Who it is for
Who books this, and why
Alojamento Local hosts and managers
Someone running several units needs every listing photographed to the same standard, and a new unit online before its calendar has an empty week in it.
Agents and owners selling or letting
A property portal shows the first image at thumbnail size among dozens in the same search. Fifteen to twenty images cover the rooms and the view — what a buyer checks before asking for a visit.
Owners after a renovation
The work was expensive and the old photographs still sell the flat as it was. One visit replaces a listing’s worth of phone pictures taken on different days in different weather.

How it works
From the first message to your gallery
Send the address, typology and orientation
T1, T3, a house with a garden — and, if you know it, which rooms get the morning sun. If you do not, the photographer works out the orientation before proposing a time.
We propose the hour
The time is chosen for the light rather than for the diary. The photographer and the slot are confirmed usually the same working day.
30 minutes on site
Each room from the angle that shows its size honestly, then the view, with the camera kept level so the walls start out straight. Common areas and exteriors are quoted on request as a longer session.
15–20 images within 24 hours
Verticals corrected and colour casts removed, delivered to a private gallery in full resolution, ready to upload to the listing.
Four details — place, date, session and how to reach you — are enough for a written quote. Nothing to pay to ask.
Before the session
How to prepare
Short, practical, and the part most people skip. None of it costs anything, and all of it shows in the photographs.
- Clear every surface — kitchen counters, bathroom shelves, bedside tables. The camera exaggerates clutter.
- Replace dead bulbs and use the same colour of bulb throughout each room.
- Make the beds with plain, ironed linen in white or one light colour.
- Put away bins, cables, remote controls, toiletries and fridge magnets.
- Open every blind and shutter fully before the photographer arrives.
- Arrange access to the terrace, pool or shared garden in advance if they belong in the listing.

Frequently asked questions about Property & Alojamento Local
How much of a property fits into 30 minutes?
A studio or a one-bedroom flat comfortably, with the view. A larger flat, a house with outdoor areas, or several units in one building need a longer session — quoted in writing before you book, not discovered on the day.
Will the rooms look bigger than they are?
No. The lens is chosen to show the whole room without stretching it. A room that looks twice its size in the photograph produces a disappointed visitor and, on a short-term rental, a review that says so.
Can objects be removed from the photographs afterwards?
The retouching is correction: straight verticals and neutral colour. Tidying happens before the photograph, which is why the preparation list matters more than anything done at the computer.
What if the day we booked for sun turns out grey?
The session moves to another day at no cost. For a listing that has to go live now, the photographer can still shoot and you decide — but a south-facing flat under cloud is not the flat you are selling.
Can the images go on every portal and platform we list on?
Listing a property is commercial use, which the standard personal licence does not cover. Tell us where the property will be advertised when you book, and that use is agreed in writing with the quote, before the session.

The single thing that separates a listing that performs from one that does not is whether the rooms were photographed when they face the sun. A south-facing flat shot at nine in the morning and the same flat shot at four are two different properties as far as a listing is concerned, and the difference is free — it costs a phone call to find out which way the windows point before anyone drives over.
Portugal’s Alojamento Local market makes this a recurring job rather than a one-off: a registered short-term rental competes on a thumbnail against a hundred others in the same postcode. Thirty minutes on site and fifteen to twenty images, verticals corrected so the walls are parallel, and the orange cast that tungsten lighting puts on every white wall removed rather than left to look like a filter; a larger property that needs longer is quoted in writing on request. Delivered within twenty-four hours, because a listing that is not live is not earning.
