    2. Squareshot model: $2,950/Half day (4 hours), $5,950/Full day (8 hours)

  4. Extra time for daily-rate projects:

    You can book any of our proposed shoot duration and extend them at hourly rates:

    3. Model: $575-950/hour depending on the model type and source (check all the options here)

Daily-rate process. What's new:

  1. On-shoot approval is available only for Model projects for per-image services and all daily-rate projects:

    Being present at the shoot is a great way to influence the result and implement changes on the go. That is exactly the goal of our daily-rate projects. You book a certain duration of the studio shoot, and we work together to get the results you envision.

  2. Turnaround time for daily-rate projects is 4 business days after the shoot day (or images selection) for up to 40 images:

    If the selection is done on a different day after the shoot, the turnaround time starts after the Squareshot Team receives the images for post-production. For faster deadline options, check our new add-on Retouching speed.

Effective Date: February 14, 2025.

This is when the changes described in this section will officially take effect.

How it affects you:

  • Our per-image approach will no longer have on-shoot approval options, making them more time-reliable and your go-to solution for projects with no need to impact the shoot.

    No worries, you will be able to check the final images and if necessary apply our revision policy into action.

  • ​If you have a project where a few SKUs should be approved before starting the full scope of work, we will split the order into 2 parts. How it works:

    1. The 1st order will include all the SKUs you need to check. It will be processed as our usual per-image project and include a free Rush delivery speed.

    2. The 2nd order will include the rest of the SKUs. It will be processed as our usual per-image project followed by the chosen delivery speed.

  • Our Catalog and Creative daily shoots include Quarter- and Half-day options for projects with a scope of work that doesn't fit a full studio day. Our team will help you define the exact number of hours required for your brief.

  • All projects and briefs created before the Effective Date will be processed within the discussed arrangements.
