Product Photography Price in the Philippines (2026 Guide)

By BentaShots PH · Published 24 Oct 2026 · 7 min read

If you sell on Shopee, Lazada, TikTok Shop or Facebook, your product photos do most of the selling. The question every small seller asks is: how much does product photography cost in the Philippines? Instead of guessing, we pulled the rates that real studios publish on their own websites, so you can budget for 11.11 and Pasko with actual numbers.

Quick answer: typical product photography rates in the Philippines

From the published price lists we checked (links at the bottom), the market looks like this:

Pricing model	Published example	What it usually covers
Per finalized image	From ₱500/image (Looseleaf Studio, Valenzuela); ₱550/image (MarkfrancisG Photography)	White-background e-commerce shot, basic color correction
Apparel / ghost mannequin	From ₱750/image (MarkfrancisG)	Clothing shot without a visible mannequin
Per SKU (standard items)	₱450–₱700 per SKU, up to 3 angles (Foto Machina guide)	Toys, packaged food, small electronics
Jewelry	From ₱800 per SKU (Foto Machina guide)	Reflective items needing special lighting
Small-brand catalog package	₱8,500 for up to 10 products, 3 angles each, 30 edited photos, 5-day turnaround (Jov Creative)	Studio session, white background
Session packages (Cebu)	₱15,000 for 2 hours, min. 8 items (Dodzki Studio); from ₱20,000 for 8 items (Creative Weblogic); ₱25,000 for up to 4 hours (Portraits by Bukool)	Photographer on a set schedule, edited files

Foto Machina's guide also notes a typical minimum engagement fee of around ₱5,600 for a studio shoot. So even if a per-image rate looks small, a studio project for a handful of products often lands in the ₱5,000–₱10,000 range once minimums kick in.

What changes the price

1. Number of images, not number of products

Many studios charge per image. MarkfrancisG spells this out: three products with four photos each is billed as 12 images. If you need a main photo plus 4–5 angles for each listing, the count adds up fast.

2. Product type

Reflective and detailed products (jewelry, watches, glass) cost more because they need more lighting work. Apparel costs more if you want ghost-mannequin or on-model shots. Packaged food and simple boxes are usually at the low end.

3. White background vs lifestyle

Plain white-background shots are the cheapest and are what Shopee recommends for your cover image. Styled lifestyle shots (props, scenes, seasonal themes) need set design and cost more; Jov Creative's ₱18,500 "Signature" package, for example, is where white plus lifestyle backgrounds appear.

4. Turnaround and logistics

Studio turnaround is usually days, not hours: 3–5 business days at several studios we looked at, up to 2 weeks for some session packages. Rush delivery is often an add-on. You may also need to ship your products to the studio and pay for the return.

5. Video

Most product photo rates don't include video. If you also want short vertical clips for TikTok Shop or Reels, budget separately. Video editing is usually priced as its own line item.

So what should a small seller budget?

Just starting, 1–3 products: shoot clean phone photos yourself (see our Shopee photo checklist), or use a low-cost online service.
Growing shop, 10+ SKUs, need consistency: a studio catalog package (around ₱8,500 for 10 products at published rates) gives you real photos of every angle.
Big catalog, models, or jewelry: a full studio day is worth it. Get quotes from two or three studios and compare per-image cost after minimums.

Where AI-assisted photos fit

An AI-assisted service starts from your phone photos and replaces the background, lighting and scene. It is not a replacement for a studio when you need many exact angles, detailed close-ups or models. But for a seller who needs fresh, seasonal images and a few short video ads fast, it is much cheaper than booking a set. We compare the two honestly in AI product photos vs studio shoot.

One rule matters more than price: your photos must show the real product. Whatever you choose, don't let anyone change the product's color, size, label or contents. Buyers who receive something different leave bad reviews and request returns.
