Typical jobs and what they go for
| Job | Typical price |
|---|---|
| Product shots, ten items | £80 to £160 |
| Property photos, two-bed flat | £120 to £200 |
| Full day with edited gallery | £320 to £400 |
What changes the price for photography & video
- Time on site and editing time. Editing usually takes as long as the shoot. A full day of event cover can mean a day or more of editing after.
- Use of the images. Personal use is the base price. Advertising and commercial use is often licensed separately.
- Equipment and extras. Studio lighting, a backdrop, video or drone shots each add to the quote. Drone flying needs CAA registration.
- Travel and location. A shoot at the photographer's own setup is cheaper than travel to your site with all the kit.
What is usually included
- The shoot for the agreed time
- Basic editing of the selected images
- A download gallery of the finals
And what is usually not
- Prints and albums
- Heavy retouching or background removal, unless agreed
- Video, unless booked
- Venue or location fees
The one thing that saves the most money
Write a shot list and agree the number of edited images and the use you need before booking. Photographers keep copyright by default in the UK, so a clear licence in the task avoids paying again later.

What makes photography more expensive?
Size and access are the two biggest factors, followed by urgency. Same-day and weekend work carries a premium, and anything above ground-floor level or requiring specialist equipment costs more. Materials, waste disposal and parking are often quoted separately, so check what is included.
How do I get an accurate price?
Post the job with photos, measurements and access details, and you will get fixed-price offers rather than estimates. Posting is free and there is no booking fee, so comparing three or four offers costs you nothing.
Should I pay per hour or a fixed price?
A fixed price for the whole job puts the risk of it overrunning on the tasker rather than on you. That is why every offer on Taskerama is a fixed total.
