What to Expect When You Work With Us
Transparency about how we operate, how we price, and what makes this different from hiring a photographer.
We're a Specialist Studio, Not a General Photographer
A general photographer shoots everything — weddings, products, events, portraits, food. Their versatility is their value proposition.
Shutterfeed shoots one thing: manufacturing companies. That focus means something specific. It means we understand industrial environments — the lighting challenges of a dark forge, the safety protocols of a live production floor, the visual language that export buyers and tender committees respond to. It means we know what a machine needs to look like to signal precision, and what a facility shot needs to communicate to an international buyer who has never visited.
When you hire a generalist for industrial work, you get technically correct photographs. When you hire a specialist, you get visual assets engineered for business outcomes.
How We Price
We do not publish fixed prices because every manufacturing facility is different. A single-building component manufacturer in Ambattur has different needs than a multi-facility export manufacturer in Oragadam. Fixed pricing would either overcharge one or underserve the other.
What we can tell you: most of our clients invest between ₹1.5 lakhs and ₹5 lakhs for a comprehensive visual production project. The variables that affect your number are:
- Number of shoot days required
- Facility size, complexity, and number of locations
- Number of services included (photography, film, headshots, process documentation, etc.)
- Whether you need ongoing retainer support or a one-time project
We are transparent about pricing from the first conversation. You will know the full investment before we proceed. No surprises.
