Earn more with enticing photos

On average, properties with high-quality images on the listing sell 32% faster and for $10,000 more.

But when it comes to short-term rentals, the role of pictures is even greater. People rarely check rooms in person before booking them. Instead, they choose the best offering based on the descriptions, reviews, and photos they find online.

And, arguably, photos have a bigger impact on the final decision. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. But that might be an underestimate. A study found that one photo brings as much value as 2856 words in the description.

But what makes a good image?

Part of it is staging, composition, and getting the angles right. Then there’s brightness, saturation, clarity, and other visual properties. All of these things contribute to how well your image is perceived.

For example, listings with brighter photos generate an extra $90 to $104 each month.

As you can see, there’s many components to image quality.

Some of them, like composition, are hard to change in post-processing.

But things like lighting and colors are equally important. And yet they are hard to get right when shooting indoors.

Why is eal Estate photography challenging?

Professional real estate photography is expensive and time-consuming. It involves a lot of preparation and gear. That’s why listings often have DIY photos shot with an iPhone in poorly lit rooms.

Light AI for interior and exterior photography

From kitchen to outdoor shots, Light AI works with any type of real estate photography.

Kitchens usually have a lot of white surfaces. With Light AI, walls, ceilings, and all the white things will look white—not grey or yellow, as it sometimes happens in amateur photos.

Kids’ rooms explode with colors. Light AI helps restore the wide range of tints, tones, and shades the camera couldn’t catch.

Professional photographers use bulky light equipment and complicated HDR fusion methods to come up with good living room images. Light AI achieves similar results with a lot less effort.

Exterior photography presents its own challenges. Depending on the time of the day and weather, there could be either too much or not enough sunlight outdoors.

With Light AI, you don’t have to wait for a magic hour to take a photo.
