PRICING
What it costsProjects typically start at $750, or 10 SKUs for packshot work.
That’s the floor, not a rate card. What you’ll actually pay depends on the product, the volume and which of the two ways of working below fits your project — send us your list and we’ll quote it properly.
Two ways to work
Send it in. Ship your samples to our Toronto studio. We shoot one first, you approve the look, then we run the rest to match. You’re never on set. Priced per image, scaled to how complex the product is — a flat packshot and a structured bag with interior and hardware detail aren’t the same job. See how it works →
Come shoot it with us. You’re in the studio, art-directing in real time over a tethered feed. Casting, styling and locations locked in pre-production. Priced per day. This is the model for editorial, campaign work and anything where the creative direction is the point.
Neither one is cheaper by default — they’re priced differently because they’re different jobs. A catalog manager with a long SKU list and a deadline wants the first. A brand lead shooting a campaign wants the second.
What moves the number
- Volume. Higher SKU counts bring the per-image cost down — this is where most catalog and e-commerce budgets land.
- Complexity. A flat product on white is a simpler shot than a bag that needs interior, capacity and hardware angles, or a garment going on a model.
- Format. On-model, flat lay, hanger and ghost mannequin are different amounts of studio time.
- Retouch. One round is included on every job — colour, crop, cleanup, background, file naming. Reshoots for restyling are quoted separately from that.
Every price includes unlimited usage rights
Every quote covers full, unlimited usage rights to the finished images — web, print, social, paid media, wholesale, in perpetuity, with no extra licensing fees to renew or track. We retain copyright and the right to show the work in our own portfolio. There’s no per-channel or per-year licence sitting behind the number you’re quoted.
How a quote actually works
Send your SKU list, line sheet or mood board and tell us the deadline. We come back within 48 hours with a shot list, a mood deck and a budget that has no surprises in it. Nothing gets booked until you’ve seen the number.
