We’re always told not to judge a book by its cover, but let’s be real: we’re going to judge a short-term rental by the first photo we see of it. In a sea of millions of listings, your property has to have good photos. Not a photographer? No problem. That’s where the Airbnb Pro Photography Program comes to play.
Host Tools provides an automated, unified calendar for short-term rental hosts, allowing you to seamlessly list on all major channels. Start your free trial today!
What is the Airbnb Pro Photography Program?
In short, the Airbnb Pro Photography Program is designed to connect hosts with affordable (yet excellent) photographers. Airbnb carefully curates their portfolio of photographers to ensure they meet both the platform’s and your standards. When you work with the Airbnb Pro Photography Program, you’ll receive 15-25 high-quality images. Better photos mean more bookings. Plain and simple.
How it works
Starting with the Airbnb Pro Photography Program is easy. Here’s what to do:
- First, you have to operate a listing where the program is available.
- If your property is eligble, go ahead and sign-up. Once matched, you’ll work together to schedule a photoshoot. After signing up, Airbnb will connect you with a professional photographer. Together, you’ll schedule a convenient time for the photoshoot.
- Once the photos are ready, they’ll be automatically uploaded to your listing.
The cost of the photography service will be deducted from your upcoming booking payouts. No payment upfront!
Why professional photos matter
Additionally, professional photos can make a world of difference for your short-term rental business. Here’s why:
- Guests want to see the vibe of your place. Quality photos help communicate the aesthetic you’re putting down.
- Clear, well-lit images exude professionalism and build trust with potential guests right from the start.
- Listings with better photographs will grab attention. The more eyes on your listing, the more bookings you’ll get.
