Pricing

What it costs, and what moves the number.

Most studios make you ask. We publish the bands, because a rate you have to request is a rate that changes depending on who is asking. Ours does not.

Bands, not fixed prices. Where you land inside a band is set by complexity, monthly volume and turnaround — nothing else. Your exact figure is confirmed after the free test, not before.

What moves it

Three things, and only three.

How much work each image needs

A clean pack shot on white and a jewellery hero with a reflection to rebuild are not the same job. Complexity sets the floor.

How many you send a month

Volume earns a lower rate because it lets us hold a named team on your account instead of rebuilding context every batch. Steady beats large.

How fast you need them back

Standard is 24 to 48 hours and carries no premium. Same-day work reorders a shift, and that is the only thing we charge extra for.

Before you commit

Five images, retouched free, in six hours.

No card, no contract, no call first. Send five of your own files and we return them finished, so you judge our edges and colour on your products rather than ours. The quote follows the test, so both sides are pricing the same thing.

If you are running fewer than 500 images a month, we are probably not the right studio for you — and there are good ones who will serve you better at that size. We are built for catalogue volume.

Questions

Straight answers.

Why do you publish rates when most studios do not?

Because a rate you have to ask for is a rate that changes depending on who is asking. Ours does not. The band you see is the band you get, and the exact figure inside it is set by complexity and monthly volume.

What decides where in the band we land?

Three things: how much work each image needs, how many you send a month, and how fast you need them back. Nothing else.

Is the free test really free?

Yes. Five of your own images, finished and returned within six hours. No card, no contract, no call first.

Do you charge for revisions?

No. If a batch comes back against the agreed specification, we fix it and we fix the specification so it does not recur.
