We enjoy our work, and want to help you and your business to thrive. That’s why we provide excellent photography services at very reasonable rates. Clients wishes and needs vary, so it is best to contact us for a quote, but here are some benchmark prices to give a fair idea. These prices are based on 10 images or more.
Pricing
Standard packshot
from £12+vat
Fantastic value for this industry standard style, with no shadows or reflection; we create a clipping path, so the images can be run out on a pure white background or on transparency for overlaying
Reflection or Shadow
from £15+vat
Some subjects look better with either a reflection or a subtle shadow to ground the product
Lifestyle Product Photography
priced by time
Mood, props and styling discussed with client ahead of time, then test shots sent at the start of the shoot
Ghost mannequin: front
from £18+vat
3d styling for the front of a garment that shows some inner fabric behind the "ghost"
Ghost mannequin: back
from £15+vat
3d styling for the back of a garment is cheaper when not requiring the inner fabric view
Flat garment
from £15+vat
Flat is the best option for some types of garments
Grouped subjects
from £20+vat
Grouping adds to liaison, styling and experimentation time
Location shoots: lifestyle
from £350+VAT for half a day shoot
Shooting in a restaurant, shop or other place of work, with or without people. A half-day shoot includes the setup and shooting (approx 3–3.5hrs), plus post-production time back in the studio
Architecture and Interiors
from £600+VAT for a full day shoot
The price is for around 6 hours of shooting and post-production back in the studio. When shooting exteriors and interiors, the client is expected to prepare the site as best they can to remove unwanted clutter etc. Advanced post-production time to remove distracting elements (e.g. cables and fixed objects that can't be physically moved out of shot) is charged at £70+VAT per hour.
Prices for cut-outs are based on a minimum of 10 images per order. That might be 10 products or, for example, five products requiring two images for each. For fewer than 10 images, a higher rate will apply to help cover shooting setup and admin time. Got hundreds of products needing cut-outs? High volume discounts may apply, depending on the nature of your requirements.
Returning items
When sending items to be shot, we prefer clients to arrange delivery and pickup themselves, so that we don’t have to add extra costs for the admin time. We simply repack the products into the boxes or bags and tape them up ready for collection. You are also welcome to drop off and pick up your products in person.
Payment terms
An invoice will be issued by Blue Island Media within a few days of job completion. Payment is due immediately; we do not offer credit.
We prefer payment by BACS transfer or debit card online via a link on the invoice.
