The Difference a Professional Airbnb Photographer makes for Airbnb and VRBO Rentals

When you are listing a short-term vacation rental on either Airbnb or VRBO you want to make sure you are catching the reader’s attention. There are over 5.6 million active listings and 4 million hosts on Airbnb and over 2 million active listings on VRBO. This means you need to stand out from the crowd! But how? By investing in a professional Airbnb photographer who can provide you with eye-catching, scroll-stopping, high-quality professional photos! 

DIY Vs investing in a Professional Airbnb Photographer 

Professional Airbnb photographers can capture your short-term vacation rental in a way that a phone camera cannot. With phone cameras, there will be uneven details in brightness as well as shadows hiding the details you want to portray in your photos. But a professional Airbnb photographer with a professional camera knows how to portray a property and all of its details. Take a look at the before and after of a beautiful Airbnb in Brenham Texas I photographed.

Photographers will photograph certain details to guide the viewer’s eyes to certain points around the home, accentuating your Airbnb or VRBO rental and its best features through color, contrasts, and angles. 

Not only that but, professional Airbnb photography captures the reader’s attention faster! It’s proved that listing that contains high-quality photos holds the audience’s attention longer than those taken by a phone camera. When youre competing with millions of other Airbnb and VRBO rentals you want to make sure you are standing out from the crowd! Professional photography can help you do that. It shows your clients and customers what you do differently. A professional Airbnb photographer will showcase your rental property’s best features with spacious settings and bright, vibrant backgrounds, which will in turn grab your customers’ attention. 

Before and After Photos

Just take a look at these before and after photos of a couple of different Airbnbs I photographed. The images truly speak for themselves! You can tell the difference in lighting, brightness, and shadows, and overall composition. 

What’s so great about investing in a professional Airbnb photographer is that as a photographer experience in interiors, we understand how to adjust the lighting and the color before capturing the image.

Book more reservations! 

Last but not least, short-term vacation rental hosts who invest in a professional Airbnb photographer receive 24 percent more bookings than those who don’t and choose to display low-quality photos. 

If your goal is to grow your Airbnb or VRBO rental listing then, this is your sign and why you should invest in a professional Airbnb photographer!
