Brand-New Photo Fakeouts! Pool Crops, Vanishing Crowds, and More

We hate to toot our own horn (or do we?), but we here at Oyster are kinda famous for our photo fakeouts.

Whether it's some sneaky cropping, over-the-top staging, or serious editing, marketing photos frequently make properties appear way more luxe (or modern or serene) than they actually are. During our travels we've found plenty of hotels guilty of a little marketing magic, and our latest round of fakeouts is no exception. Click through here to see some major fakeouts!
