Professional photography for Airbnb in Lima
Your property competes on its photographs first, before anyone reads a line of the listing. Poor lighting or a weak cover image cuts clicks even when the location is excellent.
Airbnb reports that hosts who used its professional photography service saw, on average, 21% more income over the following year than those who did not. It is the intervention with the best cost-to-effect ratio in the entire operation.
The same platform notes that guests prioritise photographs, the description and the reviews before deciding. Of the three, the only one you can fix in an afternoon is the first.
The work does not start with the camera. It starts by preparing the room: removing what does not belong, straightening textiles, sorting the lighting and deciding what each frame is saying.
How it runs
- 01
Preparation
Cleaning, styling and adjusting textiles and lighting. Most of the result is decided before the first frame.
- 02
The session
Every room, plus the details that back up the description: equipped kitchen, workspace, view.
- 03
Selection
The cover is chosen for its ability to earn a click, not for taste. Usually the largest and brightest room.
- 04
Gallery order
Images are sequenced to walk the viewer through the apartment, not in the order they were shot.

Questions about photography
01How often should the property be re-shot?
Whenever something relevant changes: new furniture, a refurbishment or a shift in target guest. A listing with photos that no longer match generates bad reviews through expectation, not through quality.
02Is shooting on a phone good enough?
For documenting turnovers, yes, and that is what we use. For the listing, no: that is precisely where someone decides whether to open it or scroll past.
03Is photography included in management?
It is part of bringing the property into operation. The exact scope is set out in the proposal, alongside the rest of the included services.
