Why Professional Photos Matter
The data is clear — professional photography is the single biggest investment you can make to increase your bookings and revenue.
Professional Photography
Airbnb's own data shows listings with professional photos get 24% more bookings and command higher nightly rates.
5-Star First Impressions
Your cover photo is the single most important factor in whether a guest clicks on your listing or scrolls past it.
Higher Nightly Rates
Hosts report 15-20% higher nightly rates after upgrading to professional photography. The investment pays for itself within weeks.
Multi-Platform Marketing
Use your professional photos across Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, your own website, and social media for maximum reach.
Properties I Photograph
From cosy Somerset cottages to city apartments and glamping pods — I've photographed every type of short-let property.
Holiday Cottages
Thatched cottages, converted barns, and farmhouses. I capture the character and charm that makes guests choose your property.
Airbnb Apartments
Modern flats, city apartments, and studio spaces. Clean, bright photography that makes your listing stand out in search results.
Glamping & Unique Stays
Shepherds huts, treehouses, yurts, and pods. I photograph them to capture the atmosphere and adventure guests are looking for.
Serviced Accommodation
Corporate lets, serviced apartments, and apart-hotels. Professional imagery that appeals to business travellers and longer stays.
