Portrait & Headshot Photography for short-let hosts
A Airbnb launch shoot for headshots is a project, not a favour — the process reflects that. 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.
