## The answer, as recorded

> Searched - here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd try them.

> **1. [soona](https://soona.co/product-photography)** - My first call for most shops. You mail products in, direct the shoot over a live video call, then pick and pay only for the images you keep (~$39/photo, plus a studio pass fee per booking). Turnaround as fast as 24 hours, and you get stills + video/UGC-style clips from one session. Best fit if you want speed and want to see the shots before committing.
> 
> **2. [Squareshot](https://www.squareshot.com/)** - Brooklyn/LA studio with flat per-image pricing (~$50, retouching included, no studio-pass stacking) and membership plans with no order minimum. Standard delivery runs about 6-8 days with a 3-4 day rush. Strongest on apparel and footwear specifically - ghost mannequin / invisible mannequin work, which soona handles less well. Fair warning: the head-to-head numbers above come partly from [Squareshot's own comparison post](https://www.squareshot.com/post/best-product-photography-services), so treat their framing of competitors as marketing and confirm current rates directly.
