Below, you can get acquainted with the general rules of our cooperation. Feel free to contact me with any additional questions.
PRICING
PACKSHOTS
When it comes to jewelry, the price of a photo is mainly based on the level of “complexity” of the product.
The more intricate and developed are the shapes, with many diverse stones and mixed metals, the more expensive the photo will be. Additionally, an important factor affecting the price of the photo is the “technical state” of the product. Numerous scratches, chips in the metal coating, and dullness (usually invisible to the naked eye) significantly extend the retouching time and can affect the final effect.
The second component affecting the price of the photo is the expected end result. The style and scope of retouching are tailored to the client's requirements. Depending on the desired final effect, the retouching techniques I use will differ, and some might be more time-consuming than others.
That's why for each client, I prepare personalized pricing. Usually, the quote is based on trial photos.
I can also estimate the cost of the photos based on the range and type of jewelry presented (on your website or from simple shots made by phone).
ADVERTISING PHOTOGRAPHY
When it comes to advertising photos, I offer clients the following options.
Classic arranged photography
The product(s) are photographed using physical props. The choice of props, backgrounds, lighting, and photography style are agreed upon individually.
The cost of the photo depends on the number of products in the photo, the complexity of the arrangement (number of props, methods of mounting the products, etc.), and the possible need to purchase additional props that I don't have in the studio. The amount of retouching required also influences the price.
Artistic creation based on packshots
In this option, I use previously taken packshots to create advertising-style photography. The background type and added elements can be selected by the client or by me, ensuring the final effect meets the desired goals and requirements.
Many different designs can be created from a single product/product group, each design tailored to the season or occasion (Valentine's Day, Christmas, vacations, etc.).
Because I use already retouched product photos, the price depends on the time spent preparing the design.
NEW: Artistic creation based on packshot photos using AI-supported technologies
The process is similar to option 2, however, I use various AI-powered tools to create backgrounds, props, and other added elements.
This allows me to construct images in any style with virtually unlimited possibilities.
The resulting images are ideal for use on websites / online stores and in social media.
Because I use already retouched product photos, the price depends on the time spent preparing the image.
TRIAL PHOTOS
(applies only to packshots)
I offer free sample photos to every new client. This allows me to familiarize myself with the photo material and showcase my capabilities.
Based on the sample photos, I also prepare a personalized quote.
What does it look like in practice?
- You send in 3 products of your choosing.
- Together, we agree on the photography and retouch style, as well as additional requirements.
- I take photos and provide them for viewing.
- I prepare an individual price offer.
If you decide on a longer collaboration, those 3 photos are given for free.
However, if you choose to part ways and not continue with my services, you collect the products and not pay for the photos, however those cannot be used commercially.
If you do not wish to further collaborate with me, however, would like to use the trial photos in a commercial setting, those photos are then priced, and upon agreement, delivered in all formats and resolutions.
DELIVERY OF JEWELRY
Delivery and collection of products for photography are always the responsibility of the customer. From the moment the courier delivers the jewelry until collection, I take full responsibility for the products. I have appropriate insurance to cover unforeseen events.
