Commercial photography and media services exclusively for holiday rental property owners, rental managers, and real estate agents in the Algarve. No weddings. No portraits. Just property, done properly.
The difference between an average listing and one that generates constant enquiries is almost always the photography.
I don't use standard single-exposure photography or over-processed HDR. Instead, each image is carefully constructed from multiple exposure layers — combining natural ambient light with positioned studio flash — to produce photographs with genuine depth, balanced exposure, and the kind of impact that stops a potential renter or buyer scrolling.
Whether you have a studio apartment or a six-bedroom villa, your property deserves to be shown at its very best.
Video is increasingly the deciding factor for high-value holiday rentals and real estate sales.
A smooth, professionally produced walkthrough video gives potential renters and buyers the spatial understanding that photographs alone cannot provide. Combined with drone footage, it's the most compelling marketing asset your property can have.
Shaky phone video with auto-exposure flickering conveys the opposite of a premium property experience. Professional videography signals quality before anyone has even read a word of your listing.
All prices are for properties within the Eastern Algarve. Additional travel supplement applies for Western Algarve and beyond. Prices exclude VAT where applicable.
For property managers with multiple units, monthly retainer packages start from €350/month and include regular shoots, a library of seasonal content, and image licensing. Contact me to discuss your requirements.
I have an extensive library of travel and lifestyle photography covering the Algarve and wider Portugal — ideal for tourism boards, travel agencies, accommodation directories, and regional marketing. Licence individual images or collections for your specific marketing and social media use.

My base is in the Eastern Algarve and I cover the full Eastern region without travel supplements. For properties west of Faro, a small travel supplement applies. Contact me with your location and I'll give you a precise quote.
No. I focus exclusively on holiday rentals and real estate photography. This specialisation means I understand exactly what property owners and agents need, and I've refined my technique specifically for architectural and interior photography.
A standard property shoot (Essential package) takes around 2–3 hours. A Professional shoot with drone and dusk shots typically takes a half-day, with the drone flight and dusk shots scheduled for the optimal time of day. The Complete package may span a full day.
HDR blends multiple exposures automatically and typically produces an over-processed, unnatural look with halo effects and false colours. My technique manually layers exposures and combines studio flash with ambient light, producing a result that looks natural and inviting — not like a heavily processed image. The goal is to show the property at its genuine best, not to artificially enhance it.
Interior shoots can proceed in any weather — in fact overcast light is often preferable for interior photography. If you've booked a package that includes exterior drone shots, we'll reschedule those specific elements for a clear day at no extra charge.
Yes. All packages include full commercial usage rights for your own marketing across any platform — listing sites, your own website, social media, print. The images remain the intellectual property of Michael Fallows Photography, but you have a perpetual licence to use them for your property marketing.
Images are delivered to your personal client gallery via the Client Login area. You can download individual images or the entire set in both high-resolution (for print and large screens) and web-optimised versions (for fast website loading). Your gallery is available for 12 months.
"Michael photographed our new apartment in Manta Rota and the results were exceptional. The images are being used across our website and social media and we've had really positive feedback from potential renters."
"We use Michael for all our managed properties. The consistency and quality of his work means our entire portfolio looks professional and cohesive. Turnaround is always within 48 hours."
"As a real estate agent, I need listing photos that sell the property in the first glance. Michael's work consistently achieves that. Properties photographed by him sell faster — it's measurable."
Website & Social Media Packages
More direct bookings. Less commission to Airbnb and Booking.com.
The holiday rentals market increasingly rewards owners who build their own audience. A consistent, high-quality social media presence means potential guests discover and follow you directly — and book without paying platform commission.
I provide photography and content packages tailored to your property, your target audience, and your budget. Whether you manage one property or twenty, the same principle applies: quality content consistently published outperforms paid advertising.
