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 product photography cost?
Snappr charges $279 for a 2-hour product shoot, which is $140 an hour and the same price in every US city. A 15% service fee is added at checkout. Independent photographers and studios charge around $198 an hour for the same work.
How long does a product shoot take?
120 minutes on average across 288 US bookings in the last year. That is why 2 hours is the length to book.
How many photos do I get?
On All-inclusive, every edited photo from the shoot is yours with no per-photo charge, typically about 35 an hour, so roughly 70 from a 2-hour shoot. Image enhancement is included.
What is the shortest product 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 product 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: $59 on All-inclusive.
