If you're planning a brand photoshoot, one of the first questions you'll likely ask is: How much does a photoshoot cost?
The reality is that every photoshoot is different. While many photographers offer fixed pricing, the cost of a professional brand photoshoot depends on a variety of factors, including planning, location, models, props, production requirements, and post-production editing.
At Future Proof, our full-day photoshoots start from £1,200, and half-day shoots start from £650. However, every project is tailored to suit the unique needs of your brand and campaign goals.
What Affects the Cost of a Photoshoot?
There are several factors that influence photoshoot pricing. Understanding these elements can help us to collaborate on a package that works for you.
Pre-Production Planning
A successful photoshoot starts long before the camera comes out.
At Future Proof, we offer pre-production support on every project, regardless of size. This planning phase ensures that every detail is organised and that the shoot runs efficiently.
Pre-production services may include:
Creative planning and concept development
Prop sourcing and organisation
Location scouting
Model sourcing
Shot list creation
Production scheduling
The more preparation that goes into a shoot, the smoother the production day will be and the stronger the final content will be.
Prop Sourcing for Product and Brand Photography
Props can play a huge role in bringing your brand story to life.
Our team can source and order props specifically for your shoot, with deliveries sent directly to our studio for storage ahead of the production date. This removes the stress of coordinating multiple suppliers and ensures everything is ready when you arrive.
Whether you're creating lifestyle content, product photography, or campaign imagery, carefully selected props help elevate the final result.
Location Scouting
Choosing the right location can completely transform the look and feel of your content.
Whether you're looking for a modern café, a countryside setting, a retail environment, or an outdoor adventure location, our team can help source and secure the perfect backdrop for your shoot.
Professional location scouting ensures your content aligns with your brand identity while creating a visually engaging experience for your audience.
Model Sourcing and Casting
Finding the right people to represent your brand is an important part of the creative process.
Our team can source models through agencies, freelance networks, and industry contacts to suit a range of budgets and campaign requirements.
We work closely with clients to ensure the selected talent reflects their target audience, brand values, and overall creative vision.
What Happens on the Photoshoot Day?
On shoot day, our team provides hands-on support from start to finish.
We guide the creative process, manage logistics, and ensure every shot is captured efficiently. For larger productions, we can also provide additional crew members and support services to help everything run smoothly.
Additional services may include:
Production assistants and runners
Behind-the-scenes content creation
Social media coverage
Additional photographers or videographers
Creative direction support
We also offer in-house hand modelling services, allowing us to quickly capture product-focused content without the need for additional talent bookings.
Post-Production and Content Editing
Post-production is where your content is refined and prepared for your use.
All of our photography packages include standard editing to ensure your images and videos are polished and professional.
For brands requiring advanced retouching, colour grading, campaign assets, or longer-form video editing, additional post-production services can be added to your package.
Professional editing helps maintain consistency across your content and ensures your brand looks its best across websites, social media, email marketing, and advertising campaigns.
Why Every Brand Photoshoot Is Different
No two brands are the same, which means no two photoshoots are the same.
The final cost of a photoshoot will depend on factors such as:
Shoot duration
Location requirements
Number of models
Prop sourcing
Production crew requirements
Content deliverables
Editing requirements
This is why we create bespoke quotes that are tailored specifically to your objectives, budget, and content needs.
Content Creation Subscription Packages
For brands looking for consistent content throughout the year, we also offer content creation subscription packages.
Regular shoots allow us to build a deeper understanding of your business, helping us create a recognisable visual identity and maintain consistency across all of your marketing channels.
Benefits of a content subscription include:
Consistent branded content
Stronger visual identity
Better social media performance
Reduced planning time
Discounted monthly rates
By working together on an ongoing basis, we can help shape and strengthen your brand while ensuring you always have fresh content ready to use.
