The exact number of final retouched frames is always defined before the shoot, not after — it's part of what makes a price actually comparable across providers.
What moves the price within each range
Location: studio vs. on-location
A studio session with a controlled background is cheaper than one on location (a working restaurant, an outdoor space), where there are more lighting and logistics variables to coordinate.
Styling and props
Food and product that look "editorial" in professional photography almost always have styling direction behind them — someone deciding angle, texture, temperature, or product position before the camera fires.
Retouching and post-production
Professional retouching (color, cleanup, composition) is what separates a photo that looks like a generic catalog from one that looks like a brand campaign. It's real work time, not an automatic filter.
Usage license
Digital use (site, social, ads) is usually included in the base price. Use on billboards, packaging, or third-party campaigns typically requires an extended license, quoted separately.
Signs you're comparing different things
- A much lower price may not include retouching, just raw file delivery.
- Check whether the final photo count is defined or "whatever comes out of the day."
- Ask whether the license covers every channel you plan to use the images on.
