High-quality photography for cars might catch the dealers off-guard. Skyrocketed prices for car photography may be out of bounds for a number of dealers. Yet, car dealers are well aware of the importance of professional car photoshoots. It helps in the brand growth and promotion to a great extent. Professional car photography prices range from 200$ – 500$ per hour. Prices may vary depending on the experience of the photographer.

The price of car photography depends on the type of photographer you are choosing for advertising your brand. I will list down the types of photography based on the varying prices:

  • Amateur photographer: 

    An amateur photographer charges up to $25- $100 for an hour. Amateur photographers tend to have a better understanding and experience of photography as compared to a beginner. This is a viable option if you want to have a photographer with basic experience in car photography.

  • Beginner photographer:

    A beginner photographer can charge up to $50 an hour. This option comes in handy if you are starting out with minimal expenditure. You can expand the money pool once you have the customer acquisition.

  • Professional photographer: 

    Professional photographers sometimes charge up to $300 an hour. They have plenty of experience in their field. Choosing professional photographers provides you with added benefits and acts as a confidence booster. The sellers can be assured to be provided with high-quality photographs perfect for advertising.

  • Intern photographer: 

    Intern photographers charge up to $50- $100 an hour. These photographers work along with professional photographers. As a result, they gain exposure to the field of photography. You can hire them if you are willing to spend some bucks on good-quality photography.

There are sufficient reasons associated with the high price of car photography. A photographer has to face certain challenges while shooting the ideal picture. I will list down below a couple of reasons behind the expensive shoots:

1. Mistakes made while shooting:

It is extremely difficult to do retakes while shooting for pictures, depending on the light and exposure required. Thus it gets necessary to hire experienced photographers at times to get the desired outcome. This eventually calls for more sum to be invested in photoshoots.

2. The product in question:

Cars are not small or easily portable objects that can be carried around easily by photographers. Products that are larger in size, require good quality equipment, which tends to increase the price of photography.

3. Location:

Selecting the best location for the photoshoot is another integral objective that needs to be achieved. Getting the perfect location, along with the photographers, and arranging all necessary amenities bring in more expenditure naturally.

If you are not willing to spend a lumpsum amount on advertising you can use a good quality camera for the pictures initially. Instead of using highly paid photographers, you can use apps to remove backgrounds and create innovative advertisements.
