AIR BNB PHOTOGRAPHY

In a saturated holiday rental market, making a great first impression is essential, and nothing helps your listing stand out above the competition more than beautiful, aspirational photographic images.

Lisa Atkinson is a Melbourne / Mornington Peninsula-based commercial photographer specialising in editorial style interior and architectural photography.  As a qualified interior designer herself prior to stepping behind the lens, Lisa uses her understanding of design and angles to photographically capture a space in detail and essence, and in this way, knows how to capture the real beauty and essence of your short-stay rental property. 

Using predominantly natural light during shooting, and minimal phtotoshop in the post-production phase, Lisa’s images have less of a ‘real-estate’ feel to them, and embrace the style of imagery that you would find in a high-end design magazine. Editorial-style interiors photography is more emotive, with bright, ‘blown out’ windows, and use of shadows to enhance textures and detail, and are designed to really capture a mood and essence to entice potential customers to book your property over the countless others available.  Beyond the visual appeal of a great set of images, professional photography also creates a level of trustworthiness and professionalism of you as a host, where your guests can feel reassured that they’ll have a great experience your a beautiful space.

While professional styling can enhance the look and feel of a property, for the purpose of holiday rental photography, the styling should be kept to a minimum in order to realistically represent how your clients will find the property when they stay. Having said that, a little bit of artistic licence or human elements (such as a hand holding a cold drink by the pool, or a towel draped over a chair can really add to the potential customer’s ability to visualise themselves in your space.

Location images of the vicinity, such as local beaches, cafes, shopping areas can also enhance your listing’s desirability.

Seasonal shots throughout the year can also extend your property’s appeal, by demonstrating to prospective clients how they can enjoy your space and surroundings all year round.
