"5.6 Airbnb may offer Hosts the option of having professional photographers take photographs of their Host Services, which are made available by the photographer to Hosts to include in their Listings with or without a watermark or tag bearing the words "Airbnb.com Verified Photo" or similar wording ("Verified Images"). You are responsible for ensuring that your Host Service is accurately represented in the Verified Images and you will stop using the Verified Images on or through the Airbnb Platform if they no longer accurately represent your Listing, if you stop hosting the Host Service featured, or if your Airbnb Account is terminated or suspended for any reason. You acknowledge and agree that Airbnb shall have the right to use any Verified Images in accordance with Section 5.5 for advertising, marketing or publicity purposes, including limited use by permitted third parties, in any media or platform. Where Airbnb is not the exclusive owner of Verified Images, by using such Verified Images on or through the Airbnb Platform, you grant to Airbnb an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual (or for the term of the protection), sub-licensable and transferable license to use such Verified Images for advertising, marketing or publicity purposes in any media or platform. Airbnb in turn grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, revocable, non-transferable license to use Verified Images outside of the Airbnb Platform solely for your personal and non-commercial use."
So any hosts with privacy concerns should be aware that once Airbnb provides an official photographer service for your listing, all those images of your home, inside and outside will remain permanent future property of not only Airbnb but also any involved third-parties for their companies' use of public advertising even after you close your listing. This is pretty permanent, subjecting the host to extreme long-term vulnerability and I would opt to continue to keep full charge of my own picture taking (which looks better anyway).

Good catch, Mabel, and that is a major reason why I suggest no host ever allow any Airbnb Photographers into their home!!
