The Simple Trick to Improve Your Professional Airbnb Photos Right Now

While we’re talking about the camera’s position, we have to talk about the "leaning walls" syndrome. If you want your listing to look like it belongs in a design gallery, your vertical lines must be straight.

This means your camera needs to be perfectly level. If you tilt your camera down to see more of the floor, or up to see the light fixture, your walls will start to look like they’re falling over. In the industry, we call this "converging verticals," and it’s the fastest way to make a professional Airbnb photoshoot look amateur (it’s also a common giveaway when someone’s hired the wrong kind of shooter; say, a real estate photographer melbourne who’s moving too fast and relying on heavy wide-angle rather than careful leveling).
