Nowadays, everyone is shopping and searching online for places to stay on their holiday. That’s why a good or bad hotel or apartment photo can mean a sale or no sale. Websites like Airbnb and Booking even have specific quality criteria for the images uploaded there. Professional and attractive interior image helps the venue to differentiate from the competition. Accurately and thoroughly represented interior and exterior helps the clients to get an idea about the restaurant or office and increases the chance to sell the place or get it rented. Since they cannot touch or feel the interior in advance, images are the only way for the clients to check the place visually.

Interior and exterior photography is most often used by hotels, airbnb apartments, restaurants, bars, discos, factories, and other venues or locations to present its activities, to promote the company or the website.

This provides double the chance of making a sale through your website, whether you are an owner of a hotel, apartment, restaurant, office or any other business place. Interior and exterior photography also can be used in publications and promotional materials for your company.

The best location is Plovdiv, where I am based. Or the whole area including Pazardzhik district. Buildings in this region can be photographed without an additional fee for transportation. Of course, I can photograph interior and exterior throughout the whole country of Bulgaria, but this will have a small additional cost for transportation depending on the location of the building and if such transportation is not provided by the organizer.
