Creating an inviting listing of your space starts with high-quality photos as most guests make their decision based on visuals, it is essential to present your space in the best light. You’ll learn all the necessary steps to create stunning images that attract more viewers and increase bookings and earnings.

Before we start 

It is important to understand how your photos are displayed on Spaceit: 

  • Featured image – your thumbnail photo, it is the one that shows first on your listing page and that is displayed on the search results
  • Other photos – appear as a collage displayed at the top of your listing page and get cropped as a rectangle, so remember to center your photos

Getting started

Prepare your space 

Before taking any photos, ensure that your space is clean and clutter-free. Remove any unnecessary items, tidy up desks and communal areas, and consider adding decorative elements to enhance the ambiance. 

Clean your phone lens

Do not forget to clean your phone lens before taking photos. Smudges and dirt can affect the quality and clarity of photos. Use a microfiber cloth to wipe any fingerprints or dust from the lens.

Natural light 

Whenever possible, try to utilize as much neutral lighting as you can. Neutral light enhances colors and sets a warm and inviting atmosphere. It is best to take photos during sunny days at dawn or sunset. 

Turn on the grid view

Pay attention to composition when framing shots. Apply the rule of thirds to your shots to create visually appealing photos.  For easier composition, turn on the grid view on your smartphone before taking photos.

Use HDR (High Dynamic Range) mode

HDR mode allows you to capture more details in both shadows and highlights, resulting in more detailed and vibrant photos.

Stabilization 

Keep it steady to prevent blurry and out-of-focus photos. Try to keep the phone at chest height and prevent tilting up or down. 

Highlight amenities 

Focus on key areas of your space and make sure to highlight noteworthy amenities. 

Finishing touches

Edit your photos 

Enhance each photo by adjusting brightness, contrast, and highlights using tools that are available on your phone such as the auto-editing feature. Additionally, manually crop, straighten or rotate images to ensure they are properly oriented.
