Series Brand (full day, 3 series × 10 steps = 30 frames) Rp 3,850,000. Workshop Module (2-day shoot, 50–80 frames for e-book/course) Rp 8,000,000. Pricing reflects tier-2 cities. For Jakarta, Bali, Surabaya, and Bandung, expect a 20–25% adjustment.

Fotofusi has a tutorial photographer + hand model network across 167+ cities in Indonesia. Major cities (Jakarta, Bandung, Surabaya, Yogyakarta, Semarang, Solo, Medan, Palembang, Pekanbaru, Makassar, Manado, Denpasar, Balikpapan), tier-2 cities, and regional towns. For multi-city brands needing uniform tutorials (franchises with cross-city outlets), technical SOP is identical at every partner studio.

Depends on step count. 5–8 step tutorials usually finish in 2 hours, 10–15 steps around 4 hours, and 50–80 frames for Workshop Module need 2 days of shooting. We always shoot with time margin to allow re-takes of frames that don't quite meet consistency standards.

Regular product photos focus on one product from various angles — what matters is each photo being good individually. Step-by-step photos focus on consistency between frames in a series — angles, distance, lighting, and tone must be identical so the step sequence feels tidy and easy to follow. The technique and workflow are completely different — that's why our photographers are tutorial specialists, not generic product photographers.

Yes, all packages already include 1 professional hand model with neat nails and clean skin from the local network in your city. If the brand wants the owner to appear as hand model (for personal branding), we guide the hand position to stay consistent across frames. No additional cost.

Yes, brands typically drop off products at the Fotofusi partner studio in your city 1–2 days before the shoot for props styling and storyboard finalization. Or if products are fragile/bulky, we can pick up in-city free for Series Brand & Workshop Module packages.

Because Fotofusi assigns photographers from the city closest to your shoot, there are no transport fees for shoots at the partner studio in your city. For on-location outside the photographer's city or on a different island, transport + lodging fees apply by distance — disclosed transparently during initial consultation.

Three main techniques: (1) permanent overhead rigs at every partner studio with set markings so angles + distance don't drift, (2) single-setup lighting that doesn't change from frame 1 to the last, (3) color grading using the same LUT for the entire series. The result — exposure, white balance, framing, and tone are identical. This SOP is the same in every city.

Absolutely. For small products (watches, jewelry, gadget accessories) our photographers use a macro lens and side-lighting that emphasizes detail. The top-down setup stays, only camera distance and focal length adjust. Results still clearly show every usage/assembly step.

Possible, as long as it's within the package's step count. We're flexible if a brand realizes it needs to add/reduce steps during shooting. The key is not exceeding the package step count — if exceeded, additional charges per frame apply. The storyboard is deliberately developed upfront so results are predictable, but room for improvement during execution stays open.

All packages include: (1) final edited file per frame, JPG + PNG high resolution, (2) upload-ready IG carousel layout with step numbers, (3) blog post inline layout (16:9), (4) packaging insert PDF print-ready layout (A5/A4). Workshop Module packages get a bonus full e-book/manual layout.

Yes, all packages include unlimited commercial usage rights — usable for Meta/Google ads, product packaging, billboards, and brand collaboration. What's not allowed: reselling as stock photography to third parties.

Escrow means your deposit and final payment are held in a Fotofusi account (not paid directly to the photographer). We release funds to the photographer only after you confirm satisfaction with the final edits. Plus 1–4x free revisions per package. For multi-city brands investing in tutorial content for a 1-month content calendar, this system protects you from vendor-ghosting risk or results drifting from the storyboard.
