As a photo studio, our pricing structure for product photography may vary depending on various factors such as the number of products to be photographed, the complexity of the shoot, and any additional services required such as styling, retouching, and post-production. Typically, we offer both hourly rates and package rates, which are tailored to meet the specific needs of our clients. Hourly rates are typically used for smaller shoots, while package rates are better suited for larger, more complex projects. Our pricing may also vary depending on the type of product to be photographed. For example, jewelry and other small items may require more detailed and intricate photography, which can affect the pricing. We believe in transparency when it comes to pricing, and we will always provide a detailed quote that outlines all costs involved in the project. This quote will include the cost of photography, any additional services required, and any applicable taxes or fees. Ultimately, our pricing is competitive and reflective of the high-quality service and deliverables that we provide. We strive to provide our clients with the best possible value for their investment and are always happy to discuss pricing and provide a quote based on their specific needs.

As a photo studio, our turnaround time for product photography may vary depending on the scope and complexity of the project. However, we always strive to deliver the final images as quickly as possible without compromising on quality. Generally, our turnaround time for product photography ranges from 1 to 2 weeks, but this may be shorter or longer depending on the number of products being photographed and the amount of retouching or editing required. We understand that our clients may have specific deadlines or launch dates for their products, and we always work closely with them to ensure that we meet their required delivery timelines. Before beginning the project, we will discuss and agree upon the timeline with the client, and we will keep them updated on the progress of the project throughout the process.

As a photo studio, we can provide a variety of file formats for the images we produce, depending on our clients' specific needs and requirements.

Typically, we provide JPEG files as they are widely supported and can be easily uploaded to online stores or websites. JPEG files are also ideal for displaying images on screens or sharing them via email or social media.

However, we can also provide other file formats, such as TIFF, PNG, and RAW files upon request. TIFF and PNG files are suitable for situations where image quality is of utmost importance, such as for printing or professional design work. RAW files, which are the unprocessed digital negatives captured by the camera, are suitable for clients who prefer to have full control over the editing process.

In addition to file formats, we can also provide images in various sizes and resolutions to accommodate our clients' specific needs.

Our goal is to provide our clients with the most suitable file formats and sizes to ensure that their images can be used effectively for their intended purposes.
