Model type plays a key role in determining both the cost of your shoot and the usage rights that apply to your final images.
Model Types
We offer three model types based on how much of the model is shown in your photos:
Hand or Foot Model
Only the model’s hands or feet are shown.
Ideal for showcasing jewelry, skincare, footwear, or handheld products.
Full-Body (Unrecognizable)
The model’s body is visible, but their face is hidden (cropped out, turned away, or obscured).
Great for clothing or accessories where identity doesn’t matter.
Full-Body (Recognizable)
The model’s entire body and face are visible in the final images.
Perfect for lifestyle campaigns where the model’s presence or expression is essential.
Includes talent usage rights.
Model Source
You can either bring your own model or have Squareshot source one for you. Rates vary based on this choice.

Usage Rights
Usage rights depend on the model type and whether their face is shown in the images.
The model type determines the duration of usage rights:
Recognizable models: Includes 6 months of usage rights at no extra cost. You can extend beyond that for an additional fee.
Unrecognizable models: Usage rights are unrestricted, just like our standard product images described here.
Usage rights restrictions apply to all recognizable models, meaning any model whose face is visible in the images. We include 6 months of usage rights at no additional cost. If you need to extend these rights beyond the initial period, you can do so for an additional fee:
Model type | Booking duration | Usage rights | Usage rights | Usage rights |
Hand/foot | Half day | $125.00 | $250.00 | $500.00 |
Hand/foot | Full day | $250.00 | $500.00 | $1,000.00 |
Full body | Half day | $187.50 | $375.00 | $750.00 |
Full body | Full day | $375.00 | $750.00 | $1,500.00 |
*In perpetuity means no timing restrictions for usage rights.
