Our role
Precious led the creative, bringing its own director, director of photography and photographer from London. We ran the production on the ground in Japan: casting, styling, crew, schedules, transport and translation between the London team, hotel staff and the Japanese crew, so the creative team could concentrate on the pictures.
Casting was at the centre of the campaign. We cast Japanese and Korean families, an international couple and a bartender, and supplied stylists and hair and make-up. They played out the campaign's scenes: a weekend away with friends, a family meal, connecting rooms for a family stay, and a couple's evening in Kyoto.
The schedule was tight, moving between two cities over five days. Our assistant director ran the timings on set and kept every set-up on time. A licensed drone operator captured aerials, including an indoor drone shot through the 40th-floor Sky Lobby at Conrad Osaka.
What the shoot delivered
More than 100 high-resolution images and more than 10 videos for Hilton's digital advertising in Japan and across Asia Pacific. The campaign followed an earlier photo and video shoot we produced for Precious and Hilton at Waldorf Astoria Osaka in June 2025.
