How much does a fashion photoshoot cost in London?

A London fashion shoot is commonly charged at around £300 per hour, and that rate already includes one full look and 10 retouched photos. Added on top are: studio hire (roughly £35–£180 per hour), makeup & hair (£200–£550, averaging about £250), and £100 per additional look (lingerie / underwear looks are quoted separately). For example, a 2-hour studio shoot with makeup and 2 looks works out at roughly £1,050–£1,100: £600 photographer + £100 extra look + ~£120 studio + £250 makeup.
