Hilton Garden Inn Vilnius City Centre trains its team to become ‘WAITOGRAPHERS’ in order to capture the perfect photo

The initiative has seen the highly acclaimed photographer Roger Moukarzel, recently train over 500 Hilton team members across the world, taking them from amateur to semi-professional photographers! After completion, participating team members received a certificate and a badge, so that hotel guests can easily identify Waitographer’s whilst at the property and can ask for their expert hand to take a photo and ensure special memories are captured perfectly.

General Manager, Tadas Evaltas, said: “We have all felt that disappointment of seeing what could have been an amazing picture ruined by bad photography skills, so we’re pleased to provide the answer! Whether you are visiting our hotel for a stay or just a meal, we want the great memories to last beyond just that moment and stay with our guests forever, and we know a great photo can create that lasting memory. We are delighted to have trained ‘Waitographers’ working at our hotel so that guests can rest assured that their memories will be perfectly captured!”?

Photographer, Roger Moukarzel,?shares some of his top tips that he used to train Hilton team members to capture picture perfect photos:

1. Get closer instead of zooming in: Avoid blurry or pixelated images by stepping away from the zoom button and stepping towards the people you’re taking a picture of
2. Catch the right expressions: ?It is your job to capture the perfect moment – chat with the people you’re photographing, make them smile or laugh?
3. Clean the lens:?Even the tiniest spec of dirt can impact the quality of the final picture. Use a soft fabric or cloth, rough fabrics will impact the picture quality?
4. Shoot in Burst Mode: If you don’t want to miss a moment, why not take multiple shots at once? Simply touch and hold the shutter button down, to stop, just release – it’s a great way to ensure there is at least one picture everyone loves?
