Airbnb’s mission is to create a world where anyone can belong anywhere. In that vein, my primary role as Head of Photography is to empower my team to create impactful, beautiful imagery that sets clear expectations of our products, while authentically representing the range of people, places, and cultures present on Airbnb. I uphold and evolve the brand’s photography standards, and build scalable production programs that optimize for speed and cost efficiency, without sacrificing quality. I believe in discovery, support, and mentorship of diverse, socially conscious image makers, to produce honest and inclusive visual communications.
