NotShot vs hiring a product photographer
Hiring a photographer is the right call for a hero campaign. For a catalog of hundreds of SKUs it is slow and expensive. Here is the honest side-by-side.
Cost
A photographer is a day rate plus model, studio, stylist and retouching. NotShot is pay-per-render, no crew.
Turnaround
A shoot is booked weeks out and delivered days later. A NotShot render is about 10 minutes, self-serve.
Output and control
A shoot gives you a fixed set of frames. NotShot gives you unlimited variants, scenes and models on the same garment.
Where a human shoot still wins
A flagship campaign, unusual physical materials, or a concept that needs an art director on set. Use both.
Use NotShot for the catalog, save the photographer for the campaign.
