The cost of food shooting

How much does a photo shoot cost?

Usually, the photographer’s work is paid for every hour of work, but batch shooting with a full and incomplete shooting day is also possible. Usually 10-15 dishes can be shot on a white or homogeneous background without props. With basic food styling 5-6. For advertising shoots or menus 2-4. But these are approximate figures and much depends on the customer’s task.
