Lifestyle photography and video for boutique hotels, unique stays and restaurants.

Why Kayuma Collective

 

Concept first, then the camera.

Estelle brings over a decade in branding and content strategy. Before we shoot, we define what makes your place special, and plan every image around it.



What guests see is what they get.

Natural light, honest editing and the landscape around you. Guests arrive and recognise exactly what they booked.




 

Models included: we are the guests.

We step into your place ourselves: coffee on the terrace, a swim before breakfast, drinks at golden hour. Your place looks lived in, without models to book.


A chef's eye for food.

Joe has photographed hotels and restaurants for over 20 years and trained as a chef.

Breakfasts, dinners and drinks look as good as they taste.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Spaces and stays


We step into your place as your first guests: coffee on the terrace, a swim before breakfast, the light at golden hour. Real people, real moments, so future guests can already picture themselves there. And wherever your place is, we come to you.

"Great images don’t just show a place. They make guests feel the stay before they arrive."

Restaurants and Food Photography

 

Food is our second language, we love eating and cooking as much as making it look good. From the details on the plate to the atmosphere around the table, we shoot food that makes people hungry, ready to use for your socials, menu, website and delivery platforms.

 

 

 

Content for your socials

 

We create lifestyle photography for hotels, stays and restaurants, with people in the frame, so clients don't just see your space, they imagine themselves in it.

 

 

Aerial Photography

 

 

Nature is what keeps us grounded, and it runs through everything we create. We shoot with natural light, real colours and the landscape that surrounds your property; the sea, the mountains, the garden, the golden hour. Instead of isolating your space from its environment, we let the two tell one story: a colour palette drawn from the place itself, matched to your brand's identity. The result is imagery that feels calm, warm and true to where you are.

 

 

 

 

 

After the shoot

 

Your photos and videos are just the start. With a background in branding and content strategy, we can also help you put them to work.


Social media - we set up or refresh your profiles and create ready-to-post reels and posts from your shoot. Want it fully taken care of? We can also manage your socials for you on an ongoing basis

Your website - from placing the new imagery to a full website design or restyle

Your listings - we optimise the visuals on your pages: the right photos, in the right order, that show your place at its best

Guest materials - a beautifully designed guest guide or lookbook in your own style

A content plan - a simple calendar for what to post, where and when, so your content keeps working for months


You don't need to know anything about platforms, formats or design, that's our job. Tell us what you want to achieve, and we'll take care of the rest.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A couple behind this visual storytelling.

 

We're Joe & Estelle, a Dutch–Panamanian couple and the team behind Kayuma Collective. We live for travel, creativity and authentic experiences. We believe in nature, movement and real moments. That's the foundation of everything we create.


Joe has spent over 20 years behind the camera, photographing hotels like Pullman and Kempinski and travelling with Chef on Tour through Europe, Mexico, Central America and the Middle East. Estelle is the creative partner with a strategic eye. She shapes the concept before the shoot and stays on after it, with social media strategy, content and graphic design. She brings over 10 years of experience in branding and art direction for brands in different countries.


One of us holds the camera, the other keeps the whole picture in mind. And we're both in it, living the experience your place has to offer, so we can pass it on.


We work with boutique hotels, unique stays and restaurants across Spain and worldwide, and we speak English, Dutch and Spanish. We'd love to hear about your place, and we look forward to working together.
