SIMON BURT LANDS JOB IN USA
Truro –based photographer Simon Burt was recently commissioned to photograph the interior of Vanderbilt Hall Hotel in Newport, Rhode Island, USA, a luxury Mansion Hotel & Private Members Club which is run by property tycoon Peter de Savary.
The work across the Atlantic came to Simon through his connections with Falmouth design agency Venn Creative who are responsible for www.simonburtphotography.co.uk and who look after the Vanderbilt Hall brand.
Venn asked Simon to quote for the job of photographing the interiors of the hotel, which will be used for the new brochure, website and other branding collateral. Out of the 6 tenders, submitted from England and USA, Simon was successful.
“It just shows how connections with businesses in Cornwall can work well internationally. A local photographer and design agency commissioned to work for a hotel that’s over 3000 miles away! There’s a lot of talent here and we should be proud and working together can be beneficial to everyone”.
Simon and his partner Anna who assists him, flew to Boston at the end of February to begin four days of intense photography at the luxury Mansion Hotel & Private Members Club, where the brief was to focus on many of the living areas and to highlight the opulent glory of the interiors, such as the antique furniture in the sitting rooms, the gold leaf on the walls of the dining room and one of America’s most impressive private collections of American illustrative art throughout the hotel.
“I have seen the brochure and photos – thanks for doing an outstanding job. You work was much appreciated here!” Gene-Michael Addis, Managing Director.
The hotel opened again on the 1st April and Simon’s work can now be seen at www.vanderbilthall.com
