Practical Airbnb and short-stay advice from a property photographer: what to buy, how to style each room, and how to get listing photos that earn the booking.

Three things decide whether a guest books

  • The right essentials

    What to stock in every room, so guests find what they expect and your reviews stay at five stars. Start with the Airbnb essentials checklist.

  • Styling that photographs well

    Simple changes to bedding, colour and layout that make rooms look brighter, bigger and more inviting on a phone screen.

  • Listing photos that sell

    How to prepare for a shoot, which photos matter most, and why your first image does most of the work.

The room-by-room list I give hosts before every shoot. Work through it in an afternoon and your place will look its best, whether you book a photographer or take the photos yourself.

Hi, I'm Jack
