Property Photography for Airbnb launches
For property at a Airbnb launch we plan around three things: opening hours, sight lines and weather windows. 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.
Context
Short-let launch imagery is a crop discipline.
What that looks like on the ground: 20–35 retouched stills, floorplan-aware composition, same-week turnaround. The whole visit is crop-driven — the hero has to work at 400px wide.
Brief
How the Airbnb brief runs.

Constraints
What shapes the shoot
- •Every frame is crop-tested at Airbnb hero size before we leave.
- •Sleeping surfaces are dressed fully — Airbnb's listing rules require it.
- •Amenity detail (coffee machine, hot tub, workstation) is captured close.
