Yes — although based near Cambridge, Rob photographs properties across the UK, including London, Oxford, Milton Keynes, Bedford, Northampton and beyond.
For a 1–2 bedroom home, a property photoshoot typically takes around 60–90 minutes. Larger homes naturally require more time, with most 4‑bedroom properties taking up to 2 hours. This allows for bright, well‑composed images that present the space at its best and help your listing stand out in the Cambridge property market.
Most shoots are delivered within 24 hours, ideal for estate agents, Airbnb hosts and short‑let property management companies who rely on fast, consistent turnaround.

This preparation helps Rob capture the strongest possible images and ensures the property looks its best across all listing platforms.
Clients receive a carefully curated collection of professionally edited, high‑resolution images covering all key rooms and exterior shots. Rob does not work to a fixed quota, instead, he supplies only the strongest images that genuinely showcase the property, with a minimum of 15 delivered as outlined in the rate card.
Airbnb hosts can choose either option, but the two services work differently. When booking through Airbnb’s internal photography system, the images are uploaded directly to the listing and become Airbnb‑verified. However, hosts do not receive copies of the photos, and the images can only be used on Airbnb.
When booking directly with Rob, hosts receive full‑resolution copies of all delivered images, with permission to use them across multiple platforms such as Booking.com, Vrbo, Expedia, Rightmove, Zoopla, personal websites and social media. Direct bookings offer more flexibility and faster turnaround, but the images are not verified when uploaded to Airbnb.
No. The property should be presented exactly as a guest will find it. While fresh flowers, wine, breakfast setups or decorative props can look attractive in photos, they should only be included if they are provided for every guest. If something appears in the images but is not offered during a stay, guests may claim the listing is misleading.
To avoid any surprises or complaints, Rob recommends preparing the property as if a guest were arriving: clean, tidy, uncluttered and accurately presented. This ensures the photos reflect the real guest experience and protects hosts from issues such as refund requests or negative reviews based on items shown in the images but not supplied in reality.
Rob will make light adjustments on the day to ensure the space photographs well, but he does not add props that could create unrealistic expectations.
Yes. Rob works with a number of reputable short‑let property management companies across Cambridgeshire and can recommend trusted operators if required. These companies handle everything from guest communication and cleaning to pricing, maintenance and listing optimisation, making them ideal for hosts who prefer a fully managed service.
For neutrality and fairness, Rob does not list specific companies on the website, but he is happy to provide recommendations privately based on the host’s location, property type and level of support needed.
