Drone & Aerial Photography for Airbnb launches
The reason drone aerial works on a Airbnb launch is the mix of ground stills, wide context and a controlled aerial pass. Short-let hosts launching on Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking need imagery that survives the tiny hero-crop and the phone-first browse — the shoot is scoped for that reality.
- →Airbnb-crop safe hero
- →Every sleeping space
- →Kitchen and bathroom wides
- →Amenity detail frames
- →Optional aerial for setting
Context
Short-let launch imagery is a crop discipline.
What that looks like on the ground: high-resolution aerial stills and 4K video, supplied within 48 hours. The whole visit is crop-driven — the hero has to work at 400px wide.
Brief
How the Airbnb brief runs.
CAA-licensed flights with a sub-2kg airframe inside congested-area permissions. The whole visit is crop-driven — the hero has to work at 400px wide.

Constraints
What shapes the shoot
