We often get calls from regular homeowners (as opposed to real estate agents) wondering if we offer our services for short-term rentals or simply to get images of their home after a renovation or in season.
Many short-term rental services recommend taking pictures yourself and provide certain suggestions and guidelines, however, nothing beats the power of a professional photographer's eye and the experience and knowledge of properly editing, adjusting lighting and color-correcting images.
What impressed me the most about this photo shoot is how well the client staged and set up the property for the photo shoot! The choice of furniture, pillows and artwork was out of this world and the client also paid great attention to minimize clutter and and set up the property (fire pit, hot tub etc...) ahead of the photo shoot. These are small details but enhance the value of the photo shoot and make for a great listing.
When we shoot Airbnb's and short-term rentals, we take a different approach to shooting photographs. For a regular photo shoot for a real estate listing, we try to capture entire rooms to get a feel for the space. For short-term rentals, we will also include close up shots of special areas like a coffee bar, fire pit, hot tub, laundry room - features the client would like to showcase specifically on their listing. Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words and for Airbnb's this means easily informating clients of special areas and instructions.
