Made by Bidsheet — the full quoting tool for photographers & directors.
Quick Estimate
What's it cost?
Seven quick questions. One ballpark you can defend. Built by working photographers, with pricing logic patterned on industry standards and well-documented commercial production norms.
01 / You
Where are you in your career?
This isn't about years served. It's about what your portfolio and client list look like today. The same shoot earns different rates at different career stages. Be honest with yourself, then read the breakdown to see where you can grow into.
02 / Format
What are you shooting?
Stills and motion price differently. Both means you're producing for both deliverables in the same shoot.
03 / Client
Who's the client?
Brand tier sets the ballpark. A national brand pays differently than a local boutique, and not because of how nice they are.
04 / Usage
How will it be used?
Where the margin lives. The same shoot can be worth 2x more depending on how widely it runs.
05 / Output
How much will you deliver?
More final pieces means more post-production. This helps narrow the range below.
06 / Scope
How big a production?
Shoot days plus crew size. The full version of this tool itemizes every line; here we just need a rough shape.

07 / Timing
What's the pressure?
Two kinds of rush move different parts of a bid. Pre-pro pressure squeezes your time and your crew. Post pressure squeezes editors, retouchers, and color. Be honest about both. Most clients today come in tight, not comfortable.
