Showready Studio

Make your holiday let the one guests click.

Guests choose from a grid of small photos on Airbnb and Booking.com. I edit yours so every room looks as bright and straight as it really is, with nothing added or hidden. Paste a link to your property and I'll fix one of its photos free, so you can see the difference first.

This opens an email with your link. I'll confirm permission and ask for the original photo before editing. Your free photo is ready within 1 working day of receiving it.

Demo: stock photo of a living room
Demo: the same stock photo, darkened in code to stand in for an unedited original

Demo only. Both sides are the same stock photo, with the “before” made darker in code. Paste a link to see a real edit of one of your own photos.

Got an email from me?

Then I've already fixed one of your photos. The link is in that email: your original and my edit, side by side, on a private page made for you. It stays up for 14 days and is hidden from search engines, though anyone with the link can open it. If you like what you see, let's do the rest.

I'll never ask you to log in or install anything. I only ask for payment after sending you a dated order summary, and bank details only ever come from [email protected]. If you're sent different details, email me before paying.

Photos first. Then bookings without the commission.

Stand out in the search results

Guests decide from a thumbnail. A bright, straight first photo gives them a reason to open yours instead of the one beside it.

No surprises at the door

Every edit stays true to the room, so the place guests walk into matches the photos they booked from. I list every change for you to check.

Keep more of every booking

With your own booking site, returning guests and their friends can book you direct, and no platform takes a cut. See what fees cost you now.

How it works

  1. I fix one of your photos, free. Send me a link to your property, or open the link in my email if I've already done it. You see your original and my edit side by side on a private page, with every change listed. I'll confirm the photos can be edited and ask for the originals if needed: a link tells me which property, but it doesn't give me permission to copy its photos.
  2. Let's do the rest. Ask for your order summary from that page. Once you’ve checked it and told me when to start, you pay by bank transfer. Every photo is back within 1 working day of your agreed start, once payment and authorised photos and instructions are in place.
  3. Then, if you want it, your own booking site. I'll mock up a booking site for your property, free, so you can see it before you decide. You only pay if you go ahead.

Edited, never faked

Guests compare the photos with what they find when they open the door, so the sky, the furniture and everything else in the room stay exactly as they are.

What I change

  • Light and exposure, so rooms look as bright as they feel
  • Colour casts from bulbs and grey days
  • Leaning walls and wonky horizons
  • Temporary clutter: bins, cables, toiletries, cleaning kit

What I never change

  • The sky, the sea or the view
  • The size or shape of a room
  • Furniture, décor or hot tubs that aren’t there
  • Wear, damp or anything a guest would notice when they arrive

Prices

Every price here is the total. There's no VAT to add.

Booking sites

Your own website, where guests check your dates and ask to book you direct. Each one has its own look: colours taken from your photos, a type pairing and layout to suit the property, and your story. Every site includes:

Fully bespoke booking site

from£1,200+ £49 a month hosting

Designed from scratch around your property and your brand, for owners and agencies who want a site unlike anyone else’s.

Hosting is a separate £49 a month. It keeps your site secure and properly maintained, and pays for fixing problems if they occur.

  • All the booking features listed above
  • Works with your existing logo and brand
  • Timing agreed in your written quote
Enquire about a bespoke site, from £1,200 plus £49 a month hosting

Hosting, at £49 a month, covers keeping your site secure and properly maintained, fixing problems if they occur, updates, your calendar kept in sync, and small changes. Your written quote sets out the timing, exactly what's included and how to stop hosting. Nothing is payable until you've accepted it.

Not sure yet? Ask me to mock up your booking site. It's free, and you only pay if you go ahead.

How much do platform fees cost you?

On Airbnb's host-only fee, around 15% of each booking goes to the platform. On £20,000 of bookings a year, that's £3,000. Move two sliders to see your own figure, next to the cost of a Signature site.

Who does the work

I've worked in photography and design for years. I edit every photo myself and check it by hand.

Questions

Do I need new photos taken?

No. I work from the photos you already have, even phone photos. The better the original, the better the result, and the free photo shows you exactly what yours would look like.

Will better photos get me more bookings?

I can't promise a number. Your first photo is what guests see in the search results, so a brighter, truer one gives them more reason to look. Price, reviews, location and dates matter too.

Can I use the edited photos on Airbnb and Booking.com?

The property stays the same and every edit is listed next to its photo. Please check the photos are accurate, that you have permission to edit them and that they meet the booking site's current photo rules before uploading.

How quickly do I get them?

Within 1 working day of your agreed start, once payment and the authorised photos and instructions needed for your order are in place, including video.

How do I pay?

By bank transfer. First I email you a dated order summary with the price, terms and timing, and ask when you'd like me to start. After you've chosen, I send the bank details. Nothing is payable before then. There's no VAT to add.

What if I don’t like the result?

Not happy after one round of changes? You get a full refund, video included.

Is the video tour filmed?

No. It's made from your edited photos: gentle pans and zooms within each photo, with nothing added. Say it's made from photos when you post it.

How do guests book through my own site?

They pick their dates on your calendar, which stays in step with Airbnb and Booking.com, and send you a booking request. You confirm it with them directly.

What does hosting (£49 a month) cover?

Keeping your site secure and properly maintained, fixing problems if they occur, updates, your calendar kept in sync, and small changes, like new photos, prices or text. Your written quote says exactly what's included and how to stop it.

How long does a booking site take?

It depends on the site and how quickly we agree the words and photos, so I'll give you a date in your written quote rather than a promise here.

I manage several properties. Is there a plan?

Yes, one property at a time at the prices above. A monthly plan for agencies (£249 a month for up to 6 properties, photos only, with up to 30 photos per property) is not yet available to order. Tell me when it's available

Try it on one of your photos

Paste a link to your property and I'll send back one of its photos, fixed, free. There's nothing to sign up for.

This opens an email with your link. I'll confirm permission and ask for the original photo before editing. Your free photo is ready within 1 working day of receiving it.
