What that works out to per hour

Travel, setup, editing and delivery cost the same whether a shoot runs one hour or ten. The longer the shoot, the further those fixed costs spread, so the effective hourly rate falls.

Frequently asked questions

Answers before you need them.

How much does fashion photography cost?
Snappr charges $169 for a 2-hour fashion shoot on your first booking, which is $85 an hour and the same price in every US city. A 15% service fee is added at checkout. Photographers across every shoot type charge $139 to $300 an hour in the US.
How long does a fashion shoot take?
105 minutes on average across 140 US bookings in the last year. That is why 2 hours is the length to book: a shoot cannot run for 105 minutes, and of the two lengths either side, the shorter is the one that runs out on the day.
How many photos do I get?
On All-inclusive, every edited photo from the shoot is yours with no per-photo charge, typically about 75 an hour, so roughly 150 from a 2-hour shoot. Value, on a first booking, includes 12 edited photos for 2 hours, with extras at $10 each. Image enhancement is included on both.
What is the shortest fashion shoot I can book?
1 hour, up to 10. Longer shoots cost less per hour, so one long booking beats several short ones.
Does the price change by city?
No. The rate is set nationally, so a fashion shoot costs the same in New York as it does in Akron. The market figures here are US-wide averages, so local photographers may charge more or less. The first hour carries the same booking fee wherever the shoot runs: $29 on Value, $59 on All-inclusive.
