Are you ready to elevate your brand with stunning product photos? Great! The first step to a successful shoot is getting a clear and accurate quote. To make sure I can give you the most precise pricing and timeline, I need a little information about your project.

Providing these details upfront helps me understand your vision and avoid any surprises. This guide will walk you through exactly what to include in your inquiry so we can get started quickly.

1. What Are We Photographing?

Please provide a list of the products you need photographed. The more details, the better!

Product Names & Descriptions: A simple list of the items (e.g., "Lavender Candle," "Gold Pendant Necklace," "Men's Leather Wallet").
Quantity: The total number of unique products.
Dimensions & Weight: This is especially important for very small, very large, or heavy items. Knowing this helps me prepare the right lighting and studio space.

2. How Many Photos Do You Need?

This is a key factor in determining the quote. Are you looking for one simple shot per product or a whole collection of images?

Number of Shots Per Product: For example, "3 photos per product: one hero shot, one flat lay, and one detail shot."
Total Number of Final Images: If you know the exact number of images you want, that's perfect. For example, "I need a total of 50 final, edited photos."

3. What Style Are We Shooting?

The creative vision for the shoot will heavily influence the cost. Different styles require different setups, props, and time.

White Background / E-commerce Shots: These are clean, simple photos typically used for product listings on websites like Amazon or Etsy.
Creative / Styled Shots: These photos tell a story and often include props, specific lighting, and unique backdrops. This is where you can share your creative vision.
Lifestyle Shots: These images feature your products in a real-world setting, often with models. If you need lifestyle photos, please let me know if you will be providing the models or if you would like me to help with casting.

4. Where Will the Photos Be Used?

This helps me understand the licensing requirements and the file formats you'll need.

Web Only: For your website and social media.
Print & Advertising: For marketing materials, billboards, or print catalogs.
Full Buyout: If you need full, unlimited usage rights for the images.

5. Your Budget & Timeline

It's helpful to know if you have a specific budget or deadline in mind. This allows me to tailor a package that works for you. If your budget is tight, we can prioritize the most important shots. If you have a firm deadline, please let me know so I can check my availability.

How to Send It All to Me

To get the most accurate quote, please send me a detailed email unplannedmomentsproduction@gmail.com or whatapps +6011 6151 8902 with the information above.

Bonus Tip: The best way to show me your vision is to create a mood board or share a few links to photos you love. This helps us get on the same page creatively and ensures the final photos are exactly what you're looking for.

I look forward to working with you!
