I had a professional photographer contact me wanting to stay at our place in exchange for their photography services. Is that even allowed by Airbnb?

@Linda3895 It has nothing to do with Airbnb , if you wish to do this on your personal time then its up to you... H

Hello @Linda3895

 

Hope all is well with you.  Collaborations with professional photographer in exchange for free stays can be worth it if the photographer’s work is excellent, do due diligence.  I had potential guest who offered the same for free stay, I asked for his portfolio and to book 1 night and willing to give him free additional night but did not proceed. Best of luck Linda

Maybe turn it around and say you can book, pay the normal price, do your photos and I'd be happy to purchase the ones I want. Sounds like someone looking for a free stay to me.

Who owns the place is who should be deciding if its worth it.

Personally I wouldn't @Linda3895 

 

If you need professional photographer then book a local photographer and have a contract with them .

 

Unfortunately lots of photographers and so called influencers look for free stays
