One Photographer. Many Worlds.
My work as an architectural and hotel photographer Stuttgart takes me from luxury hotels in the icy silence of Inari, where –30°C paints the arctic landscape in blue light, to the golden heat of Dubai, where desert shadows shape modern architecture in 40°C. I move between alpine solitude and dense urban energy – always seeking the soul of a place through light, atmosphere, and perspective.
As a professional hotel photographer, I specialise in capturing the identity of both boutique retreats and international hotel brands. At the same time, my experience as an architectural photographer Stuttgart allows me to highlight the design, structure, and details that define each property. From small independent hotels to large-scale projects, I create visual stories that speak across cultures and climates – whether in remote mountain resorts or on the rooftops of global metropolises.
My images as a hotel photographer have been published in renowned magazines such as National Geographic Traveler, Falstaff Travel, and CUBE, and have been recognised with various awards for excellence in architecture and hospitality photography.
Wherever I go, my focus as an architectural and hotel photographer is not just to document a space, but to capture the feeling of being there – the atmosphere that makes a place unforgettable.

FAQ
How much do photos cost?
My pricing as an architectural and hotel photographer Stuttgart is based exclusively on the number and quality of the final images – not on time. You don’t pay for shooting days or retouching hours, only for the photographs you select. This creates full cost transparency and ensures that I can work with the precision and creativity needed to deliver the best possible results. Quality over quantity is my principle as a professional hotel photographer.
Together, we’ll define how many images you need, and I’ll create a package tailored to that number – available in either standard or high-end quality. Retouching (including high-end editing, if selected) and drone photography are already included in the price. After the shoot, you choose your favorites from a curated gallery. The pre-ordered number of images is included in the package, and any additional photos can be licensed individually. As an experienced architectural photographer Stuttgart, this approach ensures flexibility, transparency, and images that truly elevate your brand.
Why don't you charge a day rate?
This is the only way I can ensure that both I and my customers are happy with the results without having to watch the clock. It also creates cost transparency: the price per image remains the same, no matter how long it takes!
What are the costs for retouching?
Retouching is included in the booked package price. This means there are no additional hidden costs.
However there is a fee of €85 per image outside of the booked package; for high-end recordings a fee of €180 per image.
Are the travel costs already included?
No. Every booking is an exclusive booking. During this time I cannot carry out any further orders, which is why travel time must also be reimbursed. The usual rate is €0.60/km (except for long-distance international travel).
Can I postpone the booked date?
Yes of course. Due to unforeseen reasons such as bad weather conditions, postponements are free of charge with at least 72 hours’ notice.
Are there any cancellation fees?
In the event of cancellation:
- Within 2 weeks before the shoot: 30% of the project cost
- Within 72 hours before the shoot: 60% of the project cost
- Within 24 hours before the shoot: 90% of the project cost
How much does the additional use of drone cost?
There are no additional costs associated with the use of drones, unless special permission to take off must be granted.
Do you offer video services?
No, because I cannot offer the same standard of quality in my videos. Videography & photography are two completely different fields of work with different requirements. That’s why I work closely with videographers who can be booked on request.
How much does a professional model cost?
Since I only work with professionals, I only work with models in the upper price segment. These have a daily rate starting from €1000 per day of use (including purchase of usage rights)
Which usage rights are included?
Already included are the basic image usage rights for self-promotion with naming and linking of Matthias Dengler on your website and social media.
Additional usage rights must be acquired for other uses and for third-party self-promotion.
Why do I even have to purchase usage rights?
To protect my clients, who bear the entire cost and risk of photo production, each additional person must also pay a portion of these costs to contribute to the costs. You wouldn’t think it was okay if you paid e.g. €5,000 for photos and another company got the photos you paid for for free.
