> # Best product photography services for online stores
> 
> Here's who I'd actually name, roughly in the order I'd suggest trying them:
> 
> **1. [soona](https://soona.co/product-photography) - best default for most stores.** You ship products to their studio, join the shoot over live video to direct it, and pick only the shots you want. Pay-per-photo (~$39/image, video clips extra) with no minimum, 24-hour turnaround on some packages, and a solid Shopify app (4.6★). The live-direction model is the big differentiator - it removes the usual "pay for a shoot, get images that miss the brief" risk. Best if you want photo + video + UGC from one vendor.
> 
> **2. [Squareshot](https://www.squareshot.com/ecommerce-product-photography-service) - best when you need predictable, itemized pricing.** NYC studio, ~$25-45/photo with add-ons (ghost mannequin, on-model, flat lay) priced separately so you can see exactly what a catalog will cost before committing. 4.5★ on Trustpilot. Pick this over soona if you want strict, consistent styling across a large catalog rather than a creative session.
> 
> **3. [Shootify](https://shootify.us/ecommerce-product-photography-prices/) - cheapest credible studio entry point.**
