Here are some examples of the pricing structure we work to. These are guide prices as we will assess each project on an individual basis, and offer you a quote accordingly. This should give you some idea of what to expect! If you’re working to a particular budget, please discuss it with us and we will do our best to help.
We offer discounts based on volume, and also run various savings schemes to help start-up and small businesses – our aim is not to charge as much as possible, but rather to create long-standing relationships by proving the valuable ROI that professional photography can bring. Ask us about our start-up schemes if this is of interest.
Please note that there is usually a minimum charge of 1 hour @ £150.00+VAT for all services to cover studio set-up.

Lifestyle Product Photography Prices
Lifestyle photography refers to all shots that include props, backgrounds, models if required, kitchen, home or outdoor settings. They also refer to step-by-step, or infographic images that demonstrate a product in use.
We carry a reasonably large stock of props and backgrounds in house. We are also happy to source additional items at cost where necessary, or you can provide us with these along with your products and we will include them in your images.
Lifestyle photography can be anything from a simple wooden backdrop with relevant props, to a full kitchen setting with models demonstrating your items. The ‘per image’ rate for lifestyle images is the same as our white background rates, plus we add a setup charge for creating your chosen backdrop. This setup charge is dependent upon the complexity of the set and props needed. Some lifestyle shoots require a location hire, others will be made from simple studio sets that we’ll create for your shoot.
We can vary each set slightly, altering props, tweaking angles and arrangements without further charge, so that every image is unique. For more significant changes, there may be additional setup fees. We’ll discuss your requirements in advance to offer you an accurate quotation.
Our minimum (standard) charge for creating a set is £45 which allows 30 minutes and includes the first shot in that set. The complex set charge allows for 60 mins to create the set, and includes the first shot.
For shoots that require full location sets – eg a full kitchen, bathroom or outdoor setup, we usually have a minimum charge of £375.00 + VAT.
| Set creation (including lighting) | Setup Fee | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Small Lifestyle set | from £45.00 | ||
| Medium Lifestyle set | from £60.00 | ||
| Small Room Set | from £95.00 | ||
| Large Room Set | from £150.00 |
Please note above prices do not include VAT which is charged at the standard rate.

Model Fees
For many products, you don’t need the high cost of hiring a professional model (usually where no faces are involved). We can offer ‘everyday’ models at a fraction of the cost of professionals, from £25 p/h.
For those jobs that need a bit more experience, we can offer semi-professionals, often acting extras, or those that model part time, with costs beginning at £35 p/h.
For professional models, we’ll send you a contact sheet from our local model agency, with costs starting at around £50.00 p/h (usually with a minimum 2 hour booking).
