At Squareshot, we offer 2 types of pricing for model projects:
Per-hour pricing
You can book a model shoot starting from 4 hours.
Per-hour works best when your deliverables aren’t fully defined yet or when you want flexibility on set. We also use this format for shoots that involve complex requests finalized with a mix of add-on services.
Here’s the pricing breakdown for per-hour model shoots:
Squareshot's model
Squareshot's model
Includes 1 professional model from our network.
Model type | 4 hours | 8 hours | 10 hours |
Hand/foot | $2,950.00 | $5,950.00 | $7,450.00 |
Full body | $3,700.00 | $7,450.00 | $9,450.00 |

Used if you're bringing your own model to the shoot.

Full body | $2,950.00 | $5,950.00 | $7,450.00 |
Per-image pricing
You can pay per image for your order, starting at 20 images for full-body shoots and 10 images for hand or foot model projects.
Per-image works best when you have a strict shot list with defined deliverables for each outfit / SKU.

Model type | Squareshot's model | Your model |
Hand/foot | $150.00 | $95.00 |

PER-HOUR ONLY
Raw images: You’ll receive all raw images captured during the booked time. (Note: Per-image projects include only final retouched files.)
Retouched images: Based on your booked duration, you can select a set number of images for retouching:
Half-day: 6-24 images

Extended day: 15-60 images
Prep & end time: Each per-hour shoot includes setup and teardown time (usually 1.5–2 hours) as part of the booking.
What’s not included
While our model pricing covers everything needed for standard e-commerce shoots, some requests may go beyond the usual scope. Here’s what may be added to your project as needed:
Usage rights extension: For recognizable shoots, usage includes 6 months. You can extend this to 12 months, 24 months, or in perpetuity. For special purposes like global campaigns or print, additional fees may apply and are handled case-by-case with the models.
Multiple models: Check our pricing for additional models here. If your shoot includes more than one model, additional model pricing applies. For projects with 3 or more models, we also include a multi-model management fee to account for the extra coordination and production support.
Set design: Custom props, styled surfaces, or backdrop builds are quoted as an add-on and included in the final project total.
Custom lighting setups: If your shoot requires lighting that goes beyond our standard e-commerce setups — for example, dramatic lighting, layered modifiers, or specialized effects — this may be treated as an add-on and quoted separately. We'll flag this early if it applies.
