Catalogue images or a campaign set?

For catalogue and shop images, identify the required views, background and crop for each product variant. Note whether a label, texture or included accessory needs a close view. For a campaign, add the audience, message, setting and intended layouts. Styling, props, models and locations need an agreed scope.

A website banner, a square product tile and a vertical social post may need different compositions. Include those placements in the brief so the image plan covers the intended crops.

What changes a product photography quote?

Product count and final image count are separate. Five products with four agreed views each need twenty final images before extra crops or campaign scenes. This is a planning example, not a package or price.

The quote also depends on surface reflections, styling, set changes, sample preparation, retouching and licensing. Tell us the budget range and the required delivery date. We agree the work after reviewing those inputs; there is no universal per-product price on this page.

Samples, approvals and delivery

Before the shoot, agree the sample list, location, delivery and return responsibilities. Flag fragile surfaces, prototypes and any feature that is not final. Name who can approve product accuracy and visual direction, and decide when they will review the first images.

The quote defines selected-image delivery, colour and crop requirements, revision rounds and permitted uses. RAW files, source files and extra versions are included only when stated. Retouching should not imply a product feature or finish that the sample does not have.
