Meet Me and See What I Do

Hi! I’m Hugo, a professional real estate and nature photographer from the Netherlands.
This September, I’ll be traveling through Southern Europe and I’m offering a limited number of collaborations with unique accommodations.

In exchange for a short stay, I create high-quality visuals that help you stand out online for Airbnb, Booking.com, or your own website and social media.

You’ll receive a curated set of professional photos of:

  • Interior & exterior spaces

  • Natural surroundings and local atmosphere

  • Lifestyle shots to highlight mood and experience

  • (Optional) Drone shots & short video content

All images are edited, high-resolution, and delivered within 7 days. You can use them freely for all marketing purposes.

What i offer

Work That Speaks for Itself

Why This Collaboration Works

  • High-Quality, Hassle-Free Content

    As a professional real estate and environment photographer, I know how to highlight the charm and unique character of your property. I work quietly, independently, and with minimal disruption — whether you’re running a small B&B or a larger hotel.

    You’ll receive magazine-worthy images tailored for Airbnb, Booking.com, your own website, or social media channels — without having to organize a big production.

  • No Cost, No Hassle

    This is not a commercial shoot with agency fees or hidden costs. My base offer is simple: in exchange for a short stay, I deliver a full set of professional photos that showcase your accommodation at its best.

    There’s no charge for this exchange just a place to stay and access to your property.

  • More Bookings, More Impact

    Studies show that great visuals directly influence guest bookings. Properties with professional photos consistently perform better online.

    With this collaboration, you can:

    Refresh your listings with up-to-date images

    Stand out in saturated rental markets

    Build trust and appeal instantly with future guests

  • Scalable for Any Property Size

    Whether you run a cozy cabin, a vineyard villa, a glamping site, or a boutique hotel, I adapt to your needs. Smaller properties can be captured in one day, while larger hotels may require 2–3 days of planned shooting.

    We’ll agree in advance on what to cover, and I’ll deliver a full gallery of ready-to-use images.

  • Low-Stress & Human-Centered

    I’m not here to take over your space — I’m here to collaborate with care. I understand the rhythms of hospitality and always approach shoots with flexibility, respect for your guests and staff, and clear communication.

    This should feel good, simple, and mutually beneficial.

  • Need more?

    If you’d like to add drone photography, short-form video content, or more extensive coverage (for larger hotels or multi-location properties), I’m happy to offer these as optional paid services.


    I’ll always be transparent about pricing and only proceed if it fits your needs and budget.

Let’s Work Together

I’m planning a small number of stops in Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, and Croatia during September 2025. If you run a charming or unique place to stay, I’d love to hear from you.

Spots are limited — reach out early if you're interested in collaborating.

FAQs

  • Not at all! I love working with small, unique places — but boutique hotels, resorts and eco-lodges are also welcome. For larger properties, we can schedule a multi-day shoot to make sure everything is captured with care.

  • Just a place to stay for a few nights and access to the spaces you'd like photographed. That’s it — no payment required unless you request extras like drone footage or video.

  • Absolutely. I’m happy to follow your wishes — whether it’s just the guest rooms, shared spaces, outdoor areas, or the surrounding environment.

  • No problem. I’m used to working around guest schedules and can shoot discreetly when areas are available. Flexibility is part of what I offer.

  • You’ll receive a curated set of 20–50 professionally edited images, depending on the size of the property. All delivered in high resolution within 7 days.

  • You get full usage rights for online and offline marketing — including Airbnb, Booking.com, your website, and social media.

  • Yes! I offer optional extras like drone photography, short reels, or promotional videos. These are available for a small additional fee or custom arrangement.

  • I work solo, which keeps things efficient, personal and flexible. You don’t have to worry about a crew coming in — it’s just me, my gear, and a calm, respectful approach.

  • My travel route is flexible, but I plan to visit Portugal, Spain, France, Italy and Croatia in September 2025. If you're in another nearby region, feel free to reach out anyway!
