Book
a shoot.

Portraits, headshots, product, event, and environment. Shot and finished to match what your brand needs rather than a signature look we bring with us. Booking is half day, full day, or scoped by project, and the retouching is inside the price rather than a surprise afterward.

Already have the frames and only need them finished? Send us a set instead . It is priced per image.

Who this is for

  • You need headshots for a team that has grown past the one good photo everybody reuses.
  • A product line needs to be shot as a set so the store page stops looking assembled from three sources.
  • There is an event, a conference booth, or an office you need documented properly.
  • The stock photography on your site is doing your company no favors and everybody knows it.
  • You have a rebrand landing and the imagery has to arrive with it rather than six weeks later.

How it runs

01

Tell us what the pictures are for

Not what you want photographed, what the photographs have to do. A headshot for a pitch deck and a headshot for a careers page are different jobs and get lit differently.

02

Shot list before the day

We build the list together and agree what has to come back, so nobody discovers a missing frame after everyone has gone home.

03

The shoot

Half day is four hours, full day is eight. Multiple setups or locations on a full day. You are welcome on set and welcome to skip it.

04

Finishing

Color, retouching, and consistent treatment across the set. Selects come back the same week; the finished set follows within two.

What you get

  • Finished, retouched images in web and print files, named sensibly rather than by camera number.
  • A consistent grade across the whole set, so images shot hours apart still look like one shoot.
  • Commercial usage rights included. No per-placement licensing, no expiry.
  • The raw selects on request, if your team wants to work from them.
  • A repeatable setup, documented, if this is a set you will need to extend later.

What it is not

Scope boundary

Talent, wardrobe, props, and location fees are yours unless we agree otherwise up front. Travel inside two hours is included; beyond that it is quoted at cost and shown before you commit. If you need a set larger than two people can crew, we scope the crew openly rather than quietly padding the day rate.

Book a shoot

Tell us what the pictures are for and we will come back with a day, a price, and a shot list to argue with. We reply within two business days.

Prefer email? hello@ambolt.co. If we are not the right studio for this, we will say so and point you somewhere better.

How the hours work. Fixed-price engagements are scoped at a blended $100 an hour; fractional creative direction is scoped at $145 an hour, because it is senior time rather than production. The hours above are what the price is built from. We track against them and tell you where we are, and if a scope change pushes past the block we say so before the work happens rather than after.

Let's strike
while the iron
is hot.

Companies leave here looking like one company again. The same voice on the site, the deck, the ad, and the booth. Every quarter you wait is another quarter of good work going out under a brand that undersells it.
