VACATION RENTAL PHOTOGRAPHY

With real estate photography, the goal is typically to make the space look large and to draw people in to an open house. You just need to find that ONE buyer who is the perfect fit. The homes are often unfurnished, so the photos are more about the amount of space available and any upgrades that have been done to appliances or finishes. In other words, you’re showing the actual house, rather than telling a story of what happens in it.

​

With vacation rental photography, though, you’re selling the lifestyle that this home offers to its renters. The folks who book it will be looking for an escape of some kind, so painting a picture of what sort of fantasy life they can expect will draw people in. This means that furnishings and styling play a crucial role! You’re no longer need the ultra wide shots to open up the living room, you’ll need tighter shots to show the feel of the space and the quality of the furnishings. You’ll need to show details, rather than empty closet space and dirty garages.
