The Creative Eyes Behind Locèlle

Every extraordinary stay begins with a first impression.

Before a traveler falls in love with a home's architecture, imagines themselves drinking coffee on the porch, or decides to book directly with an owner, there's a photograph. It's often the very first invitation into a place.

At Locèlle, we don't simply feature beautiful homes—we tell the stories behind them. That means working with photographers and artists who understand that great hospitality photography isn't about documenting rooms. It's about capturing atmosphere, craftsmanship, and the feeling of being there.

These are the creatives whose work has helped shape the visual language of Locèlle.

Featured Photographers

Matt Hildreth

Based in Coastal Virginia and available to travel, Matt specializes in architectural, hospitality, and lifestyle photography that prioritizes mood over inventory. Before photographing design-led homes, he spent years documenting aircraft carrier and submarine construction in Virginia shipyards—an unlikely foundation that gave him an eye for structure, precision, and storytelling.

His work appears throughout our feature on Atlas Farmstay, where every image invites travelers into the quiet rhythm of North Georgia.

Cheyenne Crawford

Her work has appeared in Architectural Digest, The Wall Street Journal, Luxe Interiors + Design, Dwell, and Robb Report, and she photographed Timber + Glass, one of Locèlle's most celebrated forest retreats.

James Reed

Matt Albiani

Fashion, lifestyle, and hospitality photographer Matt Albiani is also the co-owner of Sea Roost, the restored fishermen's compound in Montauk featured on Locèlle.

His background photographing for brands like Ralph Lauren, Vanity Fair, and GQ gives Sea Roost a distinctly editorial perspective—one shaped by someone who knows both the home and the camera behind it.

Beyond Photography

Not every story begins with a camera.

Contemporary painter Nicolas Roes captures barns, rural architecture, and working landscapes with the same quiet appreciation for place that inspires many of the homes featured on Locèlle. His work reminds us that architecture can be interpreted as both shelter and art.

At Locèlle, we believe remarkable homes deserve remarkable storytelling. The photographers and artists we feature don't simply document architecture—they reveal why a place feels memorable, helping travelers discover homes worth booking directly and owners share the stories that make their stays unlike anywhere else.
