If you only need plain packshots on white for a marketplace listing, book a product studio. At AED 35 to 150 an image it is cheaper than any campaign pack and exact by definition.
Frames is cheaper when the brief includes scenes, models, locations or more than one look. That is where a traditional shoot adds up fastest, and where AI saves the most. See pricing for what each pack includes.
Fixed prices, the same on every page. A Drop covers one product in one look. A Campaign covers up to three products or three scenes.

About AED 35 to 150 for a packshot on white and AED 200 to 550 for a styled lifestyle image, before models and locations. Jewellery and watches run higher because of retouching.
Most food photographers quote AED 2,500 to 6,000 for a shoot day, plus a food stylist. A menu of 20 dishes is usually one or two days.
A one day campaign with one model, a stylist and a studio or location usually lands between AED 12,000 and 25,000, with model usage licensed separately.
For 50 campaign images across three scenes, expect AED 12,000 or more for a shoot and AED 7,500 for a Frames Campaign pack, with models, locations and a perpetual licence included.
No. The price covers the images, the crops, two revision rounds and the licence. Extra images or a rush delivery are quoted before you pay.
