How much does a commercial photographer cost in Greenville, SC?
At Jack Robert Photo, corporate branding starts from $3,125, commercial architecture from $3,500, residential architecture from $550, team headshots from $1,500, individual headshots from $650, event coverage from $275/hour with an associate photographer or $525/hour with Jack Robert (2-hour minimum), and event headshot booths from $7,500. Project prices scale with scope and the number of final images. For residential architecture, à la carte work starts at $550, with image packages (10-image, 25-image) bringing the per-image cost down as volume rises. Outside of event coverage, a single price covers a defined shot list and finished, retouched images — the deliverable, not the clock.
Is commercial photography priced by the hour or per project?
Most work is priced per project; event coverage is billed hourly with a 2-hour minimum ($275/hour with an associate photographer or $525/hour with Jack Robert). For project work, the value is in the finished, usable images, not time on site. You get a firm quote after a short consultation about the subject, the shot list, and how the images will be used.
How far in advance should I book?
Book 1–5 weeks ahead. Simple headshot or product sessions can sometimes happen sooner; multi-location shoots, architecture, and video productions need more lead time for scheduling, permits, and — for drone work — airspace.
What’s included, and how fast do I get the images?
Every project includes professional retouching and web- and print-ready files. Delivery depends on the service:
Individual headshots: 3–5 business days.
Team headshots: proofs in 48 hours, finals in 3–5 business days.
Event headshot booth: each guest gets a finished photo within minutes; the full set reaches you in 48 hours.
Event coverage: highlights in 24 hours, the full gallery in 5 business days.
Branding, healthcare, hotel and restaurant photography: 1–2 weeks.
Commercial architecture: proofs in 3 business days, finals in 10–15 business days.
Rush delivery is a flat $250 on any service.
Do you own the photos, or is it a license?
You don’t own the photos — you receive a license to use them. What that license covers depends on what’s agreed and where the images will be used — for example, your own website and social channels versus paid advertising or third-party and press use. The scope is defined up front, so procurement and legal teams know exactly what’s included. See how licensing works →
