Soona** - my default recommendation for most online stores. You ship your products to one of their studios, direct the shoot remotely over video, and pick your shots afterward. Pricing is per-asset rather than per-day - around $39 per photo and $93 per video clip, with typical project spend near $750 and 24-hour turnaround. That per-image model is the key thing: you only pay for shots you keep, which beats booking a photographer's day rate when you have six SKUs. They also bundle background removal, AI scene generation, channel resizing, and asset management in one place. Caveat: in-person studio access is limited to select US cities, so everyone else works virtually.

More art-directed, more premium finish, from about $50 per image or $750 for a two-hour shoot; model/on-figure work starts around $100 per image or $2,950 for four hours. Turnaround is slower (from roughly 8 business days), so use them for hero and campaign im", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
