The short answer: Kanyon Studio prices San Diego product photography flat by the day: $395 for a half day, $795 for a full day, or a multi-day campaign quoted flat. Retouching, web and social licensing, and one round of revisions are included in every package. There is no hourly meter, no per-image surprise, and the quote comes back within 24 hours.
San Diego product photography pricing in 2026
Product photographers generally price one of three ways: by the hour, by the finished image, or as a flat project. Kanyon Studio uses the third, with the day rate fixed up front, because it is the only model where the brand knows the exact total before the shoot and the photographer is rewarded for efficiency rather than for time.
The three packages
Half day: $395
A half day, one setup. One product line on white background plus a handful of styled shots. Right for a first Shopify launch, an Amazon listing refresh, or a single hero product.
Full day: $795
A full day, studio plus one San Diego location such as a beach, trail, or urban backdrop. E-commerce sets, lifestyle frames, and social crops for a 5 to 15 SKU collection. This is where most brand projects land.
Multi-day campaign: quoted flat
A full catalog or seasonal campaign set: multiple setups, lifestyle and detail coverage, and deliverables sized for web, Amazon, social, and ads. Larger campaigns with models, multiple days, or multiple locations are quoted individually.
What is included in every package
- Shot-list planning and prop styling
- Shooting in studio or on location anywhere in San Diego County, no travel surcharge
- Professional retouching and color correction
- One round of revisions
- Web-optimized delivery in every crop you need
- Web and social licensing; paid ads, print, and packaging usage quoted transparently up front
- Proofs in 48 hours, finished files inside a week
What moves the price
- Shoot length is the only variable in the base price. A half day covers one setup; a full day covers multiple setups or a second location.
- Models add talent fees, typically a few hundred dollars per day locally, passed through at cost.
- Extended licensing for paid ads, print, or packaging is quoted alongside the package.
- Multi-day campaigns are quoted flat once the shot list is defined.
Why flat pricing
A brand doing $10,000 a month in sales that lifts conversion by even a few percent with better images recovers a $395 half day in weeks. Flat pricing means that math is knowable before you book. See the full San Diego product photography service, the complete price sheet, or book a shoot.
