Premium product photography pricing
If you’re here, you want clarity. This page explains my premium product photography pricing, what each package includes, and the variables that change a quote (without the usual confusion and scope creep).
I work with brands and agencies who value consistency, material accuracy and a commercial finish. If you only want “cheap per photo”, we will probably not be a fit.
Important note: If you’re looking for high-volume, white background e-commerce photography, go directly to my e-commerce rates. If you need on-location lifestyle photography, see my lifestyle rates.
Who this is for
This premium product photography service is designed for businesses that need images that truly reflect the quality of their products. It’s not a quick fix or a generic solution: it’s for brands that pay attention to detail, their storytelling, and how they present themselves to the world.
This premium product photography pricing page is for you if:
- You’re launching a product and need images that communicate instantly.
- You want a premium catalogue that looks consistent across the entire range.
- You need images for website, campaigns, marketplaces or brand assets.
- Your products are reflective, curved, transparent or simply “hard to light”.
It’s not for you if:
- You want an unlimited list of photos without defining scope.
- You want industrial-volume output at minimum cost per image.
- You want “urgent” without paying for real production time.
What drives premium product photography pricing
A quote for premium product photography is not just about the number of files. It’s driven by:
- Product complexity (material, size, curvature, level of reflection).
- Image type (hero shot, packshot, macro/detail, still life).
- Art direction (whether the style needs to be designed with you or is already defined).
- Number of final views (angles and deliverable details).
- Deadlines and logistics (shipping, returns, travel if applicable).
- Deliverables (web/networks vs print, TIFF/CMYK, specific cutouts).
This is why premium product photography pricing needs a clear system.
It is very important that before requesting a quote you read this entire page, so we avoid wasting time and energy.
Standard minimum
- From €1,000 + VAT
That minimum exists for a reason: premium quality requires controlled lighting, reflections management, consistent retouching and a proper workflow.
Launch Starter (pilot)
- From €750 + VAT, only if:
scope is fully closed and agreed in writing,
you confirm the booking within 48 hours, and
there is a clear continuity path (upcoming launches / catalogue expansion).
How I count quantities, so there’s no confusion
Final view (deliverable)
A final view is one delivered, approved image: an angle, a macro/detail, packaging, texture, logo detail, etc.
SKU
A SKU is a product/reference/colour/variant. If the product changes, it counts as a new SKU.
This method is the most transparent way to keep premium product photography pricing fair and predictable.
Packages and indicative pricing

What’s included in my Premium product photography pricing
Every package is built around a premium, reliable process (not industrial e-commerce output).

Goals and usage (catalogue, launch, ads, marketplace, branding).
References and alignment on the look (if you don’t have one, we define it).
Shoot and technical control
Lighting set-up tailored to your materials.
Reflections control (wanted vs unwanted reflections).
Product readability: volume, edges, transparency, finish.
Premium retouching and consistency
Dust and marks clean-up, coherent finish across the set.
Alignment and consistency so your catalogue doesn’t look “mixed”.

FAQ
How much does premium product photography cost?
It depends on complexity, usage and the number of final views. As a reference, premium product photography pricing starts from €1,000 + VAT. A controlled pilot can start from €750 + VAT with strict scope.
Do you charge per photo?
For premium work, the base model is not “per random photo”. I price by project scope and final views so the outcome stays consistent and the agreement stays clear.
What if I need more images than the package includes?
We extend the package with an agreed add-on block or move to a custom quote. Nothing is added “informally”.
Where do you work?
I’m based in Estepona (Málaga). I work with shipped products and can travel when needed (quoted by scope).
What about usage rights?
Standard usage is agreed in writing. Broad exclusivity or large-scale campaigns can be priced separately.
If you want consistent, commercial results and a clear process, this premium product photography pricing page should give you what you need to decide.
