I know what it takes to get an Airbnb right

I have also been on the other side of the camera.

When preparing my own property for short-term rental, I was personally involved in choosing furniture, throws, candles, mirrors and all the small accessories that create the right atmosphere.

I also photographed the property myself, worked out the best time of day to capture each space and managed the listing and advertising.

So I understand that successful Airbnb photography isn't simply about taking attractive pictures. It is about understanding how the property should feel, what guests are looking for and which details can make someone choose your property over another.

That experience influences the way I photograph Airbnb properties today — looking beyond the rooms themselves and concentrating on the atmosphere, personality and experience you want to offer your guests.
