Short answer: electronics product photography at Team TSB costs Rs 500 to Rs 1,500 per image, shot at our Thane studio, and you can courier the products in from anywhere in India. Infographics are quoted separately.
Electronics usually sits in the middle to upper part of that range, and the surfaces are why. Gloss, steel and small print each need their own lighting.
Why gadgets take longer than a box of snacks
A glossy black toothbrush or a phone case reflects the softbox, the ceiling and anyone standing near the set. We spend time moving lights until the reflection sits where it helps the shape.
Steel picks up the room too. A cooker body or a chopper lid needs large, even light so it reads as clean metal.
Then there's the small print. Mode labels, button icons and the markings on a dial are part of what the buyer checks. Getting focus and clean light across the whole product often means blending more than one exposure in editing.
A white background shot is the base price
Marketplace listings start with the product on white, from a few angles. For most gadgets this is the cheapest frame in the set. Still, black products on white need extra care so the edges don't disappear, and glossy ones need the dust and fingerprints cleaned off between angles.
Styled and in-use shots cost more
A buyer wants to see the size, the attachments and what the thing actually does. That usually means one of three extra frames:
- A styled shot on a coloured set, which needs props, a built backdrop and more tries per frame - An in-use shot with a hand, which adds a hand model and a few rounds of positioning - A context shot in a kitchen or bathroom set, which needs dressing and food or accessories around the product
For an appliance like a chopper, the in-use frame is usually the one that sells. It shows the capacity, the blade and the result in one image. It is also a slower shot to get right, because the food has to fall or sit the way you want.
Accessories multiply the frame count
Gadgets rarely come alone. A hair dryer has nozzles, a toothbrush has spare heads, a cooker has a steamer tray. Each accessory can be its own frame, or it can go into a single "what's in the box" frame. Decide which before the shoot, because it changes the image count and the quote.
What else moves the number
- One model in three colours costs less per image than three different models, because the lighting carries over. - Transparent parts, like a chopper bowl or a kettle window, take longer to light cleanly. - Infographic frames for Amazon or Flipkart, with callouts for features, are design work on top of the photo. We quote them separately from the per-image photo rate. - Video of the product running is a separate job. Ask for it in the same brief so we can plan one day.

- One clean, unscratched unit per colour, with its accessories - The box, if it will appear in the listing - A list of features you want shown, in order of importance - Your marketplace image specs, if you sell on Amazon or Flipkart - Reference images for the look you want
