Airbnb Photography in Nottingham

Hello! I’m Edward, and I specialise in Airbnb photography across Nottingham, Derby, Leicester and the wider Midlands. What makes me a bit different is that as well as being a professional photographer, I’m also an Airbnb host myself. So when it comes to photographing an Airbnb, I know exactly how to capture it at its best and what elements are important to show your potential guests.

Good Airbnb photos are absolutely essential for the marketing of every short-term rental property. Your listing photos are often the very first thing potential guests see, and they make the difference between someone booking your property or scrolling past to the next one. I’ve photographed many Airbnb properties across the Midlands and I understand how to bring out the best of a property so that guests are given the best possible impression of what their stay might look like. Get in touch to discuss your Airbnb photography needs.

Professional Airbnb Photography Services
As an Airbnb photographer, I bring both professional photography expertise and real-world hosting experience to every shoot. I know what guests are looking for when they browse listings – that warm, welcoming feeling that makes them think “I can see myself staying here.” I can advise on staging your Airbnb guest rooms and on how to make them look the most appealing, from the way you dress the bed to how you set up your outdoor spaces.

My Airbnb professional photography service captures your property in the best possible light. I use professional wide-angle lenses to show the full extent of spaces, work with natural light wherever possible, and create images that are bright, crisp and inviting. Depending on the size of your Airbnb accommodation, I will need anything from one to two hours to a full day to capture all the images needed to promote your listing effectively.

I’ll give you a set of Airbnb photos which show off your interiors and outside areas as well as some detail shots which highlight particular amenities and any unique aspects of your property. These details matter – whether it’s a cosy reading nook, a well-equipped kitchen, luxury toiletries in the bathroom, or a beautiful garden view, I know how to capture the features that make guests choose your Airbnb over others.
What Makes Great Airbnb Photos?

Great Airbnb photos need to do more than just show rooms – they need to sell the experience of staying at your property. They need to answer the questions guests are asking: Will I be comfortable here? Is it clean? What’s the view like? How much space will I have? What amenities are included?

I photograph your Airbnb to tell that complete story. Wide shots show the layout and flow of each space. Detail shots highlight the little touches that make your property special – fresh flowers, quality linens, thoughtful welcome baskets, modern appliances, cosy throws. Lifestyle styling shows how guests might use the space – a breakfast table set for morning coffee, an outdoor seating area ready for evening drinks, a workspace set up for remote workers.

This attention to detail in Airbnb photography makes a real difference to booking rates. Properties with professional photography consistently receive more bookings, achieve higher nightly rates and get better reviews from guests whose expectations have been properly set by accurate, appealing photos. Browse our property photography gallery to see examples of my Airbnb photography work.

Airbnb Host Photography Services

Airbnb guests are looking for more than just somewhere to sleep – they’re looking for an experience. Your Airbnb professional photography needs to capture that experience and make potential guests excited about staying with you.

I can advise on how to prepare your property for the Airbnb photo shoot, including staging tips, styling suggestions and timing recommendations to make the most of natural light. I’ve learned which photos work best – the hero shot that draws guests in, the bedroom photos that reassure them about comfort, the kitchen photos that show they can cook if they want to, the bathroom photos that demonstrate cleanliness and quality.

My Airbnb host photography services include both essential room shots and the lifestyle details that bring a listing to life. I’ll photograph every room and space that guests have access to, plus outdoor areas, parking facilities and any special features like hot tubs, fire pits or games rooms. I’ll also capture contextual shots that show your property’s location – whether that’s city views, countryside surroundings or proximity to local attractions.

Airbnb Photography Package Options

I offer flexible Airbnb photography packages designed to suit different types and sizes of property. Whether you have a single room in a shared house, a self-contained studio, a full apartment, or a large holiday cottage, I can create a package that provides all the images you need without paying for more than you require.

A typical Airbnb photography package includes:

  • Wide-angle shots of all guest-accessible rooms
  • Exterior photography showing the building and outdoor spaces
  • Detail shots highlighting key amenities and special features
  • Contextual shots showing location and surroundings where relevant
  • Professional editing of all images
  • High-resolution files for your Airbnb listing
  • Web-optimised versions for quick loading
  • Advice on staging and preparation before the shoot

​For larger properties or those with extensive grounds, outdoor entertaining areas, or multiple accommodation units, I can arrange full-day Airbnb photography sessions that capture everything comprehensively. For smaller properties, a few hours is usually sufficient to get all the images you need.

I also offer drone photography for properties where aerial shots would add value – showing the full extent of gardens, the property in its countryside setting, or proximity to local landmarks. These can be particularly effective for rural retreats, properties with stunning views, or those where location is a major selling point.

Airbnb Photography Cost

I believe in transparent Airbnb photography cost with no hidden fees. My pricing is straightforward and designed to offer excellent value for Airbnb hosts who want professional photography that will pay for itself many times over through increased bookings.

Airbnb photography cost depends on the size of your property, the number of images required, and whether any additional services such as drone photography are needed. As a general guide, smaller properties (studios and one-bedroom apartments) typically require one to two hours, two to three-bedroom properties need around half a day, and larger holiday homes might require a full day to photograph comprehensively.

I always provide a clear quote before any shoot so you know exactly what the Airbnb photography cost will be. Many hosts find that professional Airbnb photos pay for themselves within just a few bookings through improved booking rates and the ability to charge higher nightly rates for a property that presents well online. Get in touch for a personalised quote based on your specific property.

Preparing Your Airbnb for Photography

To get the best results from your Airbnb photography session, I recommend preparing your property as you would for a 5-star guest arrival. This means:

    • Deep clean everything, paying special attention to windows, mirrors and surfaces
    • Declutter all spaces – remove personal items, excess furniture and anything that doesn’t contribute to the guest experience
    • Style bedrooms with fresh, crisp linens and plumped cushions
    • Set bathrooms with fresh towels and toiletries displayed attractively
    • Style living spaces with throws, cushions and a few carefully chosen decorative items
    • Clear kitchen counters but perhaps leave a few attractive items like a coffee machine or fruit bowl
    • Set outdoor areas with furniture arranged invitingly
    • Turn on all lights and ensure curtains/blinds are open to maximise natural light
    • Consider small touches like fresh flowers, books on shelves, or wine glasses by the sofa
