What moves the price
- Packshot or lifestyle — plain white-background product shots are quick, while styled lifestyle scenes need props and set-building
- Number of products — product photographers often price per item or per batch, so a large catalogue costs more in total
- Images per product — several angles, close-ups and a 360 spin for each product multiply the editing time
- Models and stylists — hand models, food stylists or set designers are booked and paid on top of the product shoot
- Retouching depth — removing reflections from glass and jewellery takes far longer than a basic clean-up
- Usage licence — product images used in national advertising can be licensed above images for an online shop

A small batch can be shot in a few hours, while a full catalogue or styled lifestyle shoot can take a whole studio day or more.
Under UK copyright law the photographer usually owns the images and grants you a licence. If you want to own them outright, ask for an assignment of copyright in writing, which may cost more.
Yes. Ask the product photographer to deliver versions sized for your website, each marketplace and social media, so you do not need to crop them yourself.
Props, models, stylists, 360 spins, video and courier costs are commonly charged on top of the basic product shoot price.
