Airbnb Photography Christchurch

Do you own an Airbnb or rental property and need to get more clients staying with you? My name is Belinda and I’m a Christchurch photographer who has done photos for several Airbnbs in the area.

 

 

Why professional photos are important

 

 

There are many reasons why professional photos are important. Here are some:

 

    1. Capturing the special atmosphere of your home. A professional photographer can suggest what might make the photos pop. For example sometimes moving a piece of furniture or adding some fairy lights might make the house seem more atmospheric.
    2. Knowing angles – a good professional photographer will know how to use a wide angle lens to capture the whole room – much wider than a cellphone camera – and yet keep angles looking fairly straight.
    3. Making sure the light is controlled – professional photographers know how to make sure there are no bright highlights in the room, either through editing or shooting at the correct time of day.
    4. Capturing details. Professional photographers can capture details and make them look arty and attractive.
    5. Reducing or brightening colours. Orange wood can be dulled down to look less oppressive using editing software. A lovely bright room can be enhanced further through editing. Whites can be made to pop. This all helps make the property look attractive to clients.
Having an image that captures the attention of people who are scrolling through Airbnb properties will hopefully make them click on your property.  This should help get bookings. If your photo is dark, boring or uninspiring then you risk being scrolled past and you lose the sale.  You only have a few seconds to attract people’s attention, so a good way is to make sure your photos are great! Bright warm colours make the eye go towards them.  Also just a beautiful space photographed well should increase views on your page. Check out the examples of properties I’ve photographed recently.
