At Luxpitality, we love nothing more than really well-done photography and videography. That’s why we spend a hell of a lot of time (like seriously, an embarrassing amount of time) browsing our favorite boutique hotels, luxury properties, and adventurous travelers to see what they’ve got.
Plus, we’re content creators ourselves, and we draw heavy amounts of inspiration from the posts they make. Instagram is the first place we usually hit up, and it’s led us to some people that are the embodiment of our own core cultural values: Creativity, Efficiency, and Honesty.
When we find something that’s unlike anything we’ve ever seen, we strike while the iron is hot and reach out to the luxury content creators behind the profile. Over time, we’ve partnered with some of the world’s best, like:
- Paul Dimalanta
- Luke Bredar
- Adrian Baias
- Florina Toma
- Nicola Bartolini
- Austin Radcliffe
- David Maman
Each one of them has a talent, drive, and creativity that’s unparalleled. We’re proud to share their work with you below, check it out.
Paul Dimalanta
A master among luxury content creators, Paul Dimalanta has spent years dedicated to exploring his personal views on luxury. What has he found out? For starters, craftsmanship, design, and heart are at the center of a brilliant luxury brand.
To him, this mentality is missing in the majority of today’s influencer marketing driven media: there’s not much calming energy or approachability to be found. But that’s where he finds opportunity to infuse his skill with each click of his camera, whether he’s shooting in motion:
Or some seriously slick stills:
You can feel his passion, and the fun he has, shine brightly in all his work:
Keep up with him on Instagram by following one of his three accounts (or all of them). See what Filipino-American dishes he’s cooking up @merciweho, join in on his MMA training @darksidewhitebelt, and stay up on all things luxury through his main account @pauldimalanta.
Luke Bredar
Luke Bredar is extremely passionate about the relationship between creativity and marketing. That drives him to imagine all the fresh, exciting, and flat out badass ways to capture different moments on camera.
He’s a born-and-raised Alaskan, and has been on the slopes his entire life. It comes as no surprise that he’s obsessed (in the best ways) about showcasing action sports, with a heavy emphasis on snowsports. Check out his amazing content from his main Instagram account @luka_bees:

But Luke also has a penchant for portraying lifestyle content and real estate as well:

Let’s also not ignore the fact that he’s a Part 107 certified drone pilot and flies his FPV drones all over the place:

One of his driving motivations is to showcase all his work through a lens of engaging, youthful, and relatable energy. And what’s more fun than filming his friend wiping out while trying to nail a trick?

Adrian Baias and Florina Toma
A true power couple of luxury content creators, Adrian Baias and Florina Toma have been working hard since 2018 to turn their lifetime love for travel and photography into their everyday life. They create original photo content with astounding skill that beautifully showcases some of the world’s best destinations and properties.
They both focus on luxury, five-star hotels and resorts across well-known brands and local, character-first boutique properties. However, each of the two specializes in their own specific style of photography.
Adrian captures the artistic side of the world, as viewed through magnificent landscapes and engaging architecture:

Together, they stand firm in their dedication to always create content you won’t find anywhere else: nothing is ever reposted or taken from other accounts. Follow their travels and prepare to be amazed at the quality of their work @florina__toma and @adrianbaias.
Nicola Bartolini
Nicola Bartolini, or Nico, is a full time content creator who’s all about storytelling. Through his photos and videos he transports the viewer into the destination he’s capturing and gives them an authentic taste for what the experience of actually being there with him is like.
One way he accomplishes this is on the main Instagram page he manages, @gopro.momentsofficial. It’s a dedicated community of individuals who shoot epic moments on the GoPro camera, but not in any way you’ve likely seen before:

Austin Radcliffe
In Los Angeles, it seems that freelance artist and photographer Austin Radcliffe spends half his time capturing amazing photographs and the other half winning awards and accolades. He’s got a strong background in advertising, imaging, and publishing, and he’s toured the globe creating editorial and commercial content for Art Basel, Panasonic, Coach, and Rizzoli books—to name a few. In addition to travel, Austin is creatively fueled by art, design, architecture, and old movies.
His @thingsorganizedneatly personal blog and Instagram account won a Webby Award, and we can see why. Just look at a few of the crisp, insanely satisfying images he’s got on the page:

More recently, we had him capture the dual nature of one of our local San Diego hotels, The Guild Hotel. It’s equal parts iconic heritage and modern design, and Austin captures it beautifully:
David Maman
David Maman is a travel and commercial photographer from Montreal, Canada. Photography became his passion when he left for a year-long voyage around the world with a camera that he didn’t touch for the first two months of the trip. Then, one day in Lisbon, he took it out and never put it away again.
From that point it became a hobby, which grew into a full time career. Today, he runs his own social media management company with 10 employees, and photography is at the core of their business. He’s on a mission to explore the entire world (he’s seen 59 countries so far)—make sure you follow his journey @david_maman, you won’t regret it:
We’re proud to work alongside such powerhouse luxury content creators who are just as committed to character, luxury, and storytelling as we are here at Luxpitality. There’s no doubt that their passion fuels our own, and we can’t wait to see what they come up with next.
