We match eligible Hosts with professional photographers within a 2 hour drive and offer this service at a subsidized rate of $100. On average, Hosts with pro photos see 34% more bookings! There’s no upfront cost—just $100 taken from your future payouts, which most Hosts pay off in two bookings. Our professional photographers are also campers and they have experience staging and shooting campsites, farms, and glamping structures.
After you’ve signed up for the program, a photographer will book their shoot based on your current calendar availability, which will block your calendar for one night in order to prevent campers from being present on shoot day. Please coordinate directly with the photographer to determine the window in which they will be on site to shoot. If you’re able, it can often be helpful to offer the photographer a free night camping stay the night of their shoot, since they’re often travelling far to your location. However, that is optional and is up to you to offer or not.
The shoot will likely last an hour or two and you can expect the photographer to stage the site like a camper, and they might bring a friend to act as a model.
After the shoot, 15 minimum photos will be uploaded to your Hipcamp and curated by our team. At that point, we will deduct $100 out of your next payout. Now you can use these photos to promote your Hipcamp on social media, and watch the bookings roll in!
