Hotel & Airbnb photography — Barcelona

Yes, and it makes a huge difference. The flat should be clean and tidy, with the bed made in plain linen, surfaces cleared and no personal items in view. I send a simple checklist in advance. I handle the fine styling on the day — placing cushions, straightening a throw, adding a welcome touch — but the basic cleaning and tidying are on you. The better prepared it is, the brighter and more sellable the photos turn out.

Yes. Beyond the high-resolution files, I deliver versions cropped to the proportions each platform prioritises, so the cover photo looks complete and appealing both in the gallery and in the mobile preview. That way you don't lose the framing we worked so hard on to an automatic portal crop. You just upload and order them; the first should always be the strongest.

Yes, it's very common. For managers and owners with several short-let flats we apply a batch rate and plan the sessions in blocks to optimise travel. The key thing is that we keep a consistent style across the whole catalogue — same light, same tone, same level of styling — so your brand is recognisable from one listing to the next and the guest perceives professionalism across the portfolio. Tell me how many flats and where, and I'll prepare a fixed proposal.

Yes, and in Barcelona the views and surroundings sell as much as the interior. If the flat has an Eixample balcony, a terrace with views or is steps from Barceloneta, we make the most of it: terrace shots at sunset, the balcony with the city behind and, where it helps, a couple of images of the neighbourhood or the beach to place the stay. The guest doesn't just book a flat, they book an area — and showing it well boosts appeal and justifies the price.
