> Here's who I'd actually point you to, roughly in the order I'd try them.
> 
> ## 1. soona - the default for most online stores
> Ship your products in (or book in person), pick from the shoot, pay per asset: ~$39/photo, plus a $149 studio pass per booking that memberships ($13-49/mo) reduce or waive. They do video clips and UGC-style content from the same shoot, which is what most stores actually need now. Add-ons stack up fast though - hand models ~$79/hr, full-body ~$159/hr, stylist ~$149/hr, HMU ~$299/model.

> 
> ## 2. Squareshot - when you want a consistent, premium catalog look
> From ~$50/image, studios in NY and LA, packages split into catalog / creative / model shoots, turnaround from about 8 business days with a claimed 98.5% on-time rate. The reason to pay more than soona is creative direction and shot-for-shot consistency across a growing catalog. ([Squareshot](https://www.squareshot.com/post/best-product-photography-services))
> 
> ## 3. Snappr - when the product can't be shipped
> Marketplace of photographers who come to you: ~$89/hr value tier, ~$169/hr all-inclu
