Photo shoot cost guide
What commercial photography covers
When you price photo shoot, you are really pricing the provider's time, any setup work and ongoing support. Ask each provider to itemise those pieces so the quotes line up.
Because two providers can describe the same photo shoot in different ways, ask each one to break the total into the same line items before you compare them.
Choosing a provider for commercial photography
Check any required licence with the regulator, ask to see current insurance, and get the full scope in writing before you commit.
Ask for two recent local jobs you can call, and read the written scope for what it leaves out as carefully as what it includes.
The things that move a commercial photography price
The scope, the provider's track record, the deadline and whether the work is a one-off or an ongoing retainer.
Geography plays a part as well. Remote markets tend to add travel time, while crowded cities add access, parking and permit costs.
Ways to keep commercial photography costs down
Gather two or three written quotes, compare the individual lines rather than the total, and ask whether paying in full lowers the price.
When the work can be scheduled, moving it out of the busiest season usually lowers the bill. Ask whether a bundle or off-peak rate exists.
