What is the price of one product photo - Packshot?
There is a price of 5 EUR or 10 EUR in the price list but my order was priced differently, why?

We approach the valuation of each order individually and the amounts given in the price list are indicative. The final price quote for each type of photo includes various factors, such as:

• How meny of products to be photographed in one batch delivered to us and how meny of shots to be taken for each of the products. For more photos / shots for the product - the price for each photo is more attractive
• Type of material / coating - the products are made of (plastic, metal, glass, fabric, leather) - each material requires appropriate preparation (ironing, smoothing)
• Purpose / operation of photos (Internet, Print) - it involves the appropriate selection of resolution for photos and dedicated retouching - in the case of printing, graphic processing is more precise, advanced and time-consuming. Standard resolution for WEB is 2600px, for printing 3600px or 4500px.

• Order processing time - also affects the price - standard order processing time is about 3 - 10 business days, but it is also possible to order a session with express service for an additional fee (determined individually) - where the implementation takes 48 hours or even 24 hours.

Valuations are always given in net amounts and the current tax should be added to them.

The minimum order is 200 EUR. Below this amount, there is a "studio" surcharge in the amount of 50 EUR- for small-size products and 75 EUR for large-size products.

What is the difference between the Economy and Premium packages?

For each valuation - we offer our clients two price options: Economy and Premium. The variants differ mainly in the method of preparing the photo and the subsequent post-production process. What exactly is the difference between the two packages?

• The Economy variant differs from the Premium variant mainly in the level of complexity of computer retouching. As the name suggests - the economic package is associated with basic computer processing, while the premium package with an advanced photo post-production process (the so-called high end retouch).
• Przygotowanie produktu do sesji: w obu wariantach produkty są przygotowywane do sesji z należytą dbałością i profesjonalizmem. W wariancie premium dodatkowo czyścimy i wygładzamy materiał produktów.
• Equipment, with which the photos are taken: We always take photos for the premium package on high-quality equipment Canon , model 5D mark IV

• Save files: Economic standard photos - are mainly used for the Internet (online stores, auction portals such as Allegro / Amazon / Ebay) - where high resolution is not required.

Does everyone have the option to take a free trial photo?

Of course, the free trial session is non-binding and available to every customer. The session consists in taking a product photo: Packshot, Ghost or jewelry - for one of the products in order to present a high-quality service and the possibility of setting certain standards, such as choosing the right perspective for the product or indicating the level of retouching advancement. In case of resignation from the service at this stage - you do not bear any costs. If cooperation is established and the order in question is implemented, the photo taken during the trial session is subject to the standard purchase according to the quotation provided.

The trial session is available for product photos, jewelery photos and photos of clothing on an invisible ghost mannequin. We do not make free trial photos for arranged (advertising), culinary, business, architecture and model photos.

More information on our free trial session is available at the link below.
