FAQ.
Common questions answered.
01
How much does a 30 minute photo session cost on average?
A 30-minute traditional photo session typically costs between $150 and $400, depending on the photographer's experience, location, and what's included. This price usually covers the photographer's time, a short consultation, and a limited number of retouched digital images.
02
What do I actually get from a short photo session with a photographer?
From a 30-minute session, you can usually expect to receive 5-10 professionally retouched digital images. The focus is often on headshots or one specific look. Be sure to clarify usage rights – some photographers charge extra for commercial use or high-resolution files.
03
Is MyPhotoAI really cheaper than a traditional 30-minute photo session?
Absolutely. While a brief traditional session might cost $150-$400 for a handful of photos, MyPhotoAI's Pro plan gives you 20 high-quality AI portraits for just $35. That's a fraction of the cost for significantly more variety and flexibility, without compromising on professional look and feel.
04
Can MyPhotoAI give me different looks like a studio shoot would?
Yes, and often with more variety than a single short studio shoot. MyPhotoAI offers 14 distinct styles, ranging from classic professional to creative and casual. You can generate headshots in different outfits, settings, and lighting moods, all from your initial set of uploaded photos, giving you incredible versatility for various platforms.
05
How long does it take to get my photos with MyPhotoAI compared to a traditional shoot?
With MyPhotoAI, you'll see your AI-generated portraits in minutes after uploading your photos and selecting your styles. Compare that to a traditional photoshoot where you might wait 1-2 weeks (or even longer) for proofing, editing, and final delivery of your images. It’s a huge time-saver.
