How much does product photography cost in Bangalore?
Expect Rs 500 to Rs 1,500 per product. Complexity, time on set and package size decide where you sit in that range.
Bangalore has the widest quote spread of any city we get asked about, and there is a reason for it. The city has a strong food and lifestyle photography scene serving well funded D2C brands, and those studios quote day rates that can run from Rs 80,000 to over a lakh for a single day with styling, props and a food stylist included. That is a real service and worth the money for the right brief.
It is also a completely different product from a catalogue shoot. If you need forty SKUs on white for a marketplace listing, a campaign day rate is the wrong tool, and you will pay several times what the job needs.
Work out which of the two you actually need before you compare prices. Catalogue and campaign are priced on different logic, and most confusion about photography pricing in Bangalore comes from comparing one against the other.
We shoot for Bangalore brands out of our Thane studio on a courier-in basis. Five to seven days from arrival, retouched selects plus the raw frames.
What moves the price
- Whether you need catalogue work or campaign work. This decides the price more than anything else on this list.
- Styling and props, which is where campaign budgets go.
- Product complexity, and how long it takes to get a clean shot.
- Angle count per product, and the volume in the batch.
