A property photography shoot usually costs around €120, which is the regular price for shoots intended to list properties on Booking and Airbnb. As a general guide, the average rate for photographing a property is about €140. What each person pays depends on the home, how many photos they need and the day of the session.
What the price includes
What does that price include? Many photographers charge by the number of photographs. But they don't count every one they take in the home. They count the ones they deliver edited and ready to publish on a website or in a brochure. Others charge by the hour. In that case, the rate may include the time of the session at the property, the travel to get there and the editing afterwards. That's why it's always worth asking for a detailed quote. That way you know which tasks are included in the price and which aren't.
The size and type of property
Why does it vary so much from one job to another? Because of the size and type of property. Photographing a large, empty plot of land costs less than capturing every detail of a large house. A flat with five bedrooms, two bathrooms and a living area takes more time than a studio. When the price is per photo, each photo usually works out cheaper the more photos you order.

The day of the session
The day matters too. A session at the weekend or on a bank holiday can cost more, because the photographer has fewer free slots. It works out cheaper to choose a weekday, book in advance and steer clear of bank holidays, the summer holidays and Christmas.
Who takes the photos
Some jobs are more technical and so have higher rates. They need more equipment and more know-how. That's why it matters who takes the photos. You have to understand the property market and know what to highlight in each home, because that makes a big difference to the result. Photographer Carlos Alonso advises checking that the professional has training and experience in this type of photography. How can you check? By asking for their portfolio or references from previous clients.

Get the home ready
Before the session, leave the home tidy and ready. Good photos start with a tidy room, with light and without unnecessary objects.
How to ask for a quote
Do you already know which property you want photographed? The next step is simple. Write a short message with the basics: where the home is in Asturias, how many bedrooms and bathrooms it has, what the photos are for (sale, rental, Booking or Airbnb) and which days suit you. That's enough to ask for a detailed quote. Ask what it includes: how many edited photos, whether travel is included and whether the price changes at the weekend. And ask to see previous photography and video work. No rush and no obligation.
