RESORT,

August 2026
7th — 17th
Let’s make Manduna easier to picture, easier to trust, & easier to book.
Hey Eduardo,
Thanks again for being open to having a look at this.
I’ve put together a personalised proposal for how a five-night creative collaboration could work while we’re in Rote this August.
I wanted to make it less of a generic “photographer looking for accommodation” pitch and more of a proper look at how the content could actually help Manduna show the family, surf, and island experience in a more useful way.
No pressure at all, but if it feels aligned, I’d be stoked to chat through which dates could work best and what kind of content would be most useful for your team.
Thanks so much,
Levi
Manduna does not need more “nice place” photos
IT NEEDS MORE “I CAN SEE US THERE” PHOTOS.
Your current content shows the resort.
The next layer is showing the guest experience.
How the stay feels.
How the spaces work.
How a family interacts with it.
How the restaurant, pool, spa, rooms, beach, and island all connect.
Because people are not just comparing rooms.
And the resort that helps them picture the trip clearly, usually wins.
FAMILIES DON’T just bOOK a week at a NICE resort,
They book the trip they can picture them & their LOVED ONES having.
Make Manduna The Easiest Choice In A Sea Of Options
Manduna already has the ingredients of a really powerful resort story. This collaboration will bridge the gap between “this place looks nice” to “wow, I can really see us here”.
FOR FAMILIES, Rote CAN FEEL LIKE AN EFFORT TO GET TO, WE WANT Manduna TO make THE TRAVEL TIME FEEL worth it.
Remote travel comes with friction. Especially for families. The content needs to make the journey feel like it has a clear reward waiting at the end. Arrival. Bags down. Cold drink. First swim. Kids happy. Parents exhale. That is the story. Manduna becomes the soft landing after the travel, not another logistical unknown.
SELL THE LIFESTYLE AND FEELING OF THE RESORT, NOT JUST THE ROOMS OF THE RESORT.
The room gets attention. The lifestyle gets the booking. Surf in the morning. Pool after lunch. Spa in the afternoon. Dinner as the light drops. Kids cooked from the sun. Adults happy they chose well. Manduna has the ingredients for that story. The content just needs to connect the dots.
THIS COLLABORATION WIll HELP SHORTEN THAT DECISION LOOP BY SHOWING THE EXACT MOMENTS THEY ARE TRYING TO IMAGINE, before they book.
THE
CREATIVE
EXCHANGE
The goal would be to create a flexible, useful visual library that can support your website, direct bookings, social media, booking platforms, email marketing, and all future marketing efforts moving forward.
The
IDEA is
simple
you receive a highly thoughtful, professional image library that helps Manduna better communicate the feeling, atmosphere, and guest experience of staying with you.
Manduna hosts our family group for five nights during one of the proposed August windows. In exchange, Manduna receives a professionally created content library designed around the way future guests actually make booking decisions.
This would be approached with the same care as a commercial lifestyle and accommodation shoot, while keeping the process relaxed, natural, and easy to work around the rhythm of the stay.
It would be about capturing Manduna as a place families can genuinely imagine themselves interacting with, and creating lifelong memories in.
WITH THIS COLLAB, Manduna will receive
Images that make Manduna feel alive, not just nice
So future guests can picture breakfasts, slow mornings, shared space, kids on the floor, and family life unfolding inside the stay.
01.
Images that answer “does this make sense with kids?”
Showing space, ease, downtime, pool rhythm, naps, shade, and the small details that make family travel feel less like a gamble.
02.
Images that turn resort features into MOMENTS
Not just the pool, restaurant, rooms, and views, but what those spaces feel like when a family is actually experiencing them.
03.
Images that make A TRIP TO Rote easier to say yes to
Showing Manduna as the soft landing after the journey: bags down, first swim, ocean air, happy kids, and adults finally exhaling.
04.
Images that sell the feeling of Manduna
Surf mornings, pool afternoons, sandy feet, and the rhythm that makes Manduna feel like part of the memory, not just where you sleep.
05.
Images that MAKE PARENTS THINK “WE’RE GOING THERE”
The small human proof that makes a family stop comparing listings and start imagining themselves there.
06.
ONE stay, A library of marketing assets.
YOUR VISUAL
VIBE MAKER
Levi Caleb Allan
I work as a professional photographer across lifestyle, travel, weddings, outdoor brands, surf culture, accommodation, and experience-led storytelling.
My style is natural, warm, cinematic, editorial, and relaxed, with a focus on imagery that feels polished without becoming stiff or overly staged. I am especially drawn to places with atmosphere: spaces where the landscape, light, people, interiors, details, and surrounding lifestyle all work together.
Manduna feels like that kind of place.
It has surf, but it is not only surf.
It has comfort, but it does not feel disconnected from the island.
It has a premium feel, but still seems warm, personal, and human.
That is the kind of story I would love to capture.
Let’s create a body of work that sees Manduna book more family stays throughout 2026 / 2027.

why this is low risk for Manduna
This is a low-friction way to create content Manduna would otherwise need to plan, brief, stage, and shoot separately.
The family group is already travelling.
The stay provides the setting.
The moments are naturally built in.
The content can be used long after checkout.
No casting.
No forced lifestyle shoot.
No big production headache.
Just a real stay, captured with strategy.
The upside is that Manduna walks away with marketing assets that can support the resort across website, listings, social, email, ads, and future campaigns, in exchange for doing what you do best; hosting a family.
