Stillform / Studio toolsAsk about the setup

    For commercial and product photographers

    From a loose inquiry to a client-ready workflow.

    You send us one real kind of project you book. We tailor your inquiry questions, estimate checklist and client replies, then hand back editable files you can use in your own studio.

    No charge to ask. We confirm fit and availability before sending a payment request.

    One projectFour clear handoffs
    Inquiry

    What is being photographed? Where will the images run? Who approves them?

    Estimate

    Shoot scope, production costs, usage, review rounds and delivery dates.

    Preparation

    Products, locations, people and sign-off collected before shoot day.

    Delivery

    Final files, usage notes and one clear next step for the client.

    Built around your process, delivered as editable documents

    What changes for the photographer?

    Here is an illustrative product-shoot example based on the Stillform kit. It is a sample of the work, not a customer result.

    Before

    “We need photos for a launch next month. Can you send a quote?”

    Missing: image count, usage, deadline, decision maker and production requirements.

    After

    A focused inquiry form gathers those details. The estimate separates shoot, production and usage. Five ready-to-edit replies guide the client through the next steps.

    You still choose your prices and approve every message.

    One workflow. A fixed scope.

    The pilot customizes documents for one type of commercial or product photography project.

    You receive

    • One tailored project inquiry form
    • One estimate and scope checklist
    • Five client email drafts, from first reply to delivery
    • Editable DOCX files and a PDF reference
    • One revision round after you review the files

    You provide

    • Your studio name and the kind of shoot you sell
    • Your current process, prices and usage terms
    • One example inquiry, with private client details removed
    • Feedback on the first draft

    Outside this pilot

    Contracts, legal or tax advice, CRM installation, payment setup, account access and ongoing management. We do not send messages to your clients.

    Pilot offer

    $199 for one tailored workflow

    Tell us what you photograph and where your client process gets stuck. We review the request, confirm the exact scope and availability, then send payment instructions. Work begins only after you accept the scope and pay.

    This is a manual, limited-capacity service. The $12 self-serve kit is available immediately if you only need editable templates.

    Tell us about one workflow

    This sends an inquiry, not an order. We use your details only to reply. Privacy policy.
