images that show the mood, not just the space. i use whatever brings the story to life - working with agencies, models, influencers, anyone who adds something real to the vibe.

what you get

  • cinematic films showing off your spot and what it’s like to stay there
  • luxury hotel photography of interiors, exteriors, every design detail that makes your place stand out
  • lifestyle destination imagery, like guests chilling by the pool, eating, exploring new places
  • scenes from around the location - city streets, beaches, aerials, underwater (i freedive, so if your resort has cool aquatic stuff, i’m game)

gear + process

sony alpha, leica q, dji mavic 3 for drone shots, leica in sub13 for underwater. everything goes through adobe lightroom and final cut pro so it looks polished but not fake.

where i’ve been

i’ve shot for brands like four seasons, aman, sofitel, the plaza hotel. jobs have taken me from nyc to st tropez, aruba to tokyo. i’m all about making the place look and feel as good as it really is.

My Story

Hey, I’m David, but Jetlag works too. I’m in NYC—well, when I’m not hopping between gigs in Hamburg or Santa Fe. My partner and I just did a minimoon in Tokyo. If I’m not shooting for work, I’m probably freediving somewhere, chasing that underwater quiet. Love how light bends down there, and yeah, I ski when I can. My life’s all over my socials—travel, my partner, our cat (he travels, too). Caffeine? Never not caffeinated.

My Work

What I shoot - Commercial photography, moody brand short films, hotel and hospitality content, plus fine art prints. I go cinematic.

My vibe - Filmmaker at heart, I tell stories—less product, more mood. Classic cinema, but make it modern.

Who I’ve worked with - Four Seasons, Plaza Hotel, Sofitel, Victorinox, Banana Republic. Visual storytelling for luxury hospitality.

How I work - Obsessed with gear—Sony, Leica, sometimes even iPhone. It’s all about the right tool for the story.
