Per product or per day?
Studios in Pakistan quote product work in two ways. Per-product pricing suits small batches and simple white-background shots. Per-day (or half-day) pricing suits larger catalogues and anything styled — and it almost always works out cheaper per product once you have more than a handful of items.
| Type of shoot | Typical price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| White background, per product | 500 – 1,500 | 3–5 edited images per product, marketplace-ready |
| Styled or lifestyle, per product | 1,500 – 3,500 | Props, surfaces, more retouching |
| Half-day studio session | 25,000 – 40,000 | Best for 10–30 products |
| Full-day studio session | 50,000 – 80,000 | Best for 25–50 products with alt angles |
| Campaign production | 100,000 and up | Creative direction, sets, location, multiple days |
What drives the price
- —Number of products — the single biggest factor; batching everything into one session is the cheapest way to shoot.
- —Angles per product — one hero shot versus hero plus three alt angles plus a lifestyle frame.
- —Retouching level — dust and colour correction is quick; reflective surfaces, jewellery and cosmetics take far longer.
- —Styling and props — a stylist and sourced props turn a catalogue shot into a brand image.
- —Models — on-model apparel and lifestyle shots need talent; we recruit models on demand and the model fee is additional, quoted up front.
- —Usage — catalogue images for your own store are standard; large advertising campaigns are scoped separately.

How to bring your cost per product down
- —Send a complete product list before the shoot so the studio can plan lighting set-ups in batches.
- —Group similar products — same size and finish shoot fastest together.
- —Deliver products clean, steamed and with packaging removed.
- —Agree the angles once, in writing, before the day rather than product by product.
- —Shoot the whole season in one session instead of several small ones.
Adding video
Short product videos lift listing conversion and are usually shot in the same session. Basil Studios product videography starts from PKR 35,000 for 15-second reveals of up to 5 products, or PKR 90,000 for a 30-second hero ad plus six social cuts.
