As I've learned through over 2000 short-term rental properties and countless conversations with Airbnb hosts about their booking rates, professional Airbnb photography is its own unique challenge.

Here are the most important lessons I've learned that have shaped how I approach every holiday rental photo shoot today.

The most successful Airbnb photo shoots are those where vacation rental hosts have prepared their space thoughtfully, understanding that we're not just documenting rooms; we're creating the first impression for thousands of potential guests.

Here's the comprehensive checklist I share with all my Airbnb clients to ensure we capture their short-term rental property at its absolute best.

After years of shooting properties and recognising similarities and differences in how they are presented, I've become fascinated by the psychology behind what makes guests choose one property over another. While factors like price and location definitely matter, the professional Airbnb photos are where the emotional decision happens.

Understanding the psychological triggers that drive booking decisions has transformed how I approach every vacation rental photo shoot. Here's what I've learned about the mental journey Airbnb guests take from browsing to booking.

I work with Airbnb hosts, property managers, developers and boutique accommodation providers to create standout listing photos that drive bookings and boost visibility. Every space has potential. My goal is to help you present yours in the most compelling and professional way possible.
