⚠️ Additional Costs to Consider

To keep our base rates competitive, we separate logistical costs:

  • Travel Fees: For On-Location shoots, travel to and from the venue is charged additionally.
  • Postage: For Studio (Product Delivery) shoots, you cover the cost of shipping items to us and their return.
  • Advanced Retouching: Basic colour correction is included. Complex retouching (removing elements, composite images) is charged per image.

How much time do I need?

Simple Composition

~15 mins per photo

Clean shots on a plain background or simple styling. Ideal for e-commerce, delivery apps (UberEats/Deliveroo), or documenting a large menu efficiently.

Complex Composition

~30 mins per photo

Involves elaborate props, specific lighting adjustments per dish, or "action" shots (pours, splashes). Perfect for website headers, magazine ads, or hero social media posts.

Conceptual Signature Shoots

Looking for a full advertising campaign with art direction, models, and custom set builds? These projects are quoted on a fixed-fee basis rather than hourly.

Pricing FAQs

Do you charge per photo or per hour?

We charge per hour. This allows us to be flexible. If we work efficiently and get 20 shots done in 2 hours, you get all 20 shots. We don't limit the number of photos delivered, provided they meet our quality standards.

Is a deposit required?

Yes, we typically require a deposit to secure your booking date, with the balance due upon completion of the shoot.

What about licensing fees?

Our standard rates include a license for digital and print marketing use (Social Media, Website, Menus, Flyers). If you need images for large-scale National Advertising (Billboards, TV) or Product Packaging, an additional licensing fee may apply.
