Still Life, Product and Cosmetic Photography
A breakdown of the current rates for all of our services
An initial note on project estimates…
We always aim to provide the most accurate and fair estimate possible for all of our services. The more information we have about your project, such as a detailed shot list and defined references, the more accurate our estimate will be. Estimates are always approximations and we only ever charge for the actual time taken on the final invoice, be that less or more than initially quoted. We always keep clients up to date on running costs throughout the project and will flag if we think we’re likely to run over - although this is rare.
Please note - our working day is eight hours from 9am - 6pm with one hour for lunch at 1pm.
Prices listed are Ex VAT.
Photography
£1500 per day
Our photography day rate includes one of our talented photographers, use of one of our studio spaces and all of the photographic equipment required. We always make the most of your booking whilst you’re here in the studio and we aim to produce as much photography as the booked time allows.
Retouching
£100 per hour
Our experienced team of specialised retouchers turn the raw captures into the final, refined imagery. Whilst we always aim to provide the most accurate initial retouching estimate possible based on our years of experience, this won’t always take into account additional client requests at later stages in the project.
Videography
£3000 per day
Moving image projects have additional crew requirements when compared to stills photography, which warrants the higher day rate. This rate includes the required crew, use of the studio space and for most shoots includes the required equipment. More complex shoots, such as slow-motion, will carry additional equipment hire fees as this requires highly-specialised lighting and camera equipment.
Editing & Colour Grading
£150 per hour
Our talented team of editors and colourists take the raw camera data and weave it into beautiful final compositions in all the various formats you might require. We use the industries leading tools including DaVinci Resolve for editing and colour grading and Adobe After Effects for animated elements, visual effects and the creation of looping cinemagraphs.
CGI
£150 per hour
Our CGI services can be the perfect compliment to a photographic shoot for elements that may be too time consuming or challenging to achieve in camera. Additionally, we undertake full CGI commissions for clients. This can include both creative work as well as product packshots. Creating an entire range of products in CGI can be an efficient alternative to photography; although we’d advise this on a case-by-case basis.
Pre-Production
£60 per hour
When required we will assign a Producer(s) to your project whose primary responsibility is to oversee and manage all aspects of the production process to ensure the successful delivery of the shoot. This includes coordinating with clients to understand their vision and requirements, developing a production plan and scheduling, hiring and managing the production team, securing locations and props, organising equipment rentals, and overseeing the budget. They will collaborate closely with our Production Team to ensure that the final product meets the client's expectations.
Assisting
£150 per day
Most photographic shoots will require one of our studio assistants to aid the photographer with everything from lighting set-ups to digital capture and styling. Where required this will be included in the quote for your project. The assistant will also be on hand to help clients with requests ranging from making drinks to organising transport and everything in between.
