How much does Amazon charge for a photoshoot?
Amazon has offered imaging services to sellers in some markets, but availability and rates change and are not consistent across regions. Check Seller Central for what is currently offered on your account.
This question usually comes from sellers who have seen imaging listed somewhere in Seller Central and assumed Amazon shoots everything centrally. Amazon has run seller imaging services in some markets at various points, and what is available depends on your region, your category and sometimes your seller tier. Because that changes, any figure quoted on a blog is likely to be out of date by the time you read it. Seller Central for your own account is the only reliable answer.
The more useful question is usually what it costs to get compliant, sellable images at all, whoever shoots them. Independent studios in India price catalogue work between roughly Rs 500 and Rs 1,500 per image, and there is a detailed breakdown in our pricing guide.
One thing worth weighing beyond price. Images shot through a marketplace programme are built for that marketplace. If you also sell on Flipkart, run Meta ads, or have your own website, you generally want a shoot that produces assets for all of those at once rather than paying separately each time.
We shoot for the listing and the ads in the same session, and you get the raw frames as well as the retouched selects, so the same shoot keeps working when you need a different crop later.

What to check on Amazon before you pay anyone
Open Seller Central and look for imaging services under your account. Availability and fees depend on your region, category and seller tier, so take the current figure from Amazon rather than from a blog.
